"Every year, we organize a food drive at our clinics, and this is the first at our new Brier Campus," said Dr. Jason Lohr, CEO of SAC Health.

Our goal is always to support the health and well-being of our community, and through our Community Resource Center we provide food and other lifestyle assistance.

The distributed food items included:

·       A turkey for each household

·       Fresh vegetables (corn, bell peppers, broccoli, etc.)
