Tribal Medical Receptionist Jamie Adams speaks during a Meet &
Greet that the Tribe’s Social Services and Health committees held on
Monday, April 27, at the Elders Activity Center so that Tribal members
could meet health care providers and members of the Sexual Assault
Response Resource Circle. About 50 people attended the event, which
included a Mexican-style lunch provided by Nutrition Program staff.
Land & Culture Department employees Brian Krehbiel and Travis
Stewart performed the cultural drumming to open the meeting. The
Meet & Greet was another in a series of events the Health and Wellness
Clinic is participating in to better connect with the community. Also
in attendance were Health Services Executive Director Jeff Lorenz and
Medical Director Dr. Lance Loberg.
