As always, our focus is on giving you valuable
information to help you Live Younger Longer
™
.
Inside you’ll find the latest on the ABCs of managing
diabetes and tips for dealing with chronic pain.
Along with this, you’ll also learn about the health
benefits of eating fresh foods, along with a great
summertime recipe.
What we’re especially excited to share with you is this month’s featured topic:
bariatric surgery. Read about how weight-loss surgery can help you achieve
weight
loss, and, when combined with lifestyle changes, how it can help you
get back to optimal health. You’ll also learn from two of our surgeons how
valve surgery evolved. Plus, you’ll learn about the anterior approach to hip
replacement and how it can have you up and walking the same day. You’ll also
learn about managing chronic pain and how our lung health screening program
can be instrumental in earlier detection of lung cancer.
We hope you will find this information as useful and informative as we have
as we all strive to Live Younger Longer.
