Health Center Week
Each year in August we recognize the role that community health centers play in healthy communities. This year, the theme for National Health Center Week is: “Celebrating America’s Health Centers: Transforming Health Care in Our Local Communities.” The theme emphasizes the mission of community health centers – to provide a healthcare home to all Americans in need – as well as the importance of continuous preventive and primary care to help reduce health risk and lower the overall cost of healthcare.
Welcome back to school
If you think you know Healdsburg public schools, it’s time to look again. Our schools are moving forward with innovation that I’ve not seen anytime, anywhere, during my 33 years in education.
‘We just loved one another’
Will Campbell, prophet, preacher, writer, civil rights activist, who always maintained a love/hate relationship with the church, recently passed away. Although he called himself a “steeple drop-out”, he never tired of challenging pastors, “to minister to the hurt wherever you find it and live in hope even in the midst of tragedy.” And after all his years of confrontation with injustice and racism, he still spoke of loving our enemies as our sisters and brothers because, “God loves them, and us, anyway.”
