As a member of the Board of Directors of the Como Park/Falcon Heights Living At Home Block Nurse Program, I have been able to contribute to my community and support an organization that is making a difference for older adults.

I have been in that role for ten years and at the agency for 17 years. My educational background is in Public Administration. I have lived in Como since 2004. I am thrilled to be part of this terrific organization. 
Nancy Houlton I am honored to serve on the board of the Como Park/Falcon Heights Living at Home Block Nurse Program.
