The Town of Vermilion marked an exciting morning on Thursday, January 23, with the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Sun Integrated Wellness Clinic. Nestled within the Midtown Medical building, this new clinic promises to bring a holistic approach to health and wellness to the community.
The event, graced by several dignitaries, showcased the town’s dedication to fostering growth and supporting new ventures. Among those present were Councillor Robert Snow, Councillor Kevin Martin, Councillor Paul Conlon, Vermilion Alberta Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jyllian Fairholm, and Economic Development Officer Mary Lee Prior. Together, they celebrated this addition to Vermilion’s healthcare landscape and presented a plaque to commemorate the occasion.
Chase Dach, the clinic’s owner and operator, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome. Drawing on a decade of study and practice, Dach brings a unique skill set to the region. As an osteopath, massage therapist, and a student of counseling hypnotherapy (finishing his program by the end of the summer), Dach envisions The Sun Integrated Wellness Clinic as a “one-stop” allied healthcare center. “Once I have fully completed my endeavors, the clinic will integrate modalities like joint mobilization, soft tissue rehabilitation, visceral manipulation, cranial therapy, and counseling hypnotherapy, all with a focus on physical health, mental health, and overall wellbeing,” Dach explained.
Delving into the principles of osteopathy, Dach shared its distinctive approach: “Massage works with the musculoskeletal system, whereas osteopathy involves working directly and indirectly with all the systems in the body, including the visceral organs, nerves, and blood vessels. The idea is that by restoring structure, you can restore function, offering a preventative outlook on disease.”
Dach’s commitment to continuous learning is evident, as he continues to expand his knowledge and refine his expertise. “It’s been a long journey—ten years of study—and I’m still learning,” he said, underscoring his dedication to providing the best possible care for his clients.
As the ceremony concluded, town officials extended their best wishes to Dach and applauded his initiative. The Sun Integrated Wellness Clinic is poised to become a vital resource for Vermilion and surrounding areas, offering innovative solutions for a healthier community.
