New vision clinic opens in the International District to provide additional options in health services. Jesse Tam, another grand opening to serve immigrates and others in our local community. The clinic provides neighborhood health for Asian Pacific Islander and immigrant communities in Washington state. ICHS serves primary care in seven clinics located in Seattle, Shoreline and Bellevue and patients speaking over 50 different languages.
A ribbon cutting was held on November 7 in the Chinatown International District to celebrate the new vision clinic. Eye care is an important part of maintaining overall health care with many requiring glasses for children and elder adults.
"The 1,200 square foot clinic, located in a storefront across the plaza from the ICHS medical dental building in International District Village Square, was built with support from a $350,000 grant from the City of Seattle. Design began in October 2016, and the clinic was completed last month. The clinic includes two exam rooms and is expected to handle approximately 900 visits by its second year." http://www.iexaminer.org/2017/11/international-community-health-services-opens-new-vision-clinic/

Winter Driving with Early Snowfall
Early snowfall, Jesse Tam, the week was filled with turn back the clock and a surprise early snow in the northwest. It snowed on November 2, early for the year and created delays at SeaTac International airport with cancelled flights due to fog and de-icing of planes. Seattle had a flurry of the white flakes and Bellevue/greater eastside residences received several inches. Those living in higher elevations had slick road conditions on hilly neighborhoods.
The skiers are hoping to open the ski slopes soon with such an early snow. It's time to get those snow scrapers out of the garage and off the shelves as we plan ahead for the winter months. Time to collect some items to leave in your truck in case of stormy weather or traffic delays.
Here are a few handy items to carry:
