The anticipated work to construct a garden adjacent to the City of Apalachicola’s newly renovated Historic Holy Family Senior Citizen Community Center located at the corner of Avenue K and Dr. Frederick S. Humphries Street has commenced.
An
interdisciplinary team of faculty, students, and healthcare professionals from
the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine, along with Jason White
Construction Company are busy building the garden designed by Sandra Murphy-Pak
that's destined to become a gorgeous outdoor setting where our seniors can
gather and work at their leisure while interacting socially.
Led by Dr. Jill Sonke, each year
over spring break members of this learning service-program spend one week in the county addressing healthcare
needs, working on community development projects, and conducting health
screenings. The project engages the arts to address the needs of the Franklin
County community, particularly those
who work in the local seafood industry.
The 2013 county
project, which began Sunday,
March 3rd and will end Saturday, March 9th will focus on
continuation of the Theatre for Health Education project at the Franklin County
Consolidated School as
well as the development of the
Holy Family garden.
