What Are PureView Health SPARK Sessions? At PureView Health Center, we believe in empowering our community with the tools and knowledge to lead healthier lives. That’s why we created SPARK Sessions, a free, interactive, educational series designed to inspire and inform. SPARK stands for Support, Prevention, Awareness, Resilience, and Knowledge , which are at the heart of each of these discussions. Each session focuses on a different topic, from managing chronic conditions to improving mental health. SPARK Sessions are led by experts in the field, offering practical advice and actionable tips that you can use in your daily life. The sessions are open to everyone and hosted by the Lewis & Clark Library. You can ask questions, share experiences, and connect with community members. If you’re looking to improve your lifestyle, support a loved one, or learn more about a topic that interests you, PureView's SPARK Sessions are here to help. Join us as we explore ways to build a healthier, happier community—one conversation at a time. SPARK Sessions are held the second Wednesday of every month, beginning in January 2025 and run through May 2025.
