There’s a Whole Lot of Living Left to Do
We are here to provide credible resources, a calendar of activities, and anything else that we can find to help you live your life to the fullest. Health Checks is a community resource for people of all ages, with a special connection to the older community in Westman – let us help you see that there’s a whole lot of living left to do, no matter your age.
A great place
for learning.
Our mission is defined as Aging in Place with a checklist that focuses on the following sections: Health, Connections, Home, Safety, Transportation, Supports and Services, Finances and Community.
