We're proud to be hosting Partners & Pages in Sisters! This book club brings people together to talk about life and all that that entails; love, grief, loss, death, hope, and courage. It is a space for thoughtful conversation and intentional connection—anyone is welcome to join! While not facilitating Partners & Pages, Bethany Benefield serves as one of our Transitions Coordinators working with medically fragile individuals throughout Central Oregon. Our no-cost Transitions program is made up of four certified Community Health Workers, helping individuals and their families navigate community resources and supports to improve their safety and quality of life.
