It was a fun day yesterday at the Orange County Employee Wellness Fair! Cate and Noreen got to help county employees learn how to recognize the signs of stroke and act quickly by calling 911. They also provided naloxone training and other public health emergency preparedness information. It was truly a wonderful event, with plenty of valuable resources for everyone.
