Be There for Me!
Who among us doesn’t want to be there for our children, family members, and friends? At the Knox County Community Health Center, we are here for you and your family, and want you to be there for yours.
Family fun in the crisp fall air is here and we are so excited for it! Here is a list of activities that celebrate the variety of the season, while also social distancing and getting lots of fresh air.
It’s Time for Fall Fun in Knox County!
Fall is such a magical time of the year! A crispness in the air, football, campfires, colorful leaves, family fun, and pumpkin and apple picking, are just a few things we love about the season. And not only that, it’s also breast cancer awareness month and we have several services to offer you for your breast health.
It is always fun to pull out your cozy, comfy fall recipes using in-season produce. But, sometimes the same-old, same-old gets a little boring. Let these new spins using your favorite fall produce get you in the mood for all the fun fall has in store!
