We are so excited about this season and the many things we have planned for you!

If you aspire to keep your health on track – or to get on track – picking up Desert Health^® is a great place to start. In addition to the many educational articles you’ll find on our pages, we have spent the off-season developing events, programs, and partnerships to help educate and inspire (and most of them are free!).

We have a speaker series with Cambria USA, a wellness movie series with the Eisenhower Wellness Institute, and many community and cause-related events in which we are taking part.

Of course, our largest and most inspiring event is the Desert Health Wellness Awards at which we honor those in our community moving health and wellness forward. We have decided to take 2018 off to create a larger event that builds on the success of our first three years and are graciously honored by the support of our 2019 Sponsorship Partners. If your company would like to join us, please let me know; nominations for 2019 will open in the fall of next year.

I hope you took some time off this summer to rest and rejuvenate for the busy season ahead. With all that is going on in our world, we need these getaways more than ever. As you’ll read in the lead story, our vacation to a foreign country followed by a journey back to nature certainly changed my perspective and aura. We won’t be waiting so long to return.

If it’s been a while since you’ve taken a vacation, or world events are holding you back, go forth and journey. Life awaits, and it truly is an incredible gift.

YOU are also a gift, and as we enter our eighth year, we cannot thank you enough for your support and for reading Desert Health^®.

Happy Holidays ~
