WACONIA, M.N., - A partnership between the Good Samaritan Society and Carver County Public Health is helping to improve the health and emotional and mental well-being of the residents of Westview Acres in Waconia.
“Without this partnership we would not be able to have implemented these programs due to the cost of supplies and training,” said Emily Henderson, Campus Administrator for Good Samaritan Society, Westview Acres. “The residents and staff are very appreciative of the funding we have received through Carver County SHIP.”
Henderson said that the participants in all of the programs feel better physically, mentally and emotionally and that an added benefit is the socialization that occurs and the friendships participants have made throughout the past several years.
