The Balladeer Children’s Program had some great events in February, with more fun coming up!
The program, a free benefit for Ballad Health employees, is intended to strengthen family bonds and relationships among our Ballad Health family. Activities include visits to area attractions, picnics in local parks, holiday celebrations and activities, sports activities, discount tickets for attractions or events, treats, take-home projects and much more!
Check out what our Balladeers have been up to lately, and if you’re interested in joining, see the information at the bottom of this article!
