The Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center welcomed community members on Monday, Oct. 5, for Community Wellness Day, a day focused on practical information, regional resources and meaningful connections.

The event brought together the Healthy Aging Fair and Pathways to Possibilities, offering educational sessions and opportunities to connect with organizations serving the region. One highlight was a brain health presentation from Dr. Earl Wilson of Ballad Health, who shared information to help participants better understand and support lifelong brain wellness.
