We are proud to share that operations have now fully resumed, and to celebrate, we are hosting a Grand Reopening & Health Fair.
The event will take place on September 23rd, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:30 PM, followed by activities beginning at 2:00 PM. This celebration is being hosted by seven businesses that were directly impacted by the flooding.
We are excited to welcome a variety of medical agencies and food vendors who will be joining us. In addition, we will be offering several complimentary services to the community, including blood pressure checks, flu shots, and advance directive assistance, among others.
We would be honored if you could join us and cover this special event as we celebrate resilience, recovery, and community.
