Community Services
A circle of support and care
Casa Colina offers a strong sense of community for patients and their loved ones, prospective patients, medical and rehabilitation professionals as well as its neighbors and supporters. In this area of our site, you'll find the latest information about our educational opportunities and events. We encourage everyone to take an active role in their well-being by participating in our support groups, wellness programs, and Outdoor Adventures. We realize these are challenging times, so we offer free and low-cost screenings as well as financial assistance.
