I want to thank everyone who has already completed the Adult Services Survey and remind those who have not yet submitted your responses there is still time! If you have not yet completed the Adult Services Survey please do so by Friday, August 2, 2024. The responses so far demonstrate your meaningful public service and interest in growth and collaboration!

I am here to help so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions, ideas, thoughts, or concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey and for all that you do!

For any additional comments or questions, contact Kris LaVanish, Accessible Adult Services Advisor at krlavanish@pa.gov.
