Photo: Back to school fair

Janice McClintic, an office manager at Quincy Community Health Center shows Elizabeth Ramirez, 8, of Quincy a selection of free backpacks during the clinic’s Back To School fair on Thursday, Aug 11, 2016, at Quincy Community Health Center in Quincy, Wash. “I picked one with a flower on it, because that’s the name of my puppy,” said Ramirez. Ramirez, who will start 3rd grade this fall is one of nearly 800 anticipated children who will receive free backpacks from the Clinic after making sure the youngsters are up to date on immunizations and passing physical checkups. The Back to School Health Fair is one of the Quincy Community Health’s activities commemorating National Health Centers Week and the free backpack program will continue through the month. Based on the program’s success in this and prior years, Moses Lake Community Health plans to host a similar one in 2017. (Tyler Tjomsland / The Spokesman-Review)
