David discusses iCare’s innovative care model, including its nationally recognized MissionCare Health, which provides long-term care for justice-involved and difficult-to-place individuals. The conversation explores the importance of person-centered care, leadership, workforce development, and reducing the stigma surrounding these populations.&amp;nbsp; This is a powerful conversation about dignity, second chances, and courage to lean in and think differently.
