Fall is upon us as crisper, cooler weather prevails across much of the country. It is arguably the season most evocative of change, and in that spirit NHF’s information resource center HANDI would like to share several resources that may offer guidance as you or a family member face a major life transition.
HANDI hopes that you find these resources to be helpful and informative!
