Crow Wing County is partnering with Cuyuna Area Connections to help remove boundaries, build networks and provide education to sustain independence for aging community members and caregivers.

The county invites those interested to join Jode Freyholtz-London, 2017’s Rural Health Hero, and founder and executive director of Wellness in the Woods, to hear personal stories of hope, learn about ways to connect virtually with others throughout the communities in which we live, work and play, as well as learn about the upcoming free offering of Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) for seniors coming in September.
