This festive event will make New Year’s Eve special for Parker’s residents, patients and their families, highlighted by an in-house–built ball that promises to outshine last year’s. The New Year’s Eve celebration is just one of many ways that Parker fosters friendship and community, emphasizing well-being and overall health. The outdoor merriment will continue at Parker with refreshments and music for residents and patients.
