DRIVING FOR OLDER ADULTS
Thursday, October 17 at 2 PM
Traci Edmondson from the Outagamie County Aging and Disability Resource Center
will speak on safe-driving strategies for older people. Maybe you already know that
driving at night or in rainy weather is a problem for you. Some older drivers also
have problems with certain routes or driving on busy highways.
Is it time to have “the talk” about giving up driving? We all age differently, and for this reason, there is no one recommended age to quit driving. Come listen to safe driving ideas and strategies that will help keep you driving safely.
Please call 920-734-7225 or email our Resource Advocate Jean George at resource.fvlhomes@gmail.com for further information.

UNDERSTAND YOUR LAB RESULTS
Thursday, November 21 at 2 PM
A laboratory (lab) test checks a sample of your blood, urine or tissue to learn about your health.
Test results that aren't normal gives your health care provider clues about the type of health problems you may have. The results help your provider decide whether you need more tests and which ones will be most useful for diagnosing or ruling out certain conditions. Join us as we learn more about lab results.
