The Natural Health Initiative is underway at the Bloomer Hill Free Clinic!

The Natural Health Initiative is a new program at the clinic which strives to decrease patient dependence on prescription medications by encouraging health promoting behaviors and treatments.  Ideally, the NHI will educate patients in lifestyle change and offer natural products that work to correct the cause of their illness and/or provide a safer alternative for disease management. 

Join our efforts to assist individuals in utilizing a natural approach to improve their health!  We have 3 volunteer options:

1. We are actively soliciting reputable nutritional, herbal and homeopathic companies for donations of products and educational materials.  These free products will be offered as preventative medicine and/or disease treatment for the Bloomer Hill Free Clinic patients.  Please send us an email if you would like to help solicit donations.
 

2. We need med students to volunteer as Natural Health Consultants.  The Bloomer Hill Clinic runs one full day every month, normally the first Saturday of the month.  As a Natural Health Consultant you will meet with individual patients, discuss their main health concern and determine the appropriate natural health approach.  When required, you will present your assessment and plan of action to the clinic doctor.  Training will be provided and you will have reference materials available to you while at the clinic.  If you are interested in being a Natural Health Consultant email us.

3.  We need students who have a skill they would like to practice or share with our patients.  Would you like to offer hand or foot massage to our patients while they wait?  Would you like to lead our patients through a guided meditation?  Would you like to teach simple stretches or breathing techniques they can do while waiting?  If you have an idea just let us know by sending us an email.
