The Wellness Committee – Beacon of HOPE
To the editor:
This committee has been developed to “inform, advocate, and facilitate the health and wellness of our neighbors on Pine Island.” We hope to find out any areas of health and wellness that are not being met. We will keep you informed about any health and wellness related activities as they become available and hope to increase participation in such activities. As a start, this will include free flu shots, free mammograms, a class on “How to stop smoking,” a Health Fair in April and a monthly article in the Eagle related to health and wellness. There will be a program at the Beacon on Nov. 15 called Health Choices – Insured, Uninsured, and Underinsured. There will be people there to help you no matter which category you are in.
If you are interested in working with us, our meetings will be held on the second Monday of the month at 1 p.m. at the Beacon. If you have ideas, needs, something you would like addressed ,please let us know. You can call 239-283-5123 or send an e mail to nsbuthman@yahoo.com.
