Even though we celebrated the 4th of July a few weeks ago, don't pack up and store that grill away just yet. July is National Grilling Month, and with the warm weather, cookouts and BBQ with friends and family are a great way to make the most of these summer months.

Summer Health Fair at Spring Valley Hospital
