Parking fees not as big a windfall as Gaston commissioners thought
It’s ok to be optimistic — keep spinning away. We are all for user fees, parking at a distance lot helps the Gaston Healthcare Commission and contributes to a healthier community.
Maybe the rate is too low?
CaroMont, YMCA partner for healthier community
Here is a good community investment:
CaroMont Healthcare, the for-profit management group which owns Gaston Memorial Hospital, and the Gaston County Family YMCA have partnered to offer wellness program opportunities to the communities.
Each of the YMCA branches will be hosts to a Nurse Practioner to provide health screenings, classes, and other programs as part of the overall Activate America program.
The YMCA and CaroMont are two of the partners in the Gaston Community Health Care Commission and the Get Fit! Gaston program.
This is a good use of community reinvestment dollars and brings together two leading providers of critical need services to Gaston County.
