Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
Did You Know?
- While most fires happen at night, smoking and cooking are the #1 causes of house fires. Be sure to “Stand by your pan.”
- Reliance Integrated Wellness Center, a division of Holland Home, offers 8-12 sessions of FREE therapeutic services. They provide free transportation to their clinic, if needed. If you prefer Telehealth Services, they can provide you with a tablet, if you do not have a computer.
