|  Thanks to those of you who joined us at the recent Coming Home to the North Inland Live Well Center (NILWC). For those who weren’t able to attend, here’s a brief recap and some great pics!
Attendees visited our partner resource booths including: Live Well San Diego, San Diego County Credit Union, County of San Diego Employee Resource Groups, OASIS and County Registrar of Voters.  The newest County Board of Supervisor Kristin Gaspar kicked off the program, welcomed attendees to the NILWC and discussed one of her priorities as Supervisor: addressing homelessness in the region.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Nick Yphantides, shared his personal journey to “Living Well.” Today, as the Chief Medical Officer for the County of San Diego, Dr. Nick has come clean about his past. As he works to promote the county’s Live Well San Diego initiative, Yphantides is a living example for many county residents who are overweight or obese.  In 2001, Dr. Nick weighed close to 500 pounds. He made a decision to lose weight, mainly through exercise and eating healthy. He did this while on yearlong cross country trek visiting all 30 Major League baseball ballparks. Baseball isn’t Dr. Nick’s only passion; his personal passion and mission is to “Prevent the Preventable.” His story lays the foundation for the great work accomplished by the County’s Live Well San Diego initiative.
