An Amazing Reunion!
Submitted by: Beverly Dunston
I have been working for Healthy Learners for 12 years and last week one of the most AMAZING things happened. I was in a pediatric provider's office with a child and his parents. I was helping the parents apply for Medicaid for their children and several times stepped out of the waiting room into the lobby to see the Medicaid social worker. I noticed a young man out of the corner of my eye standing in the lobby.
