What do we do at the clinic
about Health Promotion?
Have you ever noticed all the
disease prevention health promotion
activities that occur at the Warm
Springs Health and Wellness Center?
Listed below are samples of the type
of Health promotion programs that
our staff are involved in. These are
not the only ones we do but these are
some of our more frequent activities.
The Indian Health Service coordi
nates with various Tribal programs to
focus on providing health information
to the community. Our goal is to pre
vent illness and to promote healthy
lifestyles. .

First and Third graders.
Boys and Girls Club
Some topics covered include seat
belts, poison prevention, instruments
a doctor uses, saying 'no' to alcohol,
dental bingo and tobacco use.

The focus is on seat belts. This
year seat belt legislation went into
effect on the Reservation. "Buckle
Bear" has been to visit Headstart
classes and encourage them to buckle
up. Vince and Larry, the crash dum

known to pop up at health fairs or
walks.

A policy has been implemented to
promote and standardize our violence

OK. New this year was a walk against
violence. It was from VOCS to IHS,
with a lunch here at the end. We also
have the "Hands are Not for Hurting"
pledges still up and you can still make
pledge to not use your hands for hurt

Hello everyone,
We wanted to give you an up
date on who we are, what we've been
doing, and to remind you to get out
and exercise for the November Fit
ness Challenge. And you don't have
be on a Fitness Challenge Team to
take advantage of all the great oppor
tunities at the Community Wellness
Center.
The Diabetes Program was
awarded a grant from HIS to work on
diabetes awareness and prevention.
We created a team to work on differ
ent project to benefit the community.
The team members are Diana Howell,
Kathryn Queampts, Carol Wewa,
Austin Greene, and myself (Rob
Collison).
With the money we get from this
grant, we have hired Lucinda Green
as a Wellness Coordinator, bought
exercise and training equipment, pro
vided training to exercise staff, and
helped support the Strong in Body
and Spirit diabetes education team.
And there are many more projects to
come.
One of our big projects is almost
done! We want everyone to try out
the new paved walking path around
the Community Wellness Center.
Special thanks are due to everyone
who worked so hard with me to make
this project possible: Austin Greene,
Diana Howell, Kathryn Queampts,
Carol Wewa, Susan Mathew, Russ
Alger, Jim Quaid, Del Towel, and all
those community members who sup
ported this attempt to provide a safe
place for everyone walk, run and bike.
Keep on the lookout for our next
project: A huge playground for the
kids - it is going in right next to the
Community Wellness Center and will
take the place of the old equipment
that is there now.
If you have any suggestions for
future projects, you can give your
ideas to any one of the team mem
bers or call me at 553-2478.
