Success Stories

Becoming A Peer Supporter

ADANC is proud to have worked with Richard (Ricky) Ward over the past few months. His Community Inclusion Specialist (CIS) noticed his determination to set goals and work to achieve them. Ricky's main goal was to earn his Peer Support Certification. Ricky had earned many certifications in the past, but this was one that he was looking forward to. Ricky wants to "help people that are like him and go through the same things that he has gone through." He worked with his CIS to find the right class and came up with a way to pay for it. Ricky has now officially achieved his goal of completing the Peer Support Course!

COVID-19 Vaccine Resources

The COVID-19 vaccine is available whether or not you have health insurance. All vaccines help prevent COVID-19 and are effective in preventing hospitalization and death. If your vaccine requires two shots, you will get a printed card and an email to remind you to come back 3 or 4 weeks later for your second dose. You will need to get your second shot at the same place you got the first one.  Call the COVID-19 Vaccine Help Center for more information: 1-888-675-4567
