"The BHPN is committed to helping create a more equitable world so people with developmental disabilities can choose their path,” said Dr. Tracy Gayeski, Senior Vice President of the BHPN. “Being progressive with our care options and flexible in our delivery is a strategy that supports this and allows us to expand our impact as a network. It also helps the families we serve have more ability to shape their care and focus on what will best allow them to thrive.”

"Enhancing Your Impact builds on this with thought-provoking presentations and live Q&As to help our practitioners learn new strategies for person-centered care, equity and inclusion, self-care, and parent-mediated treatment,” added Gayeski. “Bringing these timely topics to our network helps ensure our practitioners are better able to maintain their wellbeing and continue to provide high quality, outcomes-driven care to the families we serve today and into the future.”
