Wine Down for Evergreen is an annual event that is always a good time as we celebrate Evergreen Community, a non-profit nursing home. We provide award-winning, resident-centered care regardless of financial resources. Evergreen primarily serves residents who receive Medicaid. There is a $50/day deficit when caring for someone receiving Medicaid. This annual event gives individual supporters and businesses the opportunity to join our efforts to ensure that everyone receives high quality nursing home care, not just people that can afford it. There will be a silent and live auction, live music, and great food at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center on August 24th. Joe Lauria of Fox4News will be the Master of Ceremonies. The meal will include pasta prepared by the Evergreen Community Chef Jeff.
