On November 16, 2021, Care Initiatives pledged $5,000 to the Native American Child Care Center in honor of Native American Heritage Month.  This donation was made to support the mission of the NACCC to provide child-care services and an early childhood education and development program primarily for, but not limited to pre-school children who identify with the Native American heritage. 

Michael Barton, floor care/maintenance person at Parkridge Specialty Care in Pleasant Hill, met Care Initiatives annual challenge to come with a T-shirt slogan for 2017. Based on the theme super heroes, Barton reflected upon his fellow employees and came up with, “The Superheroes at Care Initiatives do ordinary things in extraordinary ways.” He was announced the winner of the contest at the Care Initiatives annual award brunch Friday, Dec. 16 in West Des Moines.
