Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more.

All are invited to "Walk and Talk" with friends and neighbors each Tuesday starting September 8th at 1:30 pm. The group will meet in the joint Old Forge Library and Niccolls Church parking lot at 220 Crosby Blvd. Niccolls Nurses conceived the idea to provide socialization and movement to those interested, and the library wanted in on the action. Controlling blood pressure, lowering risk of chronic disease, maintaining healthy weight, fighting cancer, improving heart health, enhancing mental health, boosting mood, reducing stress, strengthening bones and being happier because you are socializing with fun people are some of the many health benefits. Walk and Talk Tuesdays will continue through October 27. There will be a group leader on hand and distance and pace will be adjusted to be comfortable for each walker.
