We offer Opportunities to help improve the Quality of Life in our Communities Science supports the theory that when human beings learn something new--any thing new--it improves their mind/body/spirit health. The human brain is able to continually adapt and rewire itself. Even in old age, it can grow new neurons. Most age-related losses in memory or motor skills result from inactivity and a lack of mental exercise and stimulation. In other words, use it or lose it.
