National Night Out is August 7 this year. It has been celebrated since 1983, with the goal of strengthening communities and neighborhoods.

Dr. Nathan Engle, PsyD, a psychologist with Providence Medical Group, joined us to talk about building a community and the benefits of getting to know your neighbors.
