| |  | HCA celebrates diversity in the workplace! Over the summer, our Residential Services Dept. gathered outdoors to celebrate the many diverse cultures within our organization. HCA employees shared food and music represented by following countries, provinces and states: Brazil, Cameroon, Columbia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Guyana, Haiti, India, Iraq, Jamaica, Kenya, Kurdistan, Liberia, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Serbia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda, Ukraine, and the United States. The food was delicious and we would like to thank our co-workers for sharing their traditions and favorite dishes with us. |

Prasant and Bana are originally from India, and Bana just recently became a United State Citizen! Both Prasant and Bana love working at HCA and with our individuals. Prasant says, "I feel comfortable working with the individuals. I see the change in their life. If you can give one person light, that's a great joy!" |
