In collaboration with area elder organizations, we provide many services for our Cambodian, Chinese, and Vietnamese elders. The elders group meets monthly and has a nurse check their blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, etc. The elders group shares a meal and has time to socialize. We bring in speakers to talk to them about health issues and services available to them as seniors. They also plan field trips. We celebrate both Vietnamese and Cambodian New Years.

They meet one Saturday a month, for a meal and activities. For assistance accessing the available resources, please call:
