Focus on health
Spring was sprung early in Sisters
Country.
That means it’s the perfect time to
start focusing on leading a more health-
ful, well-balanced life. Time to off-load
some stress, get outdoors, time to enjoy
the beauties and challenges of the outdoor
wonderland that is Sisters Country.
It’s also an injury-prone season, since
we all tend to want to do too much too
soon, to tackle the yard work all at once
or hit the trail for miles and miles.
Whether you are looking to be more
health-conscious and active, or trying to
avoid or recover from the strains of being
too active, you can find the services you
need in Sisters.
In addition to all its natural advan-
tages, Sisters is home to service providers
and health practitioners whose mission is
to preserve and enhance your health and
well-being.
It is a remarkable blessing to be able
to live in a relatively remote area with a
healthy environment, yet have so many
health resources available. Top-notch
medical care is available right in town at
local clinics, where the focus is not just on
treating illness, but on promoting your
well-being. And Sisters offers naturo-
pathic options to help you find wellness.
From hearing to eyecare to coping
with diabetes, there are skilled profession-
als who are expert in providing the high-
est standards of care. And there are out-
standing services to help our loved ones in
their twilight years.
For those of us who pursue an active
lifestyle, there are folks who can get you
outside and involved in exciting activi-
ties — and those who can get you back in
the saddle when you need to recover from
hard work or injury.
We live in healthful abundance. Make
the most of it.
Explore these pages for resources to
help you make your life more healthful
and fulfilling this year.

SPRING 2015
Absolute Serenity
Absolute Serenity is expanding its capacity to
serve seniors in Sisters Country. Construction is
well underway on a new adult-foster-care facility at
the corner of Adams Avenue and Fir Street. This
new facility will enable Absolute Serenity to con-
tinue its mission to provide seniors with a quality
home environment and a smooth transition into a
new phase of life.
The new facility will include studio apartments
for independent seniors as a transitional form of
housing before they go into the more intensive
adult foster care. The new facility will be named
“Anna’s Home” after Anna Jones, whom the Tolles
cared for over many years.
Absolute Serenity provides private rooms,
housekeeping, meals and snacks, medication
management and a range of life-enhancing activities.
They are able to serve residents with Alzheimer’s
disease, special diet needs and other issues.
Construction will be completed in June and
occupancy will start at the beginning of July, so call
now to reserve space for your loved one.
Sisters Acupuncture
Allergy sufferers are already feeling our early
spring. Allergies are associated with deficient and
imbalanced digestive, immune, and adrenal func-
tion. Diet, nutritional and herbal supplementation
and acupuncture are used to support and improve
those functions and alleviate symptoms.
For seasonal allergies, begin a holistic approach
now with a visit to Sisters Acupuncture. Greg
Wieland and Julia Wieland-Smith have years
of experience and deep knowledge in a variety of
approaches that can help you enjoy Sisters’ early
spring without the unpleasant allergy symptoms.
They can provide an assessment of your diet and
offer suggestions to use nutrition to build yourself
up.
They can also provide advice on supplements
that will build your resistance to allergies. And, of
course, they are specialists in acupuncture, which
balances the body’s innate healing and organizing
processes. It works great for allergies.
Don’t just suffer through or suppress the symp-
toms. Turn to Sisters Acupuncture to truly feel bet-
ter and enjoy the season.
