Speaker: Geidy Lopez, Veteran Case Manager
How long have you been at David Lawrence Centers for Behavioral Health, and how did you find your way to your current role?
Geidy Lopez: My name is Geidy Lopez. I started working with David Lawrence in March of 2021. I relocated from San Diego, California. As a veteran, I was looking for a case management position in which I could work with other fellow veterans and I found my perfect fit here at David Lawrence.
Share a few details about your favorite part of your position and the team at DLC?

What stands out to you about the culture at David Lawrence Centers for Behavioral Health?
Geidy Lopez: What stands out to me about the culture of David Lawrence is that we are like a family. We're committed to our clients care and we're also committed to one another.
How do you see DLC's mission of providing life-saving and life-changing care in action?

One particular veteran comes to mind as he was about to lose his home and our veteran case management program paid for two months of rental arrears, and, as a result, his quality of life was improved and he avoided homelessness.
What makes DLC a great place to work?
Geidy Lopez: What makes DLC a great place to work is having the autonomy to complete my daily tasks, and also the opportunity to foster positive relationships with community agencies to achieve the needs of my clients.
