EDITORIAL

This week has been special for the nurses and staffs of our nursing homes. After a year of struggle, the sun came out and the joy of celebrating with your co-workers was welcome.

Wednesday, the nursing profession was celebrated with a ceremony and lunch from two food trucks.

Thursday, a scavenger hunt was held with goodies hidden around the front of the campus. After that it was time for ice cream for all 600 staff!

The Coler residents also had special lunches this week along with their own out-door activities at Coler.

Thanks to all who have supported Coler, its residents and staff this past year and we are looking forward to a great summer!!
