Staff Spotlight: Welcome Back OHI Austin Staff Member, Cheryl Green

 As guests share time and again, the staff at OHI is second-to-none. Cheryl Green was proud to be part of the incomparable Austin staff for 24 years. “Spending more than two decades at OHI Austin was the joy of my life,” said Cheryl. “But I also have another source of joy in my life, and that is my five grandchildren. When my youngest grandchild was born, she was the only one living in the same zip code as me. I was given the opportunity to help care for her, and I jumped at it. So, while I was thrilled to retire from OHI to spend time with my granddaughter, I always said I would be back. Two-and-a-half years later, I am proudly returning to be part of the OHI staff once again.
