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 weightloss and, when combined with lifestyle changes,
can help you get back to optimal health. You’ll also learn from one of
our cardiologists about living with heart failure. Plus, you’ll be introduced
to the new primary care providers at our new Redwood Medical Clinic
in Willits. You’ll also learn about sinus surgery, 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.
