É«ÖÐÉ«'s Los Angeles Older Adults (LAOA) program recently celebrated a significant milestone as David Ray Briggs Jr. marked an impressive 20-year journey within the organization. His enduring commitment reflects É«ÖÐÉ«'s core values. 

David's connection with É«ÖÐÉ« began at 19, started by his mother, an LVN at La Paz Geropsychiatric Center. He began as a CNA for three years, followed by six years as an LVN. David's mother also introduced his sister to É«ÖÐÉ«, fostering a family bond within the organization. David's path led him to the LAOA program, where Josie facilitated his transition, opening doors to personal and professional growth.

The team at LAOA captured a photo of team members' dedication of 19, 18, and 17 years to É«ÖÐÉ«, highlighting their journey from La Paz to the LAOA program.

At LAOA, David thrives in crafting personalized plans for program members, guiding them toward their goals. He witnesses members' transformations from the La Paz program to LAOA, igniting his sense of purpose.
