North coast sculptor M.J. Anderson has made a stunning donation of one of her works. "The Heart of the Community" will be displayed in the reception area of the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy in Wheeler. Friends gathered last evening to recognize M.J.'s generous gift, a gift that has led to many more local and Oregon artists donating work for the new Health Center. Join us on Saturday, October 4 at 1:00 pm to celebrate the dedication of the new facility, have a tour and see how the work of so many talented artists makes the Health Center even more attractive for patients and staff.
