Description

AZCEND is built on 5 core values

• Integrity: We perform all of our daily duties with utmost integrity, knowing that the communities we serve trust us to assist their most vulnerable residents
  
  
• Compassion: Compassion for our community and the people we serve is what drives everything we do, knowing that when one person reaches out to help another, both are lifted up in the process
