greasy than most fry breads they had
eaten. The team worked well
together, especially during the menu
planning part of the workshop.
The team is very excited about
leading the Warm Springs workshop
for "Promoting Good Nutrition in
Local Tribal Programs" and think it
will be very valuable and fun for
participants. The first 2 12 day
workshop is planned for the first week
in June. The team will be sending out
information and applications to local
cooks and food service supervisors.
Eventually the team plans to expand
the workshop to include other areas
like Yakama.
Girl Scouts informational meeting set
The Western Rivers Girl Scout
Council will be holding an open
house Wednesday, March 29 at 7 p.m.
at the Warm Springs Elementary
Library to discuss establishing a
Brownie Girl Scout troop at the
Warm Springs Elementary School.
The troop will be open to all girls in
the first through third grades and will
meet weekly at the school.
In order to establish a troop,
interested adults need to be identified
who will assist with the organization
and activities of the troop. This could
be weekly, bi-monthly or monthly,
depending on the type of organization
that is established. Interested adults
are encouraged to attend the open
house to learn how they can be
involved.
Girl Scouts is an informal,
education experience designed to
help girls build the skills and
confidence to develop to their fullest
potential. Participation in Girls
Scouts helps girls build healthy self-
esteem, deepen an awareness of self
and increase their understanding of
their own culture as well as others.
The activities are fun, besides being
opportunities to build values and
participate in community service.
Parents of all interested girls are
welcome, whether or not they can
take an active role.

Costcllo at 389-8 1 46 or Helena Jones

Providing quality, cost-effective
health care
Despite the growing number of
services provided at the Warm
Springs Health and Wellness Center,
many patients are still referred out to
other providers by our doctors. There
are many reasons why patients are
referred out, such as to see a
specialist, to have a special x-ray or
to be admitted to the hospital, as well
as other reasons. When that happens,
you can choose from a wide variety
of providers from Central Oregori fo
Portland. Historically, many patients
have gone to Madras, but the
Managed Care Program, through the
Tribe, has been able to establish good
relationships with providers in
Redmond and Bend.
At the Managed Care Program, it
is our goal and commitment to
provide the community members of
Warm Springs with the best and most
cost-effective health care offered.
Please feel free to stop by our
program located in the Warm Springs
Health and Wellness Center.

Managed Health Care Program
