As the Picture Man drove along in his red Dodge Neon he said it to himself several times “This is the best snow day yet of the season.” He had just passed by Roundhill and turned west on Brownsville Road and the brilliant early morning sun shining on the fresh snow almost brought tears to his eyes.

Does diabetes run in your family?  Are you at risk of developing diabetes?  Do you, or someone you know, struggle with diabetes control? 

February is heart month.  It’s also a great time to start making those changes to live more heart-healthy.  Diabetes greatly affects your heart health - having diabetes means having a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.

We would like to thank all members and the community for their support during the 2014 year.
