In the past, we maintained and expanded several health-oriented programs. Through health fairs, speakers and other activities, we educated the public about their own health so they can lead longer and healthier lives. We were the leader in establishing a fund to provide medical equipment to home-bound patients with limited funds. We also began Kids on the Block, a puppet program that taught school-aged children about children with disabilities.
