ourwhirl.com® will regularly update this page with health and wellness information, initiatives and policies that affect our mind, body and soul.
We will also feature medical services that are working daily to improve the lives of others, as well as civic leaders who are working towards affordable and available healthcare options for all. Healthcare options for all should be equal to congressional members' luxury healthcare, which is funded by working-class and poor, now even moreso with #TaxCutsAndJobsAct.
