In October 1988, Sidney Holmes was unjustly arrested and charged with armed robbery. Despite being wrongly convicted and sentenced to 400 years in prison, Sidney never lost hope. Throughout his sentence, he earned his associate’s degree in theology and discovered his passion for customer service and personal growth while working in the prison’s kitchen. In 2017, Sidney applied to the Innocence Project, where his case would be reviewed by their conviction unit. Nearly six years later, in February of 2023 Sidney's sentence was vacated and he was released just a month later.

Hospital Happenings

Ashley Dupell, OT, goes the extra mile in making patients feel welcome. For example, we had a patient who spoke Russian with limited English. Ashley learned Russian phrases and words to be able to welcome the patient to every therapy session and make the sessions easier for her to understand. She also learned numbers to indicate repetitions. Ashley is pictured receiving her employee of the quarter award from Marcus Braz, CEO.
