So she does all their cultural trainings and goes all over the nation and trains all kinds of people. And we're lucky enough I went to high school with her. Oh really, so I begged, I beg for her to come do a training for our
volunteers with Midwest Street medicine. You know, our goal is to meet people where they're at, and a lot of the people we work with are Native Americans, so I feel it's important for our volunteers to have that cultural knowledge.

Or speak, So anybody that wants to conjoin you this evening and again six thirty pm Union Gospel Mission. Is there a fee to come to this tonight.
No, it's brief, very nice, and it's on the women's side. There's two Union Gospels, so it's seven oh one East eighth Street and Midwest Street. Medicine sign is on the door, okay, so yeah, you have to knock on the door and somebody will let you in.
There you go. Very very cool. Well that is coming up this evening. And again, the young lady that'll be speaking, Tanya Is. I'm reading some of the really cool stuff about her career, Urban Indian Health, lower rural community college, tribal nonprofit schools dedicated to Native youth, and it just sounds like she's done some really cool things. Also, US probation and pre trial services covering seven of the nine
Southcote reservations. So talk about qualifications, and she's got a BA in psychology, and again I think this would be a great event. So if this is something, and she went to high school with.

So what we do is we go out and literally help people where they're at. We go out on the streets, we go to the shelters, we go wherever anybody needs us to be. We have over sixty volunteers of doctors, nurses, mental health, addiction professionals, all kinds of people that come out on Sunday and Monday mornings. We divide up in teams. We pull our wagons full of snacks and water and hats and gloves and whatever weather appropriate things they need, and we go out and do wound care. We help
with medications, we help with whatever they need. I keep saying that, but.
No, that's awesome. Wouldn't it be great if there was no need? But since there is a need, I'm glad that you're doing something to fill that need.
Right.
So, again, in a perfect world, there would be no need, but we don't live in that perfect world. We live in this world. Midwest Street Medicine if you'd like to learn more.
