Having a chronic disease can be a challenge. You may need to take medication or avoid certain foods and activities. However, chronic diseases don’t have to control your life. You can frequently slow the progression of a chronic disease and its effects by developing a wellness plan, which often involves exercise.
We know we often recommend exercise. However, there are several good reasons. Countless studies have shown regular exercise can help you in numerous ways.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states exercise can help:
Improve memory and the ability to work through problems.
Control weight.
Strengthen bones and muscles.
Make normal activities easier by increasing stamina, balance and flexibility.
Improve mental health by reducing stress.
Reduce the risk of certain diseases.
Improve sleep.
Even better, you will start to feel some benefits, like stress relief and improved sleep, soon after beginning to exercise.
With so many types of exercise, you should be able to find something you enjoy and is either free or low-cost.
If you are not sure where to start, the National Council on Aging recommends the following exercises for combating diabetes. However, these exercises are also great for people with several other chronic diseases. You can try:
Walking
Dancing
Yoga
Weight training
Tai chi
Swimming
The common factor in these activities is that they will get you up and moving. Most combine moderate muscle-building along with balance and flexibility.
Just as important as exercising is not overdoing it, especially if you’re just starting and have a chronic disease. Before beginning any exercise program, you should consult with your doctor for tips on which exercises you should try, how long you should exercise and other necessary precautions to take.

In the summer and fall, it is fun to have cookouts and make s’mores by a firepit.
Plus, the outdoors is a great place to hang out with friends and family.
What we never want to hear or think about is an accident happening with fire. It could happen to anyone, and we want to ensure everyone is safe while having fun.
To prevent a fire-related accident, the U.S. Fire Administration recommends the following tips for practicing fire safety outdoors:
Use chimneys, outdoor fireplaces and firepits at least 10 feet away from your home or anything that can burn.
Watch children closely when a firepit is in use.
Use a metal screen over wood-burning fires to keep sparks from floating out.
Put out fires before you go inside.
Keep matches and lighters out of children’s sight and reach.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends putting out a fire by slowly moving your hose in a zigzag pattern. After wetting the firepit down, take a shovel and move around the wet embers so the water can soak in. Remember to extinguish the fire before going to bed or anytime you leave the fire unattended.
If there happens to be an accident and someone gets burned, immediately tend to that person. The American Red Cross advises removing any clothing or jewelry not stuck to the burn site, then cooling the burn as soon as possible with clean, cool or lukewarm water for 20 minutes, then leaving the burn uncovered.
If emergency medical service is called and delayed or transport is needed, cover the burn loosely with a clean, sterile dressing or plastic wrap if necessary. You should not use ice or ice water to help with a burn, as ice can cause more damage to the skin.
Some of us often hear the expression, “it’s not if, it’s when,” and we always want to be prepared. These tips are a precaution to prevent an accident from happening and ways to treat a burn until medical help arrives.
Call 911 if the accident is severe and you aren’t able to safely transport the victim to the hospital.

Screening for lung cancer
If you’re at risk for lung cancer, talk to your doctor about a low-dose CT scan. This procedure uses less radiation than a regular-dose scan and takes only a minute to complete. The early detection that this screening exam provides can save lives.
Our entire team wishes you a healthy summer. Your well-being is our priority. We look forward to caring for you and your family whenever you need us.
In good health,

An update from our President and CEO, Matthew J. Perry.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force revised lung cancer screening recommendations in March 2021 to include people who meet all the following requirements:
• Have a 20-cigarette pack-year or more history.
A pack-year is smoking an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for one year. For example, a person could have a 20 pack-year history by smoking one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years.
• Smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years.
• Are between 50 and 80 years old.
