The Importance of Child Wellness Exams

Jillian emphasizes that a child wellness exam is a comprehensive check-up that ensures your child is physically, emotionally, and developmentally ready for school. These exams are vital for detecting any potential health issues early on and should be conducted annually, starting from a young age. Jillian explains that these exams cover everything from growth and development assessments to important screenings and immunizations.

Essential Vaccinations and Screenings

Vaccinations are a crucial part of keeping your child healthy. Jillian discusses the key vaccines that children need at various stages of their growth, emphasizing that staying up-to-date with immunizations protects not only your child but also the community. She also highlights the importance of vision and hearing tests, which are often overlooked but can significantly impact a child’s ability to learn.

Healthy Habits for a Successful School Year

Developing healthy habits is key to your child's success. Jillian offers practical advice on establishing a consistent sleep routine, which is essential for maintaining energy levels and concentration throughout the school day. She also discusses the importance of regular dental check-ups, healthy eating habits, and limiting screen time to ensure your child’s overall well-being.

Safety Tips and More

Jillian also shares tips on how to keep your child safe when traveling to and from school, as well as the importance of backpack safety to prevent strain and injury. Additionally, she offers insights into establishing good homework and study habits, helping your child manage school-related stress, and encouraging physical activity.

Finding the Right Care

Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.

If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.

Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.

This morning, we will talk with Allison Lipely, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Lead and Exercise Physiologist at Aultman Deuble Heart and Vascular Hospital about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.

In the journey toward better health and well-being, the guidance of a skilled dietitian can be invaluable. Dietitians are trained experts in nutrition who specialize in helping individuals make meaningful changes to their diet and lifestyle to achieve their health goals. Whether you're looking to lose weight, manage a chronic condition, or simply improve your overall well-being, here's how a dietitian can help you along the way:

1. Personalized Nutrition Plans: One of the greatest strengths of working with a dietitian is the personalized approach they offer. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, a dietitian will take the time to understand your unique health needs, preferences, and goals. They will then work with you to develop a tailored nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and supports your objectives.

2. Education and Guidance: Nutrition can be complex, with an overwhelming amount of information available from various sources. A dietitian serves as a trusted source of evidence-based information, cutting through the confusion to provide clear and practical guidance. They can help you understand the principles of healthy eating, decipher food labels, and navigate dining out or grocery shopping with confidence.

3. Behavior Change Support: Changing dietary habits is often easier said than done. A dietitian is skilled in behavior change techniques and can help you overcome barriers and develop strategies for success. Whether it's setting realistic goals, identifying triggers for unhealthy eating habits, or finding ways to stay motivated, a dietitian provides the support and accountability you need to make lasting changes.

4. Managing Chronic Conditions: Many chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and gastrointestinal disorders, can be effectively managed through diet and lifestyle modifications. A dietitian can work alongside your healthcare team to develop a nutrition plan tailored to your specific condition, helping to optimize your health outcomes and quality of life.

5. Holistic Approach to Wellness: Beyond just focusing on food, a dietitian takes a holistic approach to wellness, considering factors such as physical activity, sleep, stress management, and overall lifestyle habits. By addressing these interconnected aspects of health, a dietitian helps you achieve a balanced and sustainable approach to well-being.

In conclusion, the role of a dietitian extends far beyond simply telling you what to eat. They are partners in your journey toward better health, offering personalized guidance, education, and support every step of the way. Whether you're striving to lose weight, manage a chronic condition, or simply adopt healthier habits, a dietitian can empower you to make positive changes that last a lifetime. If you're ready to take control of your health and transform your lifestyle, consider reaching out to a registered dietitian today.

What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period.

Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare.

This morning we are fortunate to talk with Trisha Witts from our local five-star advantage plan, PrimeTime Health Plan. PrimeTime is locally owned and when you call, you will be talking to a neighbor or friend to help you understand your Medicare benefits and options.

In this program you can get answers to the following questions about Medicare Open enrollment:

Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery

Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today, Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guests are Elena Aslanides (As-lan-EE-deez)-Kandis, Suicide, and Community Response Coordinator, and Justina Gorman, Coalition & Community Development Coordinator, both with Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Board.

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May our goal is to raise awareness about mental health. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background, or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love, and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.

we are happy to share this time with Elena and Justina from Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a multi-faceted county behavioral health board comprised of expert professionals, dedicated volunteers, and concerned community leaders.  Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery believes in hope, wellness, and recovery for everyone.
