The event (COVID Betrayal~ A Path Forward) in Spokane on Saturday was great! Two Be Brave WA members gave a heartfelt presentation and a replay with highlights from the event will be available soon.
There were a handful of doctors who spoke at the event in Spokane, including Dr. Richard Amerling, MD (Internal Medicine, Nephrology). Dr. Amerling has over 40 years of experience in the medical field and is on the Chief Medical Board at The Wellness Company (TWC). Please review the TWC website which has an online tele-health service, helpful information, and resources.
