Still Connected: An Eden II Programs Update
An Eden II Programs Update
We have had so much fun this week seeing all of your "Spirit Week" photos! Today's theme is "Favorite Character Day" and Friday, June 31st is "Pajama Day!" You may send your pictures to mhiggins@eden2.org or Kara Lamendola at klamendola@eden2.org.

While we have been highlighting many positive and light-hearted stories, we understand many are dealing with increased stress and anxiety during this time. We have shared a document below that offers some tips and tricks to help manage stress levels.

Support Critical Services & Continue
State’s Retainer Payments
A recent announcement by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to reduce "retainer day payments" will lead to a significant reduction in services. Without this funding, we do not know if some providers will still be in service in the future.

Please take a moment to visit the link below and fill out the message to the Governor, and share with your family and friends!
