Honored at this year’s event will be Carl Tyler Jr., MD, who has worked for 20 years with a focus on improving the health and healthcare of persons with developmental disabilities through clinical care, research, education and training.
“Where Hope Grows” is a story about former professional baseball player Calvin Campbell, who is sent to an early retirement due to his panic attacks at the plate. His life is in a slow downward spiral when it is suddenly awakened and invigorated by the most unlikely person: Produce, a young man with Down syndrome who works at the local grocery store.
