Milestone: Agnes Johnson Celebrates 15 Years as a DSP for Dungarvin Oregon

The Dungarvin Oregon team recently celebrated Agnes Johnson’s 15th year as a Direct Support Professional – a Milestone anniversary for sure! Agnes and her daughter enjoyed a wonderful meal and a lot of fun at the Cheesecake Factory in Portland with the Dungarvin team, including Oregon managers, Vice President of Operations Robert Bachicha and Northwest Regional Director Brent Aberg.

“We had a great time reliving some of Agnes’ favorite memories over the last 15 years, and she shared her inspirational story of coming to the U.S. from Ivory Coast as a Liberian refugee,” said Oregon State Director Brenda Linden. “She’s truly one of the most remarkable individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her unwavering dedication to the people she supports, regardless of the program or setting, is nothing short of inspiring. Even after long overnight shifts, she continues to show up wholeheartedly for her children and grandchildren, always putting their needs first.”

“Agnes is very caring and dedicated to the residents she supports,” added her supervisor Patsy Salinas. “She has a different and special relationship with each individual she supports. She always has a smile and is willing to help others. It is a joy to work with her.”

Agnes says she has stayed with Dungarvin for 15 years because of the people – the ones she supports and the ones with whom she works.
