Employee Spotlight - September

Ralph Solonitz was hired in 1999 as a DSP for New Avenues. He has since then retired but is still a huge help when we need him. Ralph helps with picking up shifts when we are understaffed. He has helped with medical appointments, outings for the individuals in the community and a lot of last-minute staffing needs. He is always willing to give a helping hand but most importantly, he does so with kindness. He has a great rapport with the individuals, and they all seem to enjoy it when he arrives for work. Ralph is also a very talented artist, sketching and painting photos of individuals at different social events. He has a magical way of capturing the essence and personality of all of the people we care for.

Thank you, Ralph, for your dedication to New Avenues!
