A farewell to Shaun “Doug Huggala” Osburn
Shaun has been key to growing St. Anthony’s online presence, and evidence of his professionalism, commitment to worthy causes, and serious Photoshop chops can be found throughout this website and blog. We will certainly miss having Shaun as our webmaster, but not as much as we’ll miss having him as a co-worker, team member, and friend. Thank you, Shaun, and best of luck!
Tenderloin Walking Group
Even low levels of activity, can reduce blood pressure, and improve cardiovascular fitness and overall health. The Walking Group at St. Anthony’s Free Medical Clinic has experienced the benefits of low to moderate intensity exercise first hand. Every Friday at 10:00 a.m. the Walking Group, led by Carolina Flamenco, convenes at the Clinic and heads out for a 60-90 minute walk. These walks provide participants, many of whom are diabetic, not only with much-needed exercise and stress relief, but also with a chance to socialize in a relaxed environment, a chance to get out of the neighborhood and see other parts of the city, and to reconnect with the natural environment in the city’s parks.

Volunteering at St. Anthony’s Dining Room
Sean Chester, a summer intern who spent a lot of time volunteering in the Dining Room as well as some of St. Anthony’s other programs, remembers “my work in the Dining Room included being a bus boy, serving food, directing servers, and eating food. Among all the work and action, I made an infinite amount of friends that inspire me, believe in me, and respect me. I soaked up the experience, embraced the memories, and had such an amazing time.”
