The time has come to say goodbye to 2021, and hello to 2022! So much has happened this year, and it’s important to pause and take a look back and reflect on the events of the year.

If you are a fan of making new-year resolutions, answering these questions may guide you to a resolution for 2022. 

Next, let’s take a moment to reflect on this year’s blogs. We began the year with just one blog a month. In June, July and August, we had 2 blogs each month. September kick-started our transition into four blogs a month. With this new shift, we have been able to provide more content with the ultimate goal of improving overall health and wellbeing to our communities… and of course a few pet photos! Below is a breakdown of our blogs in 2021:

Thank you to all of you for being a part of our journey. Continue to join us for new topics and more weekly blogs in 2022! 

We here at Touchstone Health Services Prevention Department wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
