Exercise
Those who Zumba together, party together!
We love seeing the connections and relationships that form between patients participating in our Wellness Program, including weekly Zumba classes taught by amazing volunteer Paula Grabill.
The Zumba class gathered for a Valentine's Day potluck meal. We're inspired to see the cross-cultural connections these men and women have made, forming a supportive community focused on health!
Cooking Matters @ Alliance
The winter session of Cooking Matters @ Alliance concluded with a meal challenge a la Chopped!
The class divided into two teams, each given their choice of vegetables and a few staples and challenged to see which group could make the best dish. They jumped in without much discussion and prepared delicious meals!
Congratulations to team Juan, Hector, Maria, and Genoveva, preparing a delicious curry vegetable dish!
