Provider spotlight

We want to celebrate the creativity, thoughtfulness, and hard work of Community Recovery Services providers. Walworth County teamed with one of their community living supportive services providers, Casa Mia Care Center Inc., to explain how their community-based residential facility has adapted to the challenges of 2020 and how their residents are benefiting. Read their story. This article was submitted by Walworth County. Do you have a provider spotlight article to share for a future newsletter? Contact the DHS Community Recovery Services team
