Today’s bonus episode continues the conversation Jennifer had with Jude Rabig of Rabig Consulting. In this clip, Jude speaks to a moving experience from her career in which three ladies with cognitive decline just did not want to come inside at their newly built green house in Tupelo, Mississippi…. In 90 degree weather and full sun.

She assisted in shaping the model of care and leading the implementation of the first Green Houses in Tupelo, Mississippi.
