Our annual flu clinic was held last month with a “boo to the flu” theme! Thank you to all our staff who work so hard to make sure we all stay healthy and protected.

Did you miss our Therapeutic Thursday segment last week? LCSW, John Norris presented a powerful reminder that grief and loss affect each of us in different ways and at a variety of times and intensity levels. Thank you for putting into perspective how vital it is to address our feelings and to call on a professional when needed. Getting counseling for and with those you know who are experiencing pain can make a world of difference. Click below for a recap!
