Ms. Hardin is a true team player who has been a constant source of support to her supervisor and to other case managers. She is one of those really dedicated professionals who work in the “trenches” day in and day out without complaint and without her due share of recognition. Ms. Hardin has gone well over and above the “call of duty” in caring for her clients. She and others like her make a really big difference in improving the lives of so many of the mentally ill in Southeastern Ohio.
