In tough times, communities find strength in people—and people find strength in their communities. In the past year, we’ve seen this time and again in Dane County as friends, neighbors, and businesses have found new ways to support each other.

Getting a flu shot often protects you from coming down with the flu. And although the flu shot doesn't always provide total protection, the experts at the CDC and Mayo Clinic say that it's definitely worth getting.

This month marks the 26th annual recognition of family caregivers with National Caregivers Month.

If you’ve ever left your doctor’s office wondering what on earth just happened, you’re not alone. Sometimes doctors use vocabulary while they are communicating with you about your health that only other health professionals are likely to understand.

Happy National Senior Center Month! The Madison Senior Center is spending this month celebrating all that has been accomplished in terms of making sure that Madison’s seniors are supported in successful aging despite being unable to gather at the Center.
