This summer, children will be attending summer camps put on by five of Community Health Charities of Nebraska’s charities. These camps give them the traditional summer camp experience while also allowing them to meet and spend time with other kids who share the same medical needs and experiences they do.
Arthritis Foundation Nebraska, one of CHC-NE's 22 member charities, is hosting its annual Walk to Cure Arthritis on Saturday, May 13, 2017. The event will be at the Pavilion at Mahoney State Park starting at 8:30.
