 A Farewell From the QC/QJ Editor
Over the years, I've had the privilege of meeting countless caring, committed, creative people who are working hard to improve long-term care for those who give and receive services. Most of those people subscribe to this newsletter now, so editing Quality Care/Quality Jobs has been a great way of keeping up with what you're doing.
I've loved being able to help spread the word about your good work, and I look forward to keeping up with QC/QJ's news. I'll still be around -- I'm working for the Direct Care Alliance right now, and may be doing some work for other people in the quality care through quality jobs movement too -- so I trust we'll stay in touch.
Until we meet again, I wish you all the best.
- Elise Nakhnikian
