Montana Dragon Boat Festival Renews Commitment to Healthy Living with New Title Sponsor
Dragon boat racing has long been championed by the medical community for its mind-body bene ts. Recognizing those, Kalispell Regional Healthcare Sys- tem has signed on as title sponsor of the Montana Dragon Boat Festival, which returns to Volunteer Park in Lakeside September 10 and 11.
“The Kalispell Regional Healthcare System is committed to promoting a healthy community and active lifestyle, and we’re happy to put that mission into practice by supporting the Montana Dragon Boat Festival that gives people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to engage in healthy activity in a very sup- portive and dynamic setting,” said Tagen Vine, president of Kalispell Regional Healthcare Foundation.
Kalispell Regional Healthcare System is a locally controlled nonpro t organi- zation made up of numerous health and wellness a liates including The Health- Center, Kalispell Regional Medical Cen- ter and North Valley Hospital. Several of its sta and patients have been part of the Montana Dragon Boat Festival since its rst festival in 2012 — including Jour- ney to Wellness and the Save a Sister ini- tiative, a collaboration with North Valley Hospital and the Flathead City-County Health Department providing local breast cancer awareness and services.
“Through the years we’ve had several teams and volunteers from the Kalispell Regional Healthcare System participate in the festival, and now we’re delighted to have their ongoing support as title spon- sor,” said Diane Medler, director of the Kalispell CVB. “The wonderful thing that we all recognize is the special inclu- sive nature of dragon boating. Success in this sport is much more about teamwork than individual strength, and that’s why so many people at varying levels can par- ticipate — whether you’re recovering from an illness and getting back in shape or already a t athlete.”
Dragon boating across North America has a unique following among breast can- cer survivors for its special team-building qualities. Breast cancer survivor teams from across the United States and Canada have attended the Montana Dragon Boat Festival each year. Since its start, Save a Sister has been intimately tied to the Mon- tana Dragon Boat Festival and is an inte- gral part of the festival’s annual Breast Cancer Ceremony, honoring breast can- cer survivors and those who have passed.
“The festival provides a unique plat- form for Save a Sister to share its message of hope and support with local breast can- cer survivors and as part of a global com- munity,” said Vera Smith, a volunteer and board member with the organization. “Paddling with women who have been

through the same experience as you is like a sisterhood. I’m a 20-year breast cancer survivor and the camaraderie of a dragon boat team still provides healing.”

Angel Healing Center is Back
After a 15-year absence, Angel Healing Center is back from Las Vegas with more notoriety and experience. Specializing in ozonated colonics and steams, the center has helped many people realize a much better quality of life. Angel Healing Cen- ter originally started here in Kalispell in 1997.
Ozone started in Germany many years ago and is used in medicine in many coun- tries to treat major pathologies. Angel Healing Center uses it with another nat- ural substance, water, for the purpose of cleansing the body of toxins. It follows the much held belief that if you have per- fect assimilation and perfect elimination you probably have perfect health. There are of course many factors that can a ect this equation, e.g. emotional and physical traumas.
Angel Healing Center cooperates with client’s health practitioners to bring a new level of health by sweeping the body clean of an overload of bad bacteria and fecal waste originating from a poor diet or SAD (Standard American Diet) that is often devoid of important dietary ber and nutrients from mass industrial farming techniques and chemicals as well as food processing and manufacturing utilizing, in many cases, man-made chemicals and other non-food substances and llers.
When the body’s immune system gets a “break” from some of the bad bacteria and candida in the bowel and some of the industrial chemicals, a new sense of well- being can be experienced very quickly in many cases.
Check the website at angelhealing- center.com for the center’s exact address and feel free to call and set up your rst appointment which will include a free consultation.
