S IL E T Z C .H R NEW S Siletz Nutrition/Exercise Class: The Nutrition and Exercise Class held Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. will not be held during the summer. With the,hectic schedules of summer-time and vacations we thought it would be better to hold back until September. If you would be interested in only the exercises, let Wilma or Maxine know. If enough people come to the aerobic dance (exercise) it could continue throughout summer. The nutrition classes will begin again in September. See you then!! r, m Wynona Town, Nutritionist Chemawa Indian Health Center Thanks to the Siletz A.A. Program for another good friend Beverly White.

IN D IA N HEALTH N E W S B y: K a t h y P h ip p s The Indian Health Service is currently carrying a contract with Lincoln County Health Department to provide health services to Tribal members and their dependents living within Lincoln County. At this time the services are under-utilized and I would encourage all eligible members to seek care through this source. The major services available are: (1) Blood pressure and diabetes screening along with nutritional counseling and available at the Siletz Area Office on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month. (10:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.) (2) Tribal Members may also go to screening clinics located in other communities within the county at no cost. (3) All services provided at the Lincoln County Health Department in Newport including immunizations, well-child clinics, and family planning are also available at no cost. Whenever you request services through the Lincoln County Health Department please identify yourself as being eligible for the Siletz pre-paid health program. There is no need to pay for services already covered by this contract.
