WHAT MAKES RCC UNIQUE
One of the things that sets RCC apart is its dedicated staff who truly embody a spirit of service to the community. Cosham explained, "People don't meet them as obstacles but as challenges. And as a challenge, you solve it."
The staff's positive attitude and commitment to problem-solving were particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, RCC staff approached the situation as an exciting opportunity to take RCC's services on the road.
"Leila and her staff approached that as exciting. We're RCC on the road. And so, they had to move their offices and the facilities, and the building was still there, but the services still were handled," said Cosham, referring to Leila Gordon, RCC's executive director.
