at where we have been and what we have done, and we try to remember to extend ourselves grace. January is a time to cleanse, to start fresh and not dwell on who we were 12 months ago. So much change can happen in a year, so as we plan our future and commit to resolutions, we also leave some room to change our minds—to grow and be human. Here at Green Valley Lifestyle, we are so proud of the growth in our community through the last year and cannot wait to see what is coming for 2020. As new businesses open, old businesses expand, charities fundraise and we all turn one year older, we will continue to be right there to share your stories and celebrate your milestones. Happy New Year, Henderson. Thank you for being a part of our story.

CAPABILITY HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Capability Health & Human Services (“Capability”) was founded in 1976 as the Southern Nevada Association for the Handicapped. Capability has used many names over the years, including the Nevada Association for the Handicapped, Endeavor and, most recently, Easter Seals Nevada. In September 2019, the organization made the decision to rebrand as Capability Health & Human Services to better describe the services it provides to infants through seniors. Capability remains a Nevada 501(c)(3) non-profit and there is no change to the organization’s amazing programs and services. As Capability returns to its roots as a Nevadafocused non-profit, the organization is asking community members to please take some time to familiarize themselves with the new Capability website, www.capabilityhealth.org and to learn more about the countless ways the organization provides critical health and human services throughout the State.
