We were thrilled to take part in this year’s Clay County Days, where our team proudly showcased an incredible float designed by the talented Jackie Collins, Betty Sizemore, APRN, and Anna Smith. Their creativity brought our float to life and made it a standout in the parade!
As part of our commitment to community wellness, we handed out over 500 healthy treat bags filled with apples, oranges, bananas, pudding, and fruit snacks. These goodies were made possible thanks to the generous donations from our providers and leadership.
In addition to the parade, we set up a first aid station and community booth with giveaways, offering helpful resources and a friendly space for attendees to stop by and connect.
We love being a part of events like these that bring our community together. It was a day full of smiles, service, and shared joy!
