Northeast Delta HSA collaborates with the City of Tallulah to host a 1K/5K race on October 7


NEDHSA Executive Director Dr. Monteic A. Sizer said the agency has “always worked to create opportunities for citizens of Northeast Louisiana to engage in healthy activities and to learn about the interconnectedness of mental and physical health.”

“Fitness plays a vital role in mental health well-being. When you combine proper exercise with a balanced diet, you can expect positive health outcomes,” Dr. Sizer said. “So, when we combine our agency’s physical fitness initiatives with our prosocial mental health and primary healthcare mitigation strategies, we can expect to see overall regional population health improvements.”

Dr. Sizer said data shows that heart disease, obesity, and other physical illnesses are comorbidities of trauma, stress, mental illness, and tobacco use, and added that the agency’s understanding of “this level of comprehensive wellness is the foundation of the agency’s focus towards providing behavioral and primary care services.”

“This type of event further emphasizes NEDHSA’s commitment to holistic health improvements and provides regional citizens valuable information about the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and spiritual health,” Dr. Sizer said.

Tallulah Mayor Charles Finlayson said the city is “extremely pleased with the number of individuals who have signed up to participate in the City of Tallulah Annual Walk/Run in Tallulah honoring Bea Willis and are proud to host this event with our partners NEDHSA and Ameristar Casino.”

“Bea fought a courageous battle against breast cancer before her passing. She was a huge proponent of health and fitness in Tallulah,” Mayor Finlayson said. “Having this race in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month allows us to continue Bea’s goal of emphasizing healthy lifestyle choices in the lives of our community.”

Introducing the Trauma Recovery IOP at Wholeview Wellness


To address the growing need for easily accessible trauma treatment, Wholeview Wellness is offering the Trauma Recovery IOP to patients in the comfort of their homes. Specifically designed to increase access to much needed care, the program eliminates multiple barriers to treatment including travel time, in-office wait time and concerns around privacy and confidentiality. The team uses their proven telehealth model designed to make treatment as convenient and accessible as possible.

“Our team has become very skillful at providing psychological care virtually. We have been able to reach and connect to people struggling with symptoms of trauma who we would never be able to care for in person. We have treated patients living in all five boroughs of NYC, in the capital district, and all the way up to folks in the north country at the border of Canada and everyone in between.” said Dr. Sarah Church, Founder and CEO of Wholeview. The Trauma Recovery IOP program is individualized and consists of at least 6 weekly group therapy sessions and one weekly individual therapy session. Treatment typically lasts between 8 to 12 weeks but can be extended depending on clinical need. In addition to group and individual therapy, participants also have the option of doing couples therapy. Patients are encouraged to call 212-204-8430 or go to www.wholeview.co for information or to schedule an appointment.
