The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community provides food, entertainment and prizes and fun activities for children are available after the walk. In addition, free health screenings and valuable health information are available after the walk. All registered walkers (not virtual walkers) who raise or donate $30 will receive a Walk for a Healthy Community T-shirt while supplies last.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Service Coordination Unlimited and my service coordinator for all the help and compassion that they have shown to my sister Joanne. Within the first few months, we were able to get a ramp installed at my sister’s home as well as a handicapped-accessible bathroom redone. I cannot tell you how much that has increased her ability to function in her home as well as being able to get out of her home for appointments. After fighting for over 6 months just to get qualified for help, it was a refreshing change to just tell someone what you need and they get it for you.

 But I must say the thing that has helped the most is how they arranged for companions to come to her home during the day while my niece is at work and help keep Joanne safe as well as helping around the house. I worried all day while I was at work that she hadn’t fallen and was hurt on the floor with no one to help. Our service coordinator also arranged for an alert system for her and the companions help steady her to get around the house. For the first time in a long while, I can concentrate on work instead of worrying about my sister. I would highly recommend Service Coordination Unlimited to anyone in need of compassionate assistance.
