At the end of every year, we write a short leadership letter. It's our little way of saying thank you to our community of friends and partners.

Our biggest appreciation goes to our community; they are the number one reason why we keep doing what we do here at Care City.

An Entrepreneur Is Helping Women Receiving Chemo Keep Their Hair | By Maggie McGrath, Forbes
"Dilligan founded Cooler Heads in 2018 after spending $8,000 to save her own hair during breast cancer treatment the year before.

Artificial Intelligence Is On Its Way To Diagnosing People Using Their Voices | By Carmen Molina Acosta & Lisa Weinar, NPR
