HEALTHY LIVES
United Way’s focus on HEALTH

Health problems have serious consequences for children, families, and the community. United Way focuses on providing independence for the elderly and people with special needs.

Studies show that seniors live longer and more fulfilling lives in their own homes.

The need for home and community-based services for older adults and those with disabilities is increasing.

United Way invests in quality programs including: meals for the elderly, caregiver respite, adult daycare, and trainings for families caring for those battling dementia. Partner programs also provide assistance to children with birth defects, community supports for developmentally disabled adults, and speech & hearing services. We help older adults and those living with disabilities remain independent.

United Way supports efforts that allow people living with disabilities to participate fully in the community.
