Health / Wellness
An ode to those who keep us fit and feeling good
Kafele T. Hodari
It’s kind of impossible to enjoy all of the wonderful things about Chico when you’re sick or in pain. So, this town would be nothing without its wide network of health care professionals and those who help motivate us to stay fit and relaxed so we can get out there and experience all that life has to offer. Our hats off to the health and fitness professionals that keep this community well.
