Cooper, Cunningham to talk ‘Taboos’ in radio forum

Dr. Paul Cunningham and Bertha Cooper present “Taboos: Let’s Talk About Them,” a free WOW! Working on Wellness Radio Forum from 2-3 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 13, on KSQM 91.5 FM.

This forum will shed light on questions and concerns people may have about their bodies or physical activities but are uncomfortable asking or talking about with a healthcare provider.

“Taboo questions might be about what is happening with our mind and body as we age, how to cope with losing a life partner and all that comes with that loss, or anything else we are not comfortable asking about in public or with family and friends, but we should be able to talk about with someone,” organizers note.

Cunningham is a physician board certified in family medicine, geriatrics and hospice and palliative care. Bertha Cooper is a nurse by profession, the author of “Women, We’re Only Old Once!” and has spent decades in medical leadership positions.

WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic — Sequim’s free clinic, that provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members. Work is supported by more than 70 volunteers, including physicians, other professional health care providers and laypersons, as well as private and public donations from the Sequim community and beyond.

The Basic Urgent Care Clinic is open to patients on Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5 p.m. Individuals interested in supporting the Clinic may call 360-582-0218.
