And of course you can add images or whatever you want here too. Tabs are nothing new, but tabs that display inside your mega menu are pretty awesome 🙂
Did you know that roughly 40% of the supportive housing population is over 50 years old? For them to age in place with dignity, we must ensure stable housing and vital supportive services, as well as strengthen the direct care workforce caring for this population. That is why #GOCCNJ is grateful to CSH for joining our Coalition. CSH provides men and women facing homelessness with quality housing and support services. We look forward to working with CSH to advocate for increased access to advance care planning, palliative and hospice care services so that ALL people with serious illness and other complex medical needs can get the care they need and no less, and the care they want and no more. #goalsofcare ...
