Highlights from the event included:

• A warm welcome from Bill Englehart, Director of The Heights

• A prayer and moment of silence led by Chaplain Liza Arulampalam

• Stirring renditions of The Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless the USA, and America the Beautiful by Kathleen Such

• The Pledge of Allegiance led by resident Willard Bechter

• A special address from Mayor Arunan Arulampalam, City of Hartford

• An inspiring message and Veterans’ Pinning and Certificate Ceremony from Filicia Ross from Accent Care, representing the We Honor Vets program

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make Veterans Day meaningful...

To all our veterans: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your strength. We are honored to have you as part of our community.

Thank you for joining us!

Last night’s Ask the Doctor event at The Heights at Avery Heights was a wonderful success! We had a great turnout and an engaging discussion led by Dr. Duarte Machado from Hartford Healthcare’s Chase Family Movement Disorders Center.

Special thank you, Dr. Machado, for sharing your expertise and answering thoughtful questions about Parkinson’s symptoms, research and clinical trials, medications, and daily management strategies.

And thank you to Holly Seymour, Program Director of the Connecticut Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association, for her outstanding moderation. Holly, your warmth and expertise always shine through—we’re so grateful for your partnership!

Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about Parkinson’s symptoms, medications, and daily management strategies—all while enjoying a delicious dinner.

We’re proud to host events that support education, connection, and wellness in our community. Stay tuned for more!
