WHITE CITY, Ore. -- A Southern Oregon employer has decided to bring the doctor's office to it's employee's and their families.
 
For employees at the Amy's Manufacturing Facility, quality health care is now just a few steps away. With a cut of a ribbon, owners and employees officially welcomed Amy's Family Health Center, an on site clinic for crew members.

 
The center opened January 3rd and offers same-day appointments at a convenient location. For some, the concept of an on-site clinic is new, but for others the entire medical care experience is unfamiliar.
 
Some of the services provided include annual physicals and injury treatments. All at a cost of a 5-dollar co pay. The clinic also has bilingual staff at the center.
 
Patients are also offered extended appointments to discuss long-range health and wellness strategies. Owners say this health care facility is set to benefit approximately 700 employees at their White City location.

We screened 294 frozen entrées, accepting only those that came in under 400 calories, had no trans fat, and met nutritionist-approved limits for sodium and saturated fat. We ended up with 21 newly launched single-serve meals. Then over the course of three weeks, we handed out nearly 400 boxes and steam bags and had our crew of lunchtime volunteers nuke and nibble, score, and write detailed reviews. They proclaimed these 13 dishes the tastiest of the bunch.

Speed your recovery after a cold winter run with healthy- and delicious- soups

After a chilly run, few meals are more satisfying than soup. Warm and comforting, "soup provides a big bang for your buck," says sports nutritionist Lisa Dorfman, R.D. "You can get lots of protein, fiber, and carbs for not a lot of calories." Research shows that eating soup before a meal reduces calorie intake during that meal by 20 percent, making it great for weight loss. Whether you want a hearty postrun meal or a satisfying prerun lunch, these soups are easy to make- and savor. Each recipe yields two to three servings and tastes even better as leftovers.
