Thank you for sharing, Jan. I am definitely someone who gets “tech neck” frequently from screen time (9:49pm and I’m hunched over a computer…oops). Do you have any information on techniques to lower screen time in working individuals and/or stretches to help combat neck and back pain stemming from screen time? Thanks!

Next week I will share the preliminary results from our Launch Survey, which centers on what matters to the people of Allegany County.
If you haven’t taken the survey yet, please do! It’s very short and takes little time 🙂

An important topic was unintentionally missing in the Launch Survey. Services and opportunities for people with developmental disabilities or special needs is very important.

If anyone else feels that this is an important issue please include it in the “other” category in the survey, or share more in the conversation here.
