MAS Makes Educational Opportunities Available

Dear Seeley-Swan residents,

Happy Spring! As you know Missoula Aging Services (MAS) opened a branch office at the Bison & Bear Center in the fall of 2016 called Seeley-Swan Resource Center. I am able to make a complex system of benefits and services more easily accessible through education, referrals and individualized, person-centered consultations. Please make an appointment with me by calling 406-541-7688.
