What happens behind the scenes when someone is lost, injured, or overdue in the backcountry?

In this new episode of Between Here and Help, Nicole Ringgold speaks with Christina Woodworth, Search and Rescue Coordinator for the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office, about the volunteer teams who respond when emergencies happen across one of Washington’s largest and most rugged counties.

They talk about how rescues are launched, the realities of remote terrain, prevention, text-to-911, and the people who step forward when others need help most.

A thoughtful and eye-opening conversation about community, preparedness, and what it means to show up when it matters.

We are exceptionally grateful for the professional, hard-working staff in the County's 911 dispatch center. They are always a pleasure to talk to and work with!

April 12 -18 is National Telecommunicator week so we take a moment to acknowledge the FIRST first-responders, the voices that always answer the call, the absolute legends that work a console in the 911 Dispatch Center.

Thank you for being the cohesive unit that you are and thank you for your 24/7/365 service answering the call and sending police, fire and EMS where they are needed.

New episode of Between Here and Help is now live.

This conversation features the Lookout Coalition, a remarkable volunteer program serving the Methow Valley by providing in-home medical guidance, advocacy, and compassionate support for people navigating illness, aging, dementia, and end-of-life transitions.

We talk about the realities of rural healthcare, the importance of trust, and what it means when neighbors truly show up for one another.

If you’ve ever wondered how community care happens beyond clinic walls—or what it takes to help people remain supported at home—we hope you’ll listen.

When every minute matters, we're already on our way!

As rural communities continue to navigate change, one thing remains constant: the importance of having care close to home.

Today, a new episode of Between Here and Help dropped, featuring a conversation with Mike Pruitt and Sherry Thomas, commissioners for Three Rivers Hospital.

Together, they offer a clear and deeply human look at what it means to sustain a rural hospital today—how it’s funded, how decisions are made, and what’s at stake for the people it serves. From the realities of Medicaid changes to the quiet, behind-the-scenes work of keeping care accessible, this conversation brings us closer to understanding the systems we rely on—and the people holding them together.

What stayed with me most is this: again and again, the conversation comes back to people. Not just infrastructure or policy, but neighbors, families, and the shared responsibility of caring for one another.

If you’ve ever wondered how local healthcare really works—or why it matters more than we often realize—I hope you’ll listen.

In this episode of Between Here and Help, Nicole sits down with Salyna Gracie, Laura Schrager, and Donna Baillie of Methow At Home to explore what it really means to age in place in a rural community. The conversation looks at how neighbors came together to create a village-style support network that helps older adults remain safely and meaningfully connected to the place they call home. From volunteer rides and home support to social gatherings, education, and fall prevention, Methow At Home is working to reduce isolation and strengthen community ties so that aging in the Methow Valley can be a time of connection, dignity, and continued belonging.
