Dispose of unused or expired medication the safe way.

Medication that is thrown in the trash can be retrieved by others and improperly used or sold and flushing medication can contaminate the water supply.  Dispose of unwanted medications properly to prevent drug misuse and to protect the environment.

Norwich Police Department has a drop box located in their lobby to properly dispose of unused and expired medication.  No questions asked, no ID needed to be shown.  The Drop Box is located in the Norwich Police lobby at 70 Thames Street and is available 24 hours a day for medication drop off.

Drop boxes are a safe and confidential way to dispose of unwanted medication.

Falling is not an inevitable part of growing older.  If you have fallen or find that you are losing your balance more often, let us help you with Falls Talk!   A health promotion program for adults 60+.

Falls Talk is a free one-on-one program conducted in a no contact COVID-19 safe way to help you become aware of best practices and practical interventions to prevent falls.  This program meets the Administration for Community Living’s highest level criteria for evidenced based health programs.

Falls Talk is a personalized approach that helps you discover your own “fall threats”.  This increased self awareness translates into successful fall prevention in real life situations to help prevent falls.

We have so many stellar volunteers that we decided to start doing a spotlight
on them in our newsletters. Scott joined us almost a year ago as a volunteer.
During this short time Scott has made quite the impact here at the center.
He is a fantastic volunteer and is ready to pitch in with anything that is
needed. He has helped with all of our outdoor events during Covid-19
including Entertainment Under the Stars, drive thru lunches, parking lot lunch
events, helping to maintain the garden beds, Community First Meals,
rebranding committee and recently has taken the lead role as head volunteer
to oversee the community gardens. He is working on making the garden beds
self-sustainable with a drip watering system and has plans for insect
netting around the plants. He even convinced his brother to volunteer!
Scott, a retired dentist, is proud dad of a son and a daughter and when you
don’t find Scott at the center helping out, you can find him on his boat with
his brother!
We thank Scott and all of our volunteers for the time that they generously
give back at the center, you all make such a difference!!

Please join us in celebrating the life and legacies of our
featured models and our unveiling of our
Portraits of Life / Honoring Legacies Project.

We are honored to be sharing individual stories
with photographs and biographies.

Light refreshments will be served.
