Clinic staff includes director Natalie Kiefer, Taylor and Dain Gilbert, and Alicia Oberholzer.
T he War m Springs Holistic
Health clinic offers complete physi-
cal therapy services.
Physical rehabilitation, greater
mobility and pain relief are primary
goals. For pain relief there is an
acupuncturist on hand two days a
week.
Clients at the clinic, a part of
tribal Managed Care, are mainly
seen by referral from a primary
care provider. “We see everything
for head to toe, and people of all
ages,” said Dain Gilbert, physical
therapist at the clinic.
After a medical procedure or
accident, for example, a person
might need therapy to return to
normal physical movement. This is
the service of the Warm Springs
Holistic Health Clinic.
Dain and wife Taylor are the
most recent physical therapists to
join the clinic. The staff also in-
cludes director Natalie Kiefer, Ali-
cia Oberholzer, Dr. Eric Mallory
(acupuncturist), and patient relations
technician Sonja Bryant.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, Ms.
Oberholzer and Ms. Kiefer are
physical therapists, and Doctors of
Physical Therapy. Staff members
also specialize in particular areas
of physical therapy, for instance
Orthopedics.
Their jobs involve much listen-
ing, as the client explains his or her
situation and how the person wants
to improve. “We are an excited and
dedicated group,” Dain says. “We
are here for the community, advo-
cating for health.”
The clinic is located by the court-
house. Managed Care developed
this service to save tribal members
from having to drive to Madras
for physical therapy. You can reach
them at 514-777-2663.
High Desert exhibit will feature renowned Native artist
T he work of Native Ameri-
can artist Rick Bartow will be
on display beginning in Janu-
ary 2019 at the High Desert
Museum.
The exhibit—Rick Bartow:
Things You Cannot Explain—
will be an extensive retrospec-
tive of the nearly four decades
of the artist’s work, an explo-
ration of his extraordinary life
and complex identity.
His work connects the
physical and spiritual worlds,
and explores the passage be-
tween the past and present.
Mr. Bartow learned from an
early age to honor and em-
brace his father’s ancestry as a
member of the Mad River
Band of Wiyot Indians in Cali-
fornia, as well as his mother
who is European.
Bartow would often spend
Sunday morning at church and

He was born in Newport, and

during his lifetime but always re-

stead. It was here be became

known artists.
The Warm Springs Indian Night Out at the
Warm Springs Community Center is coming
up on Monday, December 17.
