Congratulations to Meadowlark's Leader of the Pack for December 2021: Rita Harsch! Rita is the Financial Counselor at Meadowlark.

Her nomination read, “Rita has really gone above and beyond her job duties to ensure that residents get qualified for Medicaid. One case, specifically, she coordinated with the resident’s community landlord to get the resident’s apartment cleared out, orchestrated the delivery and pick up of a dumpster, sat in on countless calls with the resident to help her purchase a funeral plan and transfer/sell stocks, as well as delivers the resident her personal newspaper on Mondays. Rita visits that resident every day (that she is on campus) to ensure that she has everything she wants and needs. Recently Rita came in on her day off to help this resident buy a cell phone so she could talk to her sister.

This is just one of many difficult Medicaid application cases that she has navigated through recently. Rita is a great advocate for our residents and for our company."

Meadowlark is delighted to have her as part of the team! Thank you, Rita!
