Let’s answer some questions about our fair city.

Each meeting will begin with a meditation about self-care and open sharing will be integrated with learning various self-care practices and discussion. While the topic of grief may come up, this is not a grief support group. People may attend regularly, or as they are able. This is a hybrid group, so participation via zoom is an option. Outside of the group, individual meetings with the facilitator will be available to assess and refer to outside resources available in the community for caregiving and self-care.

Advance Health Care Planning
We can’t predict when a sudden illness or injury could leave us unable to communicate or make decisions. Who would know what kind of medical treatment you want or don’t want? Honoring Your Wishes is a communitywide program that helps you reflect, share, and document your health care preferences (before a crisis) to ensure your family, friends, and health care team know what’s important to you and your wishes are honored. Certified facilitators will guide you through these conversations and help you create or update a written health care directive.

Johnson County Public Health (JCPH) is pleased to announce three new clinics that will offer the services of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in North Liberty and Coralville. WIC is a nutrition education and food assistance program for pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women and children up to five years of age. WIC can help families find other needed resources like doctors, dentists and medical insurance. I-Smile services will also be offered to children and pregnant people at these clinics which includes a dental screening, fluoride varnish, education and referral to a dentist.
JCPH is offering WIC clinics throughout Johnson County to improve the accessibility to services for county residents especially where transportation is a barrier. “We analyzed the addresses of families currently receiving WIC and families who are eligible for Medicaid to identify clusters of where they live and sites for clinics to close these clusters. We anticipate this will help families already on WIC as well as attract families who have never been on WIC due to transportation issues,” said Chuck Dufano, WIC Coordinator for Johnson County.
Clinics will be open monthly from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the following sites in North Liberty and Coralville:
Second Tuesday of the month beginning Oct. 11 North Liberty Community Center 520 W. Cherry Street North Liberty, IA Lower Level – Gerdin Conference Room
Third Thursday of the month beginning Oct. 20 North Liberty Baptist Church 1215 Jordan Street North Liberty, IA Church sanctuary
Fourth Tuesday of the month beginning Oct. 25 Coralville United Methodist Church 806 – 13th Avenue Coralville, Iowa 2nd Level classrooms

Each meeting will begin with a meditation about self-care and open sharing will be integrated with learning various self-care practices and discussion. While the topic of grief may come up, this is not a grief support group. People may attend regularly, or as they are able. This is a hybrid group, so participation via zoom is an option. Outside of the group, individual meetings with the facilitator will be available to assess and refer to outside resources available in the community for caregiving and self-care.

Advance Health Care Planning
We can’t predict when a sudden illness or injury could leave us unable to communicate or make decisions. Who would know what kind of medical treatment you want or don’t want? Honoring Your Wishes is a communitywide program that helps you reflect, share, and document your health care preferences (before a crisis) to ensure your family, friends, and health care team know what’s important to you and your wishes are honored. Certified facilitators will guide you through these conversations and help you create or update a written health care directive.
Caregiver Information and Referral
Help for those seeking individualized information, referral, and support beyond the Caregiving Support Group.
