As we close out Olders American Month, we celebrate with a Health Day at the Tyrrell County Senior Adult Activity Center. We were blessed to have participants join us and take steps toward improving their health and well-being.
A special thank you and appreciation goes to Mrs. Samantha Combs, MDPP Lead Lifestyle Coach, Ms. Chelsea Combs, MDPP Lifestyle Coach, and Ms. Shakera Norfleet, Public Health Educator, Partnership for Success with the Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health Department, Mrs. Annette Ward, Paramedic and Training Officer, and Ms. Dejiah Siler, Advanced EMT, with Martin-Tyrrell Ambulance Service, Mrs. Dee Furlough, Director of the Tyrrell County Cooperative Extension, for your support and willingness to be part of this special day.
What made today so meaningful was not the size of the crowd, but the spirit of fellowship, education, and community that filled the room. It was a simple, informal gathering, yet it was truly a blessing. I am beyond thankful for these incredible ladies who took time out of their schedules to invest in the health and wellness of our seniors and community members.
As we close out this first event, I am already speaking it into existence: one year from now, we will be celebrating our Second Annual Health Day with bigger, better, and reaching even more lives.
To everyone who attended, presented, supported, and encouraged us along the way—thank you. May God continue to bless each of you for the work you do and the difference you make in the lives of others. ❤️🙏🏾
Shenita.
