Some of the best partnerships start with a simple conversation. At a recent Roseburg Chamber of Commerce meeting, we connected with Danielle Wade of CHI Mercy Hospice, a dedicated Alzheimer's Association volunteer, and Kristi Grimm of Affordable At Home Care, who's exploring how she can get involved. Community partners like CHI Mercy Hospice and Affordable At Home Care are essential to reaching families in Douglas County who are navigating Alzheimer's and dementia.
While in Roseburg, we also visited a local landmark with a story worth sharing: a 126-year-old Elm tree standing watch over the Douglas County Veterans Memorial. Located on the grounds of the Douglas County Courthouse, this memorial is registered with the National Garden Clubs of America as a Gold Star Families and Blue Star site. Its plaques honor those from Douglas County who served in every conflict from WWI through OIF/OEF.
Roots run deep here, both in this historic tree and in the community's commitment to caring for one another. We're grateful for partners like Danielle and Kristi, and for the chance to grow our presence in Roseburg.
