In a message to employees, President and CEO Gary Woomer reflected on the significance of their work: "Being a DSP is more than a job. It is a calling that requires patience, empathy, and resilience. Whether you’re teaching new skills, providing essential daily care, or offering a listening ear, your impact is profound and long-lasting."

CareLink is deeply grateful for the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our DSPs. Every day, they help program participants live safe, independent, and fulfilling lives. Their contributions are truly at the heart of our organization.
