Looking for something warm and comforting on a chilly winter day? 🍲❄️ This hearty soup comes together in just 25 minutes and is perfect for curling up with—whether you enjoy it on its own, alongside a fresh salad, or as a cozy start to your meal.

Prefer your soup thick and hearty or a little more brothy? Use 3 cups of broth for a thicker bowl or 4 cups for a lighter one. Tip: keep a bit extra broth nearby, just in case the pasta soaks up more as it simmers. Stay warm and enjoy! 💙

For some people, the seasonal drop in energy can feel heavier—bringing fatigue, weight changes, and feelings of low self-worth. This experience is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Anyone can be affected, and you’re not alone—SAD is more common among women and those living in northern regions.

🐧❄️ Don't forget to walk like a penguin this winter! Slippery sidewalks and icy parking lots are no joke—but the safest way to stay on your feet is simple: walk like a penguin.

✔️ Point your feet slightly outward
✔️ Take short, flat-footed steps
✔️ Keep your arms out for balance
✔️ Move slowly and stay alert

Whether you’re heading into Whirling Thunder Wellness Center, walking into an appointment in the Primary Care Clinic, or attending a community event, take a moment and waddle wisely. Your safety matters!

In December, our Whirling Thunder Wellness Center's youth volleyball crew had a fantastic time at the NAIA Volleyball Tournament in Sioux City, Iowa! The girls loved cheering for the college teams and soaking up all the excitement.

"It was so inspiring to see volleyball played at such a high level—and meeting our very own board member, Mr. W***y Bass, made the day even more special," says WCHS Sports Coordinator, Rose Springer.

We are proud to sponsor and coordinate several rec teams, encouraging activity at every age. Learn more: https://www.wchs.health/community/wellness-services
