Peterson described her excitement by saying, “The Langford is the next logical step in my career to fully embrace my calling to serve seniors. I can truly focus on the relationship, as well as the programming because the best programming is relationship-driven. Every experience is naturally more meaningful; every class, gathering, event and outing, when it is cemented by the relationships that happen when you live in community with one another. It is a very special thing to be a part of.”
