"The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving: Even the simplest food is a gift." — Laurie Colwin We're very excited to partner with Southwest Technical College on this new offering from the Puow'wan Program! Come out and get hands-on experience with an expert chef and learn how to make everything from starters to desserts and most things in between. Classes will be limited to 12 participants, and registration for each class will open on the first of the month. Mark your calendars and watch for announcement on Oct. 1. See the flyer for more details.

Patient Appreciation Week is coming up! Schedule an appointment now for the week of Sept. 28 or just plan to stop by for swag or treats (while supplies last) and enter to win a movie theater package for Cedar City, Richfield, and St. George or a dinner & donuts package in Fillmore. See you then!

PROTECT YOURSELF THIS SEASON Getting a flu shot every year is a safe and effective way to help protect yourself from influenza (the flu). While the flu shot is not a 100-percent guarantee that you won't catch the flue, the vaccine can reduce your risk of getting sick, lessen symptoms if you do get the flu, and help prevent serious complications. Flu shots are recommended for most people ages 6 months and older. Common side effects are usually mild and may include soreness at the injection site, fatigue, or a low-grade fever. Talk with your healthcare provider if you have questions about the flu vaccine.
