“New research suggests that physical activity and other healthy choices can go a long way in extending lifespan. Many of the very old have decent odds of reaching their 100th birthday, even if they are living with chronic illness.”

Community Indigent/Low Income Services Committee (LISC)

Mission: To assess the service needs of low-income/indigent residents and to develop a "community response" to address those needs.

Activities of the LISC have included: reviewing data and analyzing information relative to the needs of the population and identifying resources available to address these needs. In response to the increasing demand for health care by the uninsured and underinsured, the committee also endorsed the concept of a community health center to provide a medical home for this population.
