Welcoming Spring with your Skokomish Community Health Representatives

Spring is here!

The Skokomish Community Health Representatives have had a busy winter season with Nydesta and Danielle obtaining their Washington State Nursing Assistant Certification, joining Tamela, while Tamela and Danielle have also recently become certified for Nurse Delegation.

Our team is also getting more involved with outreach and events around the community, most recently joining Toms’ Group afterschool program to talk with the youth about adversity and resiliency.  Partnering with Ladean Johnson from the language department, kids made medicine bags, did some language and craft activities during our adversity discussion. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to joining Toms Group again for some wellness education and activities. We noticed that we have some very talented youth in the community!

Please reach out to us if need of a transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, Medication pick-up and drop-off on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and navigation through social services department. Call the clinic to schedule the transport or medication pick-up, we are here to help.

What we love about being a Community Health Representative:

Nydesta: “I enjoy helping people and that I’m compassionate and understanding.”

Danielle: “I really like being involved with community education and making new friends along the way.”

Tamela: “I love hearing all the elders' stories and helping support the health and well-being of our community.”

Moving forward, each month we will be writing articles on several health and wellness topics, so please stay tuned!

As always, be sure to follow our clinic social media accounts to stay up to date with ongoing events and all wellness center related info.
