Connecting to the Community

Connecting to the Community: Bob

BobOne key part of your health is your connection to your community. And one way to connect with your community is to get involved and give back. Each Saturday, we feature different ways members of the Northshore Acupuncture Center community are rolling up their sleeves and giving back.

Bob gets involved in his community by coaching his kids’ sports teams. Most recently he has been involved in coaching his son’s lacrosse team and his daughter’s hockey team.  If coaching isn’t your thing, you can still get involved by volunteering to coordinate the snack schedule for younger kids or by volunteering as a team parent/manager. You can support the coach by attending parent meetings, and making sure your child arrives at and is picked up from practices on time. Most importantly, the best way to get involved is to teach and model good sportsmanship.

They assist with helping these individuals adjust back into the world of civilian life, connect them with the correct outreach and treatment programs, help with their day to day struggles and issues, volunteer at veteran events, and help our veterans get back involved with the things they enjoy and introduce them to new experiences.
