We are gearing up for our annual "Day at the Capitol" on Thursday 3/22, 8am-4pm, with our Breathe Free North team. We are looking for 1 more adult for our team of 4 volunteers (plus staff) to attend and support our youth. This event is an opportunity for young adults and teens to have discussions with their respective legislators.
During the first half of the day we will be providing training for participants and during the second half we will be meeting with decision makers to discuss raising the tobacco purchase age to 21, higher tobacco tax, and restricting the sale of flavored tobacco. Thank you for considering volunteering for this great cause!
We ask that you meet at NorthPoint and stay all day.

Mission Statement
Actively partnering to create a healthier community. We envision NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center as a highly desirable place for healthcare: Where people of all traditions receive culturally-appropriate human services and clinical health care. Where best practices of prevention, primary care, and complimentary care are infused into an integrated health and human services approach. Where an emphasis on teaching and supporting healthy lifestyle choices weaves NorthPoint into the total fabric of the community. Health education, proper nutrition, and self-reliance are promoted in appealing ways. Service expands beyond the original facility walls and is provided to teens, and single adults, as well as to families. Where the welcoming and caring atmosphere created by the professional health care staff, clinic staff, and human services staff and volunteers exceed patient and client expectations for expertise and adaptability.
