It is that time of year again for story time with Mrs. Claus.  Mrs. Claus is a special friend to Synergea and will be coming to read some of our favorite Christmas stories and visit with the children on Wednesday, December 14th from 10:30am – 11:30am. Delicious, healthy, treats will be provided by our neighbors Amaranth Foods, including dairy and gluten free choices.
We are proud to announce that Synergea is now carrying the next generation of pillow, the Envy Pillow! With Envy, sleep is both “therapeutic” and “restorative”. The Envy Pillow is ergonomically designed to give you the best beauty sleep. With two optional levels of neck support and elevated sides, it cradles your head and maintains optimal spinal alignment.
For the second year, Synergea Family Health Centre with Alberta Chiropractors, are proud to work in conjunction with United Way and Woods’ Homes to collect 25,000 pairs of socks for homeless Albertans through our Toasty Toes Sock Drive! Socks are the most requested items by shelters, yet they are also the least donated. This September, donate new socks at your chiropractor’s clinic. All donations will go towards shelters and programs across Alberta.
