Members of the Southcoast Worksite Health & Wellness Collaborative enjoyed a presentation on March 10, 2016 on the upcoming American Cancer Society Relay for Life events in both Fall River and New Bedford. This year's events will be held overnight from June 24th to June 25th at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River and at New Bedford High School. More than four million people participate worldwide to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to fight back. The monthly Collaborative meetings, often held at the Sylvia Insurance Company headquarters on Faunce Corner Road in North Dartmouth, offer presentations on a number of topics related to worksite wellness.

Anyone planning to attend future Collaborative meetings is asked to RSVP Chairperson Angela Bras at 774-400-4466
