Cheryl Laquay visited the Little Falls Rotary Club weekly Wednesday night dinner meeting.

Following dinner, Laquay spoke about Mohawk Valley Health Services and the diversity of programs offer for all residents. This includes people with medical problems, including dementia, diabetes, depression, and many with physical disabilities.

Attendees are brought in by bus for the weekday five hour program, which includes breakfast and lunch. Wellbeing preventative medical care is provided by employee nurses who dispense medications, handle refills, doctor's appointments and transfers to hospital or doctor's offices.

Beyond the care provided at the Health centers, there are programs that take attendees out for shopping, meals in local restaurants, museums, entertainment, such as plays, and riding the Adirondack railroad. By keeping patients active, it keeps them independent while providing lifelines and assistance with Social Service needs.
