The Legacy Center

Need: 

The 21st Century and the technology that came with it has brought many changes. Some have been found to be significantly detrimental to our quality of life, health and well-being.

Some uses of technology have been found to be diminishing brain function, especially among young adults. Also related to device use, the US Surgeon General declared a national epidemic of loneliness and isolation in 2023, which leads to declining physical and mental health and overall well-being - even causing the premature death of many.

The most effective known remedy to those issues and other negative effects of modern life is consistent social interaction. However, these days, especially in rural America, opportunities for consistent social interactions are rare. In north Wheeler County daily opportunities for social connection are limited to meeting at eating establishments.

Therefore, The Legacy Center is a singular place where many efforts to benefit residents and our combined area community can occur. 

Three short videos providing information about the scope of the initiative are located on the Media link, under Legacy Center on the menu bar.
