A healthy summer: Photos from our community events

August 28, 2026

We are very proud of the work our staff do help keep our communities healthy. This summer has been filled with opportunities for Institute staff to promote health, wellness and access to care for community members at festivals, community spaces, and other gatherings. We were especially happy to welcome so many of our children and families into our health centers for back-to-school wellness visits.

Here are a few pictures from these events:
