    Keith is amazing at what he does. He is very respected by all his colleagues, RSW’s, and clientele! He is always there to support a cause and always goes the extra mile for a client/treatment partner/friend. Keith is a person you can count on, and can make a bleak situation turn bright.

    Keith is so very deserving of this award! 🙂 Nobody exemplifies the definition of Healthcare Provider of the Year better.

    Keith – Your passion for supporting people with brain injury is unmistakable, but I’ve really admire how much broader your commitment to communities and interactions are — from CYC, healthcare access across the North, to supporting and connecting rehabilitation providers who make a difference.

    Beyond everything you contribute professionally, you’re such a warm, funny, genuinely kind person. So wonderful to see you recognized!

I’ve known him for almost twenty years and am perpetually amazed at the continuous compassion, energy, and commitment he shows for those in the ABI community. Thank you for being you.
