Through the most recent global pandemic many have started to think about public health in new ways. What does it mean to be healthy? How do we as a society promote health in our community? In this heritage invitational exhibit we have asked museums and community organizations throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley to share an artifact and its history to help us piece together the story of what it has meant to be healthy in the past and how that has changed over time.
