Congratulations to the Phillips on
graduating Tribal Home Visiting
Andrea and Robert Phillips enrolled in the Siletz Tribal Home Visiting Program
in December 2015 when they were pregnant with their first daughter, Kalaya. They
successfully graduated from the program when their daughter turned 3 years old on
May 27, 2019.
While participating in the Home Visiting program, this family accomplished many
great things. They bought not one but two homes, had another daughter named Kiana,
got married and both of them obtained full-time employment with Trillium Community
Health Plan as project coordinators for product development and quality assurance.
We are very proud of this family and excited for their future.
