Good NEWS for a Better LIFE was created in 2006 as a product of two programs serving the well (senior volunteer caregivers providing social support services such as telephone calls, visits, shopping assistance, minor home repair, yard work, chore services and transportation to hundreds of other senior citizens) and the frail (those seniors who need health education, screenings, exercise and healthcare). Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle and Good NEWS work together to enrich the quality of life of seniors. Since 2007, only three people have been discharged from Good NEWS to a nursing home, with six current participants over the age of 90 living at home independently.
