The Kirwin Community Wellness Center project is
underway.
In February 2007 it was decided to try to open a center for
the betterment of the community that would improve our health awareness in
this changing, aging world. Some of the plans underway are for nutritional
counseling to be available to all ages for heart health, diabetes, and other
concerns of our community residents. The Phillips County EMS team have agreed
to partnered with us to teach and give First Aid, CPR training, blood
pressure clinics and other heath education sessions. Also we are focusing on
improving the school children's health education and exercise.
The Post #277 of the American Legion donated the historic American Legion
Hall to us for use as our wellness center. Efforts are being made to
restored and rejuvenated it. It will be a wonderful addition to the our
Kirwin community again.
Through the hard work and time of community individuals,
grants have been submitted and donations have been acquired to accomplish this
project. Now we are waiting in anticipation to hear back.
