Radio workshop to explore wellness ‘within reach’
Published 1:30 am Wednesday, August 3, 2022
Nicolena Miller, executive director with the Olympic Peninsula Healthy Community Coalition, presents “BE WELL — Wellness is within your reach” at the next WOW! Working on Wellness radio forum set for 2-3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10, on KSQM 91.5 FM
The Olympic Peninsula Healthy Community Coalition (OPHCC) works to improve the daily lives of all community members — first, through fostering individual activities and resources, and then by creating a coalition of community service organizations, health professionals, educators, legislators, business owners and individuals.
“What I am learning,” Miller says, “is that wellness is within our reach. Together we can empower everyone to take ownership of their health.”
The ongoing project seeks to embolden individuals to take responsibility for their own well-being through small, simple steps. Miller will explore the four pillars that create whole health: mind, body, spirit and community.
WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic — Sequim’s free clinic, which provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members. Work is supported by more than 70 volunteers including physicians, other professional health care providers an laypersons, as well as private and public donations from the Sequim community and beyond.
The Basic Urgent Care Clinic is open to patients on Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5 p.m. Individuals interested in supporting the clinic may call 360-582-0218.
