Beyond the Checklist: Functional Medicine and Down Syndrome

Come connect with other parents for an encouraging evening on going beyond the typical health checklist for kids with Down syndrome.

Your host, Leah Streich, PA-C, is a functional medicine practitioner and mom of three, including Harper, 11, who has Down syndrome. For 13 years, Leah has helped families fill the gaps in conventional care with practical, lifestyle-forward, evidence-informed tools that support prevention and quality of life.

Together, we'll talk about supporting gut health, the thyroid and nutrients, and how to advocate for your child. You'll leave with a take-home handout, one simple next step, and new friends who get it.

Thursday, November 5th · 530-630PM · DSCNW Office, RSVP

In person or zoom available.

💙💛 Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💛💙

We may be a little late sharing this, but it’s been a BUSY month here at DS Connections NW! 😊

Our Medical Outreach Team kicked off October by hosting an informational table at Deaconess Hospital in Spokane! We loved connecting with hospital staff and community members, sharing information about all the wonderful programs, resources, and opportunities DS Connections NW provides for individuals with Down syndrome and their families throughout the Inland Northwest.

Our stickers, bracelets, and buttons were a big hit! 💙💛 It’s always fun to spread awareness and make new connections along the way!

A huge THANK YOU to Deaconess Hospital for welcoming us and helping us celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month! We’re grateful for the opportunity to share our mission and remind families that they are not alone.

Here’s to a month filled with awareness, acceptance, inclusion, and connection! 💙

Connection is in our name, and together we thrive! 💙💛

⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 DSCNW Office
