Entries for February 2009

Office for the Aging (OFA) is dedicated to improving the health and wellness of seniors and their families in Chautauqua County. I would like to feature some of our community partners that collaborate with OFA on various programs and let you know what these agencies do beyond assisting OFA. CCHN has partnered with OFA on many occasions over the years because of our parallel missions of improving the health of people in our community. Over the last two years, I have had the pleasure of working with Executive Director, Ann Abdella, and the CCHN staff on many projects that are making a difference in our county like "Built Environments" a "STEPS to a Healthier NY" initiative to encourage improvements to the environment that promote healthy activities.
