At the Chinook Regional Hospital, I met Roman Catholic Spiritual Care Coordinator Annella Wehlage, who introduced me to Spiritual Health Practitioner John Moerman, as well as Traditional Wellness Coordinator Sylvia Ann Fox and Indigenous Hospital Liaison Suzan Heavyshields of the Indigenous Wellness Core. They explained how they work together and how COVID has changed what they do.
Mayor Spearman asking residents to respect public health orders
Poll
Yes
Mayor Chris Spearman had one message for Lethbridge residents on Wednesday: Comply with all provincial public health orders to control the spread of COVID-19, and help end these most recent lockdowns sooner. “I am happy the premier has stepped up and increased the restrictions in order to get ahead of this,” Spearman stated to reporters. “We need to make sure everybody in the community is supporting the message, everybody is doing the best they can, and abiding by the health orders in every way possible. Anybody who is not abiding by the health orders, and encouraging others to not abide by the health orders, is really undermining the message, and potentially harming public health.”
