K. Nova mentioned that she and K. Peters planned to do a depression screening <br />in October because that is when national depression screening day is <br />recognized. <br />E. Takazawa indicated that the Life Care Center also has a health fair on a <br />Saturday in September. She agreed to work with E. Cabatu on planning events <br />for Women’s Health Month. <br />E.
