The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — The Columbia Paciic Coordi- nated Care Organization is hosting a Student Well- ness Activities and Games (SWAG) event from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Providence Medical Group, 725 S. Wahanna Road. The event is for Oregon Health Plan members ages 12 to 20 years old. There is no charge. SWAG events are a cre- ative and fun way to make preventive care the norm for adolescents, and are intended to provide dedicated time to adolescent well visits in a way that is engaging and informative, by offering games, rafle prizes and food along with checkups and sports physicals. “By encouraging the ado- lescent well visits, we hope to establish a pattern in a young person of thinking about pre- ventative health care rather than waiting for a health issue to become chronic and dificult to manage,” Nancy Knopf, Columbia Paciic CCO community health part- nership manager, said. Data from Oregon Healthy Teens Survey, a statewide survey among eighth and 11th graders, indi- cates that Clatsop County has higher drug and alcohol used compared to the state average. In the visit, adoles- cents will complete an evi- dence-based screening tool on alcohol and drug misuse. Preregistration is encour- aged.
