Did you see Joe Hall walking through Lyon County, Nevada over the last few days? He’s nearly at the end of his walk across the entire U.S., from the east coast to the west coast, to raise awareness for mental health support and suicide prevention. He stopped by Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey Counties’ Dayton offices this morning. If you’d like to follow his journey, Joe Hall is on Facebook under “Hall Across the Country.”
