On Oct. 17, the Siletz Community
Health Clinic held its annual Women’s
Health Night. It was a Halloween-themed
event with the goals of creating a sense
of community among female patients of
the clinic, raising awareness of health
issues, screening women as a preventative
measure and empowering women to take
control of their health.
The Health Night, also called the
Pap-A-Thon, served 40 women who
made their health a priority. Among the
informational brochures, booths and
health care professionals, there was an
abundance of food and raffle prizes.
The Siletz Clinic, the Tribe and the
community of Siletz would like to thank
those who donated to the event. The
success of the Pap-A-Thon would not
have occurred without the generous dona-
tions from:
