Throughout the month of May, the DIFHS Behavioral Health Team has set up a memorial/awareness table in the clinic lobby for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. There are resource materials available and traditional medicines to smudge.
We invite you to either take materials for prayer ties and make them independently or to make and leave a prayer tie in the glass bowl in honor of yourself or someone you know who has been impacted by MMIWR. Prayer ties left in the bowl will be taken to an outdoor location at the end of the month and displayed. If prayer ties are new to you, please fee free to read the flyer for more information.

We hope to see you at the Community Health Fair on April 18th! We'll have several health screenings available, including blood pressure checks. You may have high blood pressure without feeling any different. But even if you feel fine, complications could be developing, and can lead to things like stroke, heart attack, and vision problems. Knowing your blood pressure is important so that you can learn what steps to take to protect your health.
Join us on April 18 from 10am-3pm at Blossom House!
