Meet Melissa, "Our Own Ray of Sunshine"

​This pandemic has taken a toll on our staff, causing long hours, new and continuing changes, and extra time spent away from families and loved ones. However, our staff continues to perform their duties with unparalleled love and compassion. We are beyond thankful and grateful for their service and for people like Melissa W.
 
Melissa is a full-time employee at our McKinley Home in Knox County. She is one of the most upbeat people you will ever meet. Those that work with her say Melissa is "our own ray of sunshine and her laughter is infectious." We are so lucky to have her!
 
Melissa always has a smile on her face. She is full of positivity. Spend some time around Melissa and you'll surely hear her spreading positivity with her sayings like, "Stay beautiful," "I love my job!" and "This place is my happy place!"

Melissa's teammates claim her positivity rubs off on others in the home. More than a few times, they've heard one of the individuals they serve yell, "STAY BEAUTIFUL!" from his room, mimicking Melissa.

"STAY BEAUTIFUL" Melissa!

Melissa is part of this AMAZING CRSI team, and her positivity and upbeat personality really helps during these tough times. She has worked countless hours, doubles, weeks without days off - all for the love of those she serves. She gives 110% of herself always and never complains.

​Thank you Melissa for your dedication, compassion, integrity, and just being an awesome human! Your glowing presence to those you serve and those around you makes a difference every single day. We are proud to have you as a part of our CRSI Team!
