Mark Karjalainen, MIH Community Paramedic will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness Radio Forum on Wednesday September 9th at 2:00-3:00 pm on KSQM FM Radio at 91.5 on the radio dial.

This conversation with KSQM FM DJ Olive Martini will answer twelve basic questions plus many questions asked and unasked about how he can interact with you and what you should know and understand going forward. Mark has faithfully served his fellow citizens in Clallam County and the North Olympic Peninsula for more than 20 years. Mark is a fierce advocate for emergency medicine and the co-response model that allows him to expand modern medicine to work with individuals to address perceived insurmountable obstacles to receiving quality care. He will discuss MIH (Mobile Integrated Health), TIP (Treat in Place) options, TAD (Triage to Alternate Destinations) and his Board Membership with the Sequim Free Medical Clinic.
