Warm Heads, Warm Hearts
For some of our volunteers and friends, Supporting a Healthy Neighborhood means making beautiful warm caps for our patients and their loved ones. These works of love are hanging on the wall in our hallway and patients can choose from a great variety of styles and colors. Over 70 hats will now be keeping our neighborhood a bit warmer and brighter during these cold, dark winter days. One patient, on her way out the door, said "I can't believe I got my medicine and a cap too!" Many thanks to all…
