Have you ever felt stuck in a pattern of negative thinking?

It can be tempting to tell yourself, “Everything will be OK,” and hope that fixes it. But real mental wellness often starts with more realistic thinking, learning how to notice unhelpful thoughts and respond to them in a healthier, more balanced way.

Join Cady Horning, LICSW, for our next Bite Size Conversation – Your Mental Health event as we talk through negative thought patterns, realistic thinking, and practical ways to support your mental health.

EMS is essential to our communities.

EMS Manager Chad Olson recently shared the challenges many EMS agencies are facing, especially in rural areas. EMS is both healthcare and public safety, but it is not classified as an essential service. That limits access to funding opportunities that other public safety agencies may receive.

With limited reimbursement, rising ambulance costs, and funding gaps, it is harder for agencies to keep ambulances staffed, fueled, and ready to respond.

When someone calls 911, they expect an ambulance to be there. Supporting EMS helps protect that response for our families, neighbors, and communities.

You can help support the Astera Health EMS team by signing up for the 2nd Annual Ambulance Pull during Wadena’s June Jubilee Days!

Event details:
Saturday, June 13
7:30 p.m. (after the parade)
