World Senior Citizens Day, August 21, is a time to honor the older adults who strengthen our families, workplaces, and communities through their experiences, wisdom, and contributions.

It is also a good reminder that emotional well-being matters at every age. Aging can bring changes in health, relationships, routines, and independence, and those changes can sometimes feel difficult to navigate.

Support can help older adults find connection, build coping skills, and feel understood during times of depression, anxiety, grief, or life transition.

Van Diest Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides outpatient mental health services for older adults, including group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management.

This World Senior Citizens Day, we celebrate older adults and encourage continued care for the mind, body, and spirit.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT POSTPONED

Unfortunately, due to the rain and expected weather conditions this evening, we have made the difficult decision to postpone tonight’s National Night Out event.

We know many families were looking forward to coming out to West Twin Park tonight, and we’re disappointed that the weather isn’t cooperating. Ultimately, we feel postponing the event is the best decision for everyone’s comfort and safety.

We will be working to reschedule the event and will let everyone know as soon as a new date is set.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to getting everyone together for National Night Out soon!
