Thank you, Debbie Stauber, who stopped by on behalf of her son Justin, to donate a bin full of toys and activities he collected for the kids on 4-9000. Your gifts will surely be a welcomed treat!

We are so honored to be able to work with our interprofessional colleagues throughout Strong to convert our waiting room into the clinic busily vaccinating our front line health care heroes. What an amazing group of people they all are!
