We had a great time today at the Douglas County Senior Expo sharing information on Lakes Area Age Friendly and our commitment to Dementia Friendly initiatives and emergency preparedness. Lisa Duberowski, Manager of Population Health at Vivie, and Douglas County Emergency Manager Julie Anderson spent time at our table. Attendees could take a severe weather preparedness survey and share their thoughts on important topics for seniors.
