Review Your Medicare Plan Every Year

By JETTA WIEDEMEIER BOWER, for the Senior LinkAge Line and Trellis It’s important to select a Medicare plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.

The Final Installment: Air Quality and Cumulative Impacts

Part III of a III Part Series By H. LYNN ADELSMAN and ROB HENDRICKSON It’s hard to know exactly which toxins are in our air and how much we inhale. What we do know is some of our neighbors have trouble breathing at certain times of day. We know too many children with asthma and heart problems; elders with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and other lung issues. We know the smells of certain buildings; the heavy air in our parks; the sounds and feelings of our streets.As we look at this article’s map, we can see it isn’t just one thing giving rise to these experiences when you live in the Phillips community.
