St. John’s Words on Wellness will present “Senior Services
in Teton County,” on Tuesday, May 30 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the
Teton County Library. This panel discussion will feature senior service
providers Sarah Graham, RN, from St. John's Living Center; Lisa Delaney,
from Legacy Lodge; Becky Zaist, from Senior Center of Jackson Hole; Christina
Riley, LCSW, from the social services department at St. John’s Medical
Center; and Jean Day, from Age Friendly Jackson Hole.
The presentation brings senior care givers together in one place to educate
the community about which entity delivers what care and help them to better
utilize available resources.
“This discussion will highlight the many services available to seniors
in our community,” said St. John’s wellness director Julia
Heemstra. “We are aware that gaps exist in senior care in our community,
and we want to begin to examine which ones are the most pronounced and
what steps are needed to lessen them.”
For more information, please call St. John’s Wellness at 307-739-7466.
St. John’s Words on Wellness program is supported in part by the
St. John’s Hospital Foundation.
