Learn Why Love Heals at Wellness Seminar July 18, 2025 The Samaritan Center for Health Education is hosting a free wellness seminar, Why Love Heals, on Wednesday, Sept. 10, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. It will be facilitated by Dean Shrock, PhD, who specializes in mind-body-spirit medicine. Shrock’s research with cancer concluded that patients live longer when they feel listened to and supported. Nationally known physician and health advocate Dean Ornish, MD, conducted similar research with heart patients and also concluded that no factor in medicine affects one’s health, and quality and length of life, more than feeling loved and cared for. At this wellness seminar, Shrock will go beyond the importance of lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise and stress management. He will show how love is a healing energy that nurtures the soul, “and when you heal the soul, the body follows,” he said. To reserve your seat for the wellness seminar, email Amy Conner or call her at 541-574-4952. The Samaritan Center for Health Education is located at 740 SW Ninth St. in Newport.
