FROM THE EDITOR

In pursuit of health happiness I t was a muted end to a year that began like any other. Of course, by March, most of our regular routines had changed drastically. But community members and businesses both learned to adapt in ways that we could not have anticipated at the start of 2020.

Together, we begin a new year with more uncertainty than usual. However, we can still find new ways to invest in personal growth and improve health outcomes for everyone in the years ahead. In 2021, Four Corners Healthy Living will continue to focus on ways to help people connect, collaborate and thrive.
