Arm Chair Travel
Come into the Health Resource Center and let’s travel to an exciting place. Armchair travel is when you sit in the comfort of the HRC among your fellow 14 Karat Club members and take in a travel movie to an exotic location. Where we travel to in the movie determines the type of food we have for lunch that day!

The support of fellow patients and medical experts alike can help members of our community cope with the loss of a loved one, learn more about managing disease, and provide health information to make a positive difference in their lives. Support groups offer help for bereavement, diabetes and more.
