Learn how ‘Universe
Always Says Yes’
On Sunday, March 1,
starting at 10 a.m. at the
Florence Unitarian Univer-
salist Fellowship, the Rev.
Dr. Marcia Pearce will share
a message titled, “The Uni-
verse Always Says Yes.”
Pearce will begin a series
of talks designed to show
how people are constantly
setting the Laws of Univer-
sal Mind in motion.
“The great metaphysi-
cal teacher Dr. Raymond
Charles Barker often af-
firmed, ‘The Universe al-
ways says yes —’ a state-
ment that encapsulates the
law of cause and effect,”
Pearce said. “He also said,
‘Our only enemy is our self,
and the only thing that can
hold us back is our own
mind. Whatever we set in
motion through our own
thought processes, the law
must affirm.’”
FUUF is located at 87738
Highway 101 at Heceta

chair accessible. Each ser-
vice concludes with refresh-
ments and a dialogue circle
to explore the questions that
come up during each wor-
ship service.

PeaceHealth honors health coach certifications, community scholarships
PeaceHealth Oregon recently
recognized its first group of care-
givers earning health coach certifi-
cation as a result of its Integrated
Nutrition Pathways Scholarship
program. The program, which
awards scholarships to Peace-
Health caregivers to become a cer-
tified health coach from the Insti-
tute for Integrative Nutrition, is the
first of its kind to be offered by a
health system in the United States.
Through IIN’s advanced online
learning platform, caregivers spent
six months to a year completing a
comprehensive program focused
on nutrition and holistic health.
“We are extremely excited to of-
fer this important health benefit
to our dedicated caregivers — and
now members of our community,”
said Meghan McCarthy, Peace-
Health’s system director of com-
munity health. “I truly believe this
program is positively changing the
fabric of our communities. It’s just
one more example of how Peace-
Health is innovating and partner-
ing to improve the health of our
communities beyond our hospital
and clinic walls.”
PeaceHealth has also gifted
health coach scholarships to nine
local community partners, includ-
ing two based in Florence:
• Siuslaw Vision & Florence
Food Share
• Western Lane Ambulance
District
for Home Care Services at Peace-
Health Sacred Heart, University
District, said she’s using her new-

how PeaceHealth is innovating and partnering to improve
the health of our communities beyond our hospital and
clinic walls.”

• Eugene School District 4J
• St. Vincent de Paul of Lane
County
• Positive Community Kitchen
• Lane County Public Health
• Catholic Community Services
• Cottage Grove Family Re-
source Center
• Cottage Grove Health Hub
These organizations will now be
able to offer a full scholarship to
one of their employees or a mem-
ber of the community on behalf of
PeaceHealth.
PeaceHealth’s Nutrition Path-
ways Scholarship program is avail-
able to any of its more than 16,000
caregivers. PeaceHealth simply
asks participants to “pay it for-
ward” by sharing their new knowl-
edge and expertise with friends,
family and colleagues who may
benefit.
New graduate Delisa Salazar,
lead patient access representative
found knowledge to help select
healthier snacks for the Eugene
School District’s NATIVES pro-
gram, where she is a volunteer.
“It’s been a life changer,” she
said. “I lost 35 pounds — it really
changed the way I eat and shop. I
didn’t expect to learn so much, or
change so much.”
A total of 77 graduates across
PeaceHealth were honored, and
more than 150 caregivers have re-
ceived scholarships since the pro-
gram launched last January. One
Peace Harbor caregiver—Peace-
Health Medical Group medical as-
sistant Sara Mann— completed the
program and earned certification.
The 22 Oregon graduates are:
• Catrina Adams
• Sueann Bankus
• Treena Bell
• Susan Blane
• Elizabeth Cuno
• Mike Dilger
• Sara Ensslin, RN
• Rita Farish
