Exciting News Regarding Network Expansion!
We have exciting news to share with you! As you may have heard, Kaiser Permanente has partnered with Unite Us to connect community-based organizations, health care providers, and public agencies in the Mid-Atlantic region. These efforts will expand the ServingTogether network and allow partners to serve a broader population, in addition to veterans and military families. This effort will bring in additional service providers to serve all community members in the Mid-Atlantic region, covering Northern VA, D.C., Suburban Maryland and Baltimore. The initiative is rolling out in a three-part phased approach that launches on June 23.
Coffee Talk: The Power of Laughter
Join the Veteran Spouse Network and fellow military and veteran spouses, partners, and caregivers for a coffee talk, where they'll discuss how we're all coping with our current climate, and discuss what's been helping get us all through it, and what's providing us with those gut-busting laughs. Maybe you have a favorite comedian, funny movie or TV show. Maybe family game night is a sure way to bring on the laughing tears. Come ready to share your strategies for keeping laughter alive in your life, and how this can help you get through this time of isolation and uncertainty.
