✉ You’re invited! Congratulations! Garrett County has been selected as one of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s 2017 Culture of Health Prize winners. Garrett County was awarded this highly competitive prize through demonstration of how well we work together across sectors like business, healthcare, and education to improve health in our community. The Garrett County CARC kindly donated the space and pool for this event, so we could focus on what matters most – giving back to our incredible community! Join us from 5-8pm on January 18, 2018 to celebrate everything that makes Garrett County a great place to live, work, and play. Bonus! – The first 200 Garrett County households to attend the event will receive a $20.00 gift certificate for food purchases at the Oakland Farmers Market or the Hill Top Market in Grantsville. Let us know you’re coming!

Join us for lunch on September 26th and/or 27th for a special showing of Chasing the Dragon – a powerful film about the growing epidemic of prescription drug and heroin abuse in the United States. This film will be shown on two days, and may be viewed in parts if you’re unable to view the full film on either day. This event is open to the public, and there is no fee for admission. Garrett County, a healthier place to live, work, and play!
