The traveling community quilt, created by Union County United's Art Team, is a beautiful reminder of the strength and joy that come from community. NAMI Mid-Ohio is proud to serve as a member of the Union County United Health Team.
The unveiling at the Avalon was a wonderful way to welcome what promises to be a year filled with connection and community in 2026! 💚
