Hurricane Harvey last fall was a devastating time for the Houston Area. Several of our caregivers were greatly impacted by the floods. Bumi Mwakibete was one such team member who had lost everything when her apartment flooded. Our agency was committed to helping those impacted by Harvey and one of the things we offered her was a used laptop which we planned to repair. She would call, text and email nearly weekly asking about the status of the laptop because she desperately wanted to complete the online training through IPCed. After several months of unsuccessfully repairing the laptop we thought all was lost.
As we began to kick off our training program, an update was sent to Kevin Lambing our IPCed account representative. He was very supportive of the spring training initiative and graciously offered a laptop to someone on our team who deserved and needed one. Bumi has been a valuable team member of Hearts at Home Senior Care for nearly two years and certainly fit that request. She has two sons, a senior in high school and one in college at Texas A&M Galveston. She was brought to tears with gratitude we we gave her the surprise laptop from IPCed. Thanks Bumi for your hard work and dedication, and we hope you put the laptop to good use!
Thank you, Kevin, for the laptop and your continued support! Premier training is a core value of our agency and we practice what we preach. Last year we logged over 1,000 cumulative training hours and completed more than 80 certifications using the IPCed platform. Our 2018 goals are just as aggressive and IPCed has been a tremendous training partner allowing us to provide best in class training.
