From Cyndi, UHC Program Director:
In the short time I’ve known Raquel, she has proved to be a valuable asset to UHC. Raquel is dedicated and reliable, always taking her commitment to the program and those she serves seriously. Thank you, Raquel, for being an exemplary member of the program and serving your community with passion and kindness!
From Voronnique, Raquel’s Host Site Supervisor, Bear Lake Community Health Center:
Raquel has been a great asset to our organization and we are so happy to have her on our team! She’s very passionate about the work she does, and it shows! I can’t praise Raquel enough. She gives 110% in all that she does and serves without desire for recognition. I am so happy for Raquel for receiving this award! She deserves to be recognized for all of the great work she does.
