“The connections we make when we take a cooking class, have a home visit from a care provider or join a walking group contribute to our sense of well-being. Tillamook County Wellness is about making it possible for people to easily access opportunities for better health and overall quality of life.”

| Marlene Putman, Tillamook County Public Health Administrator
