I am grateful for the work of our marketing and communications team which allows us to easily share information with one another via our newsletter. I have a couple of things to share:
- Dr. Daily, Dr. Thao, Tom, Liz and I completed the last of 2022’s quarterly onsite visits this week. It was so good to be back in person with all of you and we look forward to continuing these in 2023. We are also grateful for your engagement and the questions asked during these meetings. We will be sharing a summary of the questions and answers in the next week or so.
- Challenges, change and accompanying stress are often unavoidable. One of the most helpful things I have found to help me deal with this everyday stress is a simple breathing exercise. Most of us do not have time during a busy day to devote to lengthy practices or exercises. Fortunately, we only need a moment or two to make a positive difference. Below is an exercise I use frequently with good results. It is called Square or Box Breathing. Give it a try if you are interested! It is simple… you just breathe in specific counts, while visualizing a box:
- Inhale to the count of 4 as you visualize the top edge of a box. Gently hold for a count of 4, as you go down along the right side. Exhale for a count of 4, moving from right to left along the bottom edge. Hold for another count of 4, going up along the left side, back to the top. Repeat for several cycles for a minute or 2.
-
If you’d like to try a guided demonstration, view the video– 1 Minute Box Breathing by Conscious Works on YouTube.
Kind regards,
Laura Waldvogel

MSAW Outreach
The MSAW Outreach team finished their Primary Care season on October 20, 2022. They had a successful season with 540 primary care visits from May through October. Out of those 540 in person visits, 17 were telemedicine. The team went to 22 sites and had 48 missions.

During their last mission in Janesville, WI, the team participated in a professional photo session with Romulo Ueda from Madison, WI. The photo session was part of the Farmworker Justice Grant, "Organizing for Outreach."
Ueda, a Brazilian native, has had an extensive career in photography working with major companies such as Coca Cola, Nestle, Toyota, Fujifilm and Sheraton. Ueda continues his fathers legacy that started over 50 years ago in Brazil. At an early age of 16, Ueda graduated with knowledge and ambition in photography and has dedicated his life to his career.

Take a look at the great work he has done for Family Health La Clinica. These photos will be used for marketing promotional materials as well as for educational purposes. A big Thank You to the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural workers who volunteered to be part of this photo session. | |
