What Community Health Can Do For YOU!!!!!
All Community Health program activities are offered to Tribal members and Tribal spouses.
We provide medical transportation to and from medical appointments; as drivers are available.
Home visits are available for wellness checks, blood pressure monitoring, health education,
home safety education, and well baby visits.
We provide Life Alert personal emergency response services to frail elders.
We provide an Elder Exercise Program twice weekly at the Elder Activity Center.
We have caregiver support services (respite care, caregiver education).
We currently have trained caregivers that can assist homebound and disabled Tribal Community
Members on a short term, intermittent basis with bathing, light housekeeping, and meal prepa-
ration.
We have a Registered Nurse who can assist with advocacy and case management for Tribal Com-
munity members who are hospitalized or facing new healthcare challenges.
At Community Health our vision for the future is to provide more wellness activities for youth and fam-
ilies. We are launching new programs in 2018 which include classes about chronic disease self-
management classes, healthy cooking and meal planning, and stress management. Our staff are cur-
rently planning multigenerational events which will help connect our elders and our youth in fun and
healthy ways. We also hope to be able to provide more in-home care services in the future, to keep
our ageing population in their own homes.
Please feel free to call us at 503-879-2078 and get more information about how our services can help
you reach your wellness goals. We will be waiting for your call!
