Juniper Village at Lebanon Independent Living resident Joan Stichler was getting cabin fever from staying in her apartment for so many months during the pandemic.

Congratulations to Emily Fair, who was chosen as the Hero of the Month at Juniper Village at Lebanon! She is a Connections Assistant, but she fills in wherever needed: wellness, dining, front desk, community relations, and she has even been spotted vacuuming on many occasions - a real “Jack-of-all-Trades”! Emily is also a pleasure to…
