The BCI Mission and what it means to me
Working for BCI means that I am supported in the approach to treat clients and their families with humility, compassion, and respect while also instilling hope in their lives. It is an honor to work with a company that shares my own personal and professional values and supports/collaborates with their clinicians to ensure the best possible outcome for all clients, staff, and community members.
