Severin said. “I’m grateful to once again partner with Senator Bryant to help connect our seniors with important services, answer questions, and make sure they know we’re working on their behalf.”
“Our seniors have spent their lives strengthening our communities, and they deserve access to the information and services that help them stay healthy and independent,” Sen. Bryant said. “This event brings together trusted local organizations in one place, making it easy for seniors and their families to learn about available resources, receive free screenings, and visit with their state legislators.”
