Here at MediSked we have an incredible amount of respect for the folks at Microsoft and the work that they do. It may have something to do with the fact that one of our co-founders and some of the smartest people on our team have come from Microsoft - but even if we didn't have personal ties - we would still have a whole lot of love and admiration for the world's largest software maker - techwise and beyond.

You see, Microsoft does a whole lot of good for the world - and today some of that good is hitting very close to home. Partnering with Special Olympics, Microsoft has just announced a new initiative to empower and promote inclusion and respect for people with intellectual disabilities. It's part of their Windows 10 #UpgradeYourWorld campaign and it's a really beautiful thing.

This weekend, many will celebrate Easter - and either hide, find, or open colorful plastic eggs. The majority of them will not give any thought to where those eggs came from - and that's ok, but if they knew - it just might bring an additional smile to their face.

Today, March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day. The date (3/21) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome, and 

Initially created to raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities, it's the perfect opportunity to create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.

Below are two graphics perfect for social media sharing, in case you'd like to let everyone in your network know about the occasion. Make it a good one!

• If you haven't seen our new Person-Centered Portal Page yet, you're really missing out.
  
  We just recently added it to our website, as our progressive new portal is officially available! Agencies using MediSked Connect or MediSked Coordinate can choose to use it ontop of their existing system to give individuals and their families a whole new way to participate in the direction and approval of their supports and services. 
  
  We're incredibly proud and excited to offer this option, as our team has worked incredibly hard to build a truly (and very literally) person-centered portal that allows individuals and their circles of support to be more informed and more involved when it comes to their own lives. 
  
  From making assessments, plans, and health records readily available to giving individuals the ability to approve their own service notes and send secure messages to anyone on their care team, it gives people (and their families) more of a say. 
  
  It's always nice to think that your work is making a difference in the world-  and with the release of this portal, we have no doubt that we're changing things for the better! 
  
  Make sure to check out the actual portal page to learn more.
