“We start at start at our picnic shelter and we take it out towards our main entrance to the facility,” said Employee Whole Health Coordinator Amanda Miller. “Then we have it going down the sidewalk of our outbuildings that house some of our non-patient care. We have a few of our homeless veteran biographies on some poster boards so that people participating in the walk can read those and read about some of the former homeless veterans and how the program has helped them.”
