Community Resources
We are offering of online and in-person opportunities every day to help connect, educate, and engage the community. You do not have to be in services to participate in these meetings.
Many of our groups use Zoom, a video conferencing platform. You can join by using your phone, tablet, or computer. To learn more about how to join Zoom click here
Each group uses a unique link and a secure connection. We have implemented many settings to help create the best virtual experience and connection we can. Please see the notices at the bottom of the page or contact Community.Relations@healthwest.net with any questions.
