As the director of the Hazard Perry County Senior Center, besides having the best job in the world, I find myself challenged by the many opportunities that present themselves to our center. Recently, a couple of senior adults who are very precious to us, have experienced health issues. One person has no family, church or friends that they can rely on to help during their difficult time. Our center must rise to this challenge of helping this person by connecting them to all the resources they need such as meals, home care and caregiver services. Another such person is somewhat immobile and we must arrange their transportation to and from the center. This person loves coming to the center so much, it would be unfortunate if they had to be turned away because of our inability to get them here to the center. It is times like this, that I know our program makes a difference in the lives of people around us. I am so pleased to have challenges that remind me of why we do what we do.
