And women are talking about our Health Education Program (HER).
We would like to share a few of the comments we have received about our classes and wellness coaching, all part of our Health Education Program.

“COACHING WORKS!! You're worth it. It's so beneficial to learn how to establish, follow through and maintain goals. I have learned how to implement a healthier lifestyle with a 30 min. session once a week. It's amazing how simple it is”.
Wellness coaching client
“I enjoy the foods I eat much more, the pleasantness of the food and the occasion lingers. More important than the food itself though, is the feelings of wellbeing that makes me feel good and satisfied”.
Am I Hungry? participant
“Thank you for being such a great coach! You are very patient, nonjudgmental and you don’t talk too much. What I mean is, you get to the point and leave it to us to ponder, take in, draw our own conclusions relevant to us and our own unique situations without over explaining so the point gets lost in the process”.

Article Excerpt - In the mid-1990s, Dr. Michelle Berlin started hearing murmurs among her medical colleagues of a vaccine for human papillomavirus, or HPV. The topic appeared in medical journals, raising hope for the Portland physician who spends her days treating women with cervical cancer or its precursors. “I hoped it would change my job because I would see fewer women with precancer and cancer of the cervix,” she said. A decade later, Berlin calls it a crucial tool of her trade. She’s transforming her patients into advocates.
