important as a senior to regularly see a family health team that you trust and are comfortable with.
Aging brings increased health issues and it becomes very important that you take charge of your
health. Careful monitoring by you and your health team will help you make changes needed to
stay healthy. It is also important to have all the tests and screenings your health team
recommends. Maintaining a close, open relationship with your health team will bring you peace of

Did you know? Already one of the most common cancers in the world, the incidence of skin
cancer is on the rise. It has been estimated that nearly half of those who live to age 65 will
develop skin cancer at least once. Luckily, it’s one of the most curable forms of cancer – but early
detection is the key. Keep an eye on your skin and talk to your doctor if you see any suspicious
changes in your skin, new growths, sores that won’t heal or changes in a lump or mole.

MEDICAL CARE
Dietitian
Registered Dietitian,
Contact: Jennifer Allan, RD
1005 Medical Centre Rd Sharbot Lake ON K0H 2P0
Phone: 613-279-3312
Service Information: A Registered Dietitian (RD) is
a trained food and nutrition expert who:
-Provides personalized education and support on
disease management, weight management, label
reading, meal planning and general nutrition.
-Works with other health care professionals at the
SLFHT to manage nutrition for health promotion,
disease prevention and treatment of acute and chronic
disease.
-The services of the RD are available to all patients of
Sharbot Lake Family Health Team and we continue to
accept new patients.
-Self -referrals are accepted.
Did you know? Dartmouth Medical
School researchers discovered that
test subjects who took calcium
regularly and faithfully for 4 years had a
36% reduction in the development of
new pre-cancerous colon polyps even
five years after the study ended. We
all know that milk is a primary source of
calcium. Three eight ounce glasses of
fat-free milk, along with an 8oz. serving
of yogurt or a 2-3oz serving of low fat
cheese consumed daily provides the
same calcium intake as that used in the
study. Check with your dietitian.
Did you know? High Fibre = Less Cancer. You should eat dark not white? White bread has a
high glycemic index, which means that it quickly raises your blood sugar. The same can be said
of regular pasta, potatoes, white rice and sugary treats. If these are your choice, you may run a
higher risk of colorectal cancer than persons who regularly eat low-glycemic-load foods, such as
whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, brown rice and whole grain breads. A diet high in fibre and
low in sugar will be amazingly helpful in weight control also.
Did you know? A small amount of unsaturated fat every day is a healthy and natural part of a
proper diet. Two to three tbsp.. of oils such as canola, olive or soy will satisfy your body’s need for
oil and may even help you to develop your good cholesterol, while lowering the bad stuff. Nonhydrogenated margarine, salad dressings or mayonnaise containing these oils are also good
choices. Avoid butter, lard, hard shortening and hard margarines.

MEDICAL CARE
Nurse Practitioner
Nurse Practitioner
Contact: Brenda Bonner
Phone: 613-279-2100
Cost: The services of the Nurse Practitioner are available to all patients of Sharbot Lake Family Health
Team and we continue to accept new patients.
Service Information: A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced university
education who provides personalized, quality health care to patients. Ontario nurse practitioners provide
a full range of health care services to individuals, families and communities in a variety of settings
including hospitals and community based clinics in cities and smaller towns in Ontario. Nurse
Practitioners work in partnership with physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to keep
you, your family, and your community well. As a member of the health care team, Nurse Practitioners
offer a variety of health care services including the ability to:
 Diagnose and treat illness and /or injuries
 Perform physical checkups
 Order and interpret diagnostic tests
 Write prescriptions
Did you know? It might be better to
 Provide counselling and education
schedule your appointments to
 Provide supportive care during illness
avoid Mondays and the days
 Provide treatment and/or procedures
following holidays when the doctors
 Make referrals to family physicians, specialists and
are in greatest demand. By doing
other health providers
this, you may spend less time in the
waiting room.
Did you know? You should tell your team of health care professionals about all the medicines
you take, including prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, such as pain relievers,
antacids, cold medicines, and laxatives. Don't forget to include eye drops, dietary supplements,
vitamins, herbals, and topical medicines, such as creams and ointments.

MEDICAL CARE
Physicians
Physicians
Contact: Dr Peter Bell, Dr. Piotr Oglaza
1005 Medical Centre Rd
Phone: 613-279-2100
Service Information: Family or primary care physicians provide comprehensive care to individuals
within the context of their family and community. They work collaboratively with other health
professionals to provide care that includes health promotion and illness prevention as well as diagnosis
and treatment of disease. Service is available to any patient of the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team
and we continue to accept new patients.
Did you know? If you aren’t sure about your doctors’ information or instructions, you should ask
questions. Doctors may use technical language that is not familiar to you. Ask them kindly to
explain what they mean and to give you examples. Maybe they could write it down or give you
additional literature, if necessary. They usually have many brochures in their office that will help
explain more about the condition discussed. If you often have trouble understanding or
remembering, take a family member or friend along to your appointments.
Did you know? If you are feeling stressed, you can calm yourself with a breathing and
relaxation technique. Sitting quietly in a chair, with your hands face down on your legs, begin to
focus on your breathing. You can sit still and focus or rock slowly back and forth, breathing in
time with the rocking motion (about ten times). Then, for five breaths think about your feet and
feel them relax. Then, for five breaths think about your legs and feel them relax. Then, for five
breaths think about your torso and relax. Then, do the same for arms, shoulders, neck and head
and feel them relax. Sit still for a few more minutes when you're done breathing and relaxing.
With practice, the body soon becomes better able to relax. Joining a Tai Chi class can help
make routine a habit.

MEDICAL CARE
Registered Nurse
Registered Nurse,
Contact: Cathy Fox RN
Phone: 613-279-2100
Service Information: Service is available to all
patients of Sharbot Lake Family Health Team.
.Registered Nurses (RNs) provide treatment,
education, advice and emotional support to
patients and their family members. RNs record
medical histories and symptoms, perform
diagnostic tests and assist with patient follow-up
and rehabilitation. RNs teach patients and their
families how to manage their illness or injury.
They explain post-treatment home care needs,
diet, nutrition, and exercise programs, and selfadministration of medication and physical
therapy.
-RNs also provide general health screening,
immunization clinics and flu clinics as well as
well baby checkups, INRs.
-Services RNs can provide include:

MEDICAL CARE
Registered Nurse Diabetic Educator
Registered Nurse Diabetic Educator
Contact: Rita Fairweather, RND
Phone: 613-279-2100
Service Information: The services of the RND are
available to anyone living in the Sharbot Lake region.
A Registered Nurse Diabetic Educator (RND):
 Assesses, monitors and evaluates individual patient
needs and develops diabetes management plans to
ensure successful outcomes
 Provides individualized education and care to patients
and their families about how to effectively manage
diabetes
 Teaches patients the skills necessary in self-care
management of diabetes
 Focuses on diabetes prevention, early detection and
screening
 Works collaboratively with physicians, registered
dietitian and other team members to provide complete
care for patients
.
Did you know? It is a myth that
diabetics must avoid sugar at all
costs, but what they must do for their
occasional treat is to plan properly
and make sure that the treat or
dessert is part of a healthy plan or
combined with exercise.
Did you know? You should get a
good night’s sleep. Sleep plays an
important role in regulating hormone,
blood glucose, and cardiovascular
balance and function. It decreases
heart rate and blood pressure. Over
the last 50 years we have tended
towards shorter sleep duration,
probably due to work and social
pressures. This trend coincides with
an increase in cases of Type 2
diabetes and obesity.
Did you know? Both diabetes and alzheimer’s disease share many risk factors, including age,
gender, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Diets high in fat, especially trans
and saturated fats can negatively affect your ‘brain power’. Diets high in vegetables, fruits, grains
and fish are connected to better reasoning and memory. People with diabetes are at risk of
memory loss after eating unhealthy meals.

MEDICAL CARE
Respiratory Therapist
Respiratory Therapist
Contact: Sue Deveau, Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)/Certified Respiratory Educator (CRE)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
1005 Medical Centre Rd Box 70 Sharbot Lake ON K0H 2P0
Phone: 613-279-2100
Service information: Respiratory therapists (RRTs) evaluate, treat, and care for patients with breathing
or other cardiopulmonary disorders. Practicing under the direction of a physician or nurse practitioner,
respiratory therapists assume primary responsibility for recommending respiratory care, therapeutic
treatments and diagnostic procedures.
-RRTs, acting as Certified Respiratory Educators and specializing in the treatment of Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), perform a patient respiratory assessment, review their medical
history and help determine what combination of medication, exercise, and therapy as well as education
and COPD Action Plan that can improve a patient’s condition.
-RRTs use specialized tools in order to measure lung capacity and oxygen saturation. They analyze
blood gases in order to help determine the extent of a patient’s breathing capacity.
Did you know? For those with COPD, exercise is an important part of life. Including simple
stretching and breathing exercises or a walk into your daily life will help you maintain your
physical and emotional well-being. There are many benefits, because exercise:
 Helps you use oxygen more efficiently by strengthening the muscles you use for breathing as
well as your other muscles.
 Helps you maintain or lose weight. Exercise helps you control your weight, making it easier to
breathe.
 Improves your mood: Exercise is associated with relieving depression and helps you relax.
 Improves your sleep: If you sleep better at night, you will have more energy during the day.
Exercise helps all of us sleep better.

DENTAL CARE
Dentist
Sharbot Lake Dental Office Dr. R.D. Dale
Contact: Sandy Robertson
P.O. Box 246 Sharbot Lake ON K0H 2P0
Phone: 613-279-2665
Hours: Monday to Thursday 8:30am to 5:00pm
Cost: varies depending on service
Service Information: This service is a general
dental practice.
Did you know? There is mounting
scientific evidence that suggests a link
between poor oral health and serious
medical conditions. Oral infections
can cause blood sugar to rise and
make diabetes harder to control.
Studies point to a relationship
between poor oral health and heart
and blood vessel disease. Bacteria in
infected gums can enter the blood
stream, attach to blood vessels and
cause clots, which aggravate high
blood pressure and increase the
chances of heart attack and stroke.
Did you know? As you age, your
fillings and crowns also age, and your
body produces less saliva. Saliva helps
prevent decay by neutralizing acids and
washing away leftover food in your
mouth.
Did you know? Dry mouth is caused when the salivary glands don’t produce enough saliva. It
can be very uncomfortable and increases the risk of developing cavities and gum disease. Dry
mouth is a common side effect of many medications and can be a symptom of some conditions
and diseases. For those suffering from dry mouth, sipping water frequently, chewing gum or
sucking on ice chips and sugar free candy may help. There are also over the counter saliva
substitutes available at drug stores, which may help. Using a fluoride rinse can help reduce
cavities for those suffering with dry mouth, as well as others.

Our pharmacist is a Certified Geriatric
Pharmacist specializing in the safe and effective

Did you know? You should always
remember to tell the doctor or
pharmacist the names of prescribed
drugs, but it is also important to
mention non-prescription over the
counter drugs and nutrition
supplements. They too may affect
symptoms or cause reactions.
Did you know? If you have trouble
swallowing tablets, ask your doctor or
pharmacist for ideas. There may be a
liquid medicine you could use instead.
You may be able to crush your tablets,
but don’t break, crush, or chew tablets
without first asking your health care
professional.
Did you know? If you are taking
aspirin (plain, baby or enteric coated)
for heart problems, you SHOULD NOT
take ibuprofen or Advil as a pain
medication. Ibuprofen counteracts the
effects of aspirin for blood-thinning
therapy for heart patients.
Did you know? Be sure to talk with your pharmacist when you pick up any prescription. This
allows an additional opportunity to uncover a mistake that may have occurred when filling your
prescription. It also allows you an opportunity to ask questions about your medicine and to make
sure you understand the directions for taking it. Your pharmacist is a helpful source of information
and can give valuable advice about prescriptions, herbals, and over-the-counter medicines.
10
ALTERNATIVE/COMPLEMENTARY CARE
Alternative and complementary care, also commonly known as complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM), alternative health care or holistic medicine, includes any healing practice that does not fall
within the field of conventional medicine. It is often based on historical or cultural traditions, rather
than on scientific evidence. In Canada, as in other developed countries, the use of alternative health care
is on the rise. Alternative and complementary health care often focuses on 'whole person health'.

Did you know? Laughter may sometimes actually be the best medicine. Studies show that
laughter relaxes the body, boosts the immune system, makes us feel good and protects the
heart. It can even provide a workout for you equal to that of a rowing machine, as research has
shown that laughing 100 times is equal to 10 – 15 minutes of strong exercise. By releasing
endorphins into the body, laughter reduces several stress hormones. It also releases T-cells that
help repair the immune system, B- cells that assist in creating disease-destroying antibodies and
Gamma-interferon, a disease-fighting protein.

Location: mobile
Hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays
Cost: Treatments $1/min for 20 to 60 min. appts.
Service Information: I have been studying energy
work and healing for 12+years. I first completed a
degree in Biology. I combined my energy work
and biology work in Brennan Healing Science, a
4-year program of study and application. I teach an
approach to healing that helps to clarify what your
patterns and their results are on your health. It’s
an empowering, life-changing approach that helps
change cycles of ill health, and provides new
choices.
Did you know? The word Reiki comes
from Rei which means "God's Wisdom” or
“the Higher Power", and Ki which means "life
force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually
guided life force energy." Reiki is a technique
for stress reduction and relaxation that also
promotes healing. It works in conjunction
with all other medical or therapeutic
techniques to relieve side effects and
promote recovery. It is administered by
"laying on hands" and is based on the idea
that a greater amount of life force energy
flows through us. If one's energy level is low,
then we are more likely to get sick or feel
stress, and if it is high, we are more capable
of being happy and healthy.
Reiki treats the whole person including body,
emotions, mind and spirit creating many
beneficial effects that include relaxation and
feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of
spiritual healing with a very long history.

Did you know? Frailty and risk of
falls is one of the scariest parts of
aging. Falls account for more than
70 % of major injury hospitalizations
for seniors. The risk of falls
increases dramatically after the age
of 65 with a peak period of risk at 72
years of age for men and 86 for
women. Improve your balance now
in order to prevent falls in the future.
If you can’t stand on one foot with
your eyes closed, you’re at an
elevated risk of taking a tumble.
Exercise and safety practices
especially in the kitchen, bathroom
and on the stairs will help lower the
risk. Tai Chi, yoga and posture
exercises help you gain confidence
with balance.

Did you know? Pole Walking (also known as Nordic
Walking) is good for everyone from the casual walker to
the athletic walker, especially seniors. Even if you're
overweight or elderly, this is great exercise because it is
low-impact, safe and you can go at your own pace. Pole
Walking helps with:
 Increased balance - four legs are better than two,
with the poles offering bilateral stability.
 Straighter posture - holding the poles helps you
walk with a straighter back.
 Less impact - easier on the joints. The use of poles
decreases the impact of weight bearing stress to
your spine, hips and legs.
 Muscle strengthener - uses 90% of your muscles.
 Great calorie burner - burns 48% more calories than
normal walking, as the added use of the upper body
increases the amount of calories burned.
 Effective weight loss - low impact, yet higher
intensity workout with 30 minutes of Pole Walking
equaling 50 minutes of regular walking!..
 Telescopic – most easily adjust to any height and
compact for transporting or storing.

Did you know? Arthritis becomes more common as you age because of the wear and tear on
the cartilage between your bones and joints, but age itself does not cause arthritis. (Even young
people can suffer from premature bone and disc disease.) However, no matter your age, you can
help yourself by losing weight, wearing comfortable, supportive shoes and adopting a routine of
low-impact exercises to help keep yourself flexible. A study found that women who exercised
once every 2 weeks for 20 minutes were less likely to develop arthritis of the knee, most common
in women who don’t exercise.

Did you know? Walking is considered one of the very best exercises for people of any age. It is
particularly appropriate for seniors who need regular low-impact exercise and the benefit of fresh
air and sunshine. Walking clubs are groups of people who get together and walk for exercise and
socializing. Some walking clubs focus on a particular type of fitness walking, however most clubs
are casual local groups that gather for friendship and exercise. Our trails system provides an
excellent opportunity for nature walks with friends or a solitary stroll to commune with your inner
self.
Did you know? Active people are 40% less likely to have “silent strokes” which raise the risk of
developing dementia, impaired mobility and major strokes.
Research shows that for the elderly, exercise is a protective factor against cognitive decline. Even
walking as much as three or four times a week can show improved or stable mental activity.

Did you know? BMI (Body Mass
Index) is a useful tool for measuring
obesity. It calculates the amount of
body fat a person is carrying, relative to
their height. The higher your BMI, it
assumes the higher your body fat and
that puts you at increased risk for heart
disease, high blood pressure, type 2
diabetes, gallstones, breathing
problems, and certain cancers. Talk to
a dietitian if you feel you should have a
better BMI.
Did you know? It is impossible to
overstate the importance of including
fruit and vegetables in your diet.
People who eat more vegetables are
less likely to gain weight! Each
vegetable has its own unique package
of health-protective nutrients and plant
compounds. Eating a wide variety of
brightly coloured fruits and vegetables
can help reduce your risk of cancer,
heart disease and stroke. If you can’t
get fresh products, the nutritional value
of canned or frozen products will serve
as well.
Did you know? Eating certain foods can slow the signs of aging by keeping arteries clearer, soft
and elastic, promoting brain function and providing important nutrients to the main organs of the
body. A healthy inside will show a healthy outside in attitude, appearance and everyday activity.

Service Information: This service provides assistance
to those who are dealing with the stresses of care
giving.
Did you know? Often caregivers
become so busy taking care of
others that they tend to forget to
take care of themselves. This can
result in stress, anxiety, frustration
and exhaustion, which may become
"Caregiver Burnout." The best way
to avoid Caregiver Burnout is to set
aside time and give yourself a
break. If you are experiencing
Burnout or feel like you are about to
develop this, don’t be scared, you
are NOT alone. There are respite
services available to take over the
care while you give yourself a much
deserved break. Then you can
return refreshed and able to resume
the care.

day without assistance. Their caregivers also benefit from
this much needed respite time.
Volunteers are welcome, please call to apply.
Did you know? Studies have
shown that those seniors with more
social interactions have a slower
rate of memory decline, and social
interaction might help ward off
chronic illness and extend life
expectancy.
Did you know? It is unrealistic to
expect seniors who have been
independent and self-sufficient all
their lives, to suddenly have a
desire to spend time in a senior
citizen center, join activities, and
take part in local opportunities. It
may take a time of transition
before she/he feels ready for
these new environments.
Encourage participation, but don’t
pressure.

increase your enjoyment of life, but
it is important not to over-commit.

9:00am to 4:30pm, appointments are suggested
Cost: None
Service Information: The services of the
Alzheimer Society are available, free of charge,
to those living with dementia, their families,
friends and care partners as well as service
providers and the community.
The services include:
 Education and training programs for
families/caregivers/service providers
 Family Support Groups
 Support groups for individuals living with
dementia
 Individual support for families & caregivers
 Resource Centre and Lending Library
 Public and professional education
 Public lectures
 First Link Learning Series programs
 School programs
 Volunteer opportunities
 Public awareness campaigns
Did you know? Dementia
(Alzheimer’s) is NOT a “normal
part of ageing”. Not only is it not
inevitable, but you actually have
some control over whether or not
you develop it. Studies find that
the same risk factors that
contribute to heart disease – high
blood pressure, high cholesterol,
diabetes and obesity, may also
contribute to Alzheimer’s and other
dementias. You should exercise
your body and your brain. Mild
physical exercise and intellectual
stimulation will strengthen both,
increase blood flow, and help to
build brain connections and
improve the health of existing
tissue.
Did you know? If a loved one
becomes forgetful, it could be related
to medication, nutrition, or medical
issues. Don't assume Alzheimer's.

a friend, a family member, a neighbour,
staff of a care facility or a stranger. Elder
abuse can take the form of neglect or
physical, financial, sexual, institutional,
psychological or mental abuse. If you

happening.

things you can’t do.
• Educate yourself on resources
available.
• Encourage the person to seek help.
Be willing to accompany the person.

struggles with literacy and cannot identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute, or
use printed and written materials to manage their own health care. They have trouble finding and
understanding health and safety information. They are more likely to develop illnesses such as
asthma and diabetes, and they are less likely to seek and receive regular health services.

Choir is intended for anyone who enjoys singing
in four part harmony and often a cappella. The
choir repertoire is an eclectic mix of spirituals,
folk, pop and inspirational songs. We present a
Christmas Concert each year and will usually sing
at events when asked. Reading music is not
essential but certainly helpful. There is no
audition. There is no fee to join but we will,
occasionally, ask for money to purchase music.
Did you know? Beyond measurable health benefits, an active social life brings more joy to your
existence. You get a sense of connection with others, a sense of belonging and the rejuvenation of

Did you know? The most persuasive reason for making a Will is what happens if you die without
one, or “intestate”. Choosing your beneficiaries, and the amount and timing of their inheritance, is
removed from your control and is governed by the Succession Law Reform Act. For common law
spouses the consequences of a spouse dying without a Will can be particularly devastating. A
surviving common law spouse does not have the same rights as a married spouse to share in the
deceased’s property. A Will allows you to make provision for your loved ones. Don’t Delay!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteering is healthy. It benefits both society and the volunteer’s own health. Seniors have a
great deal of knowledge and experience to share. By volunteering, seniors become more engaged
in their world and gain health benefits. Until recently, those health benefits were hard to define.
Researchers have found that, compared to other people the same age, active volunteers reported
improvements in mental health, physical functioning, higher self-esteem and more connectivity
with other people. They also seemed to delay the onset of age-related health problems. Some
other benefits include: a lower risk of depression, fewer physical limitations, less decline in health
due to aging and increases in physical activity. Why not check out some of the groups and agencies
included in this directory that would like volunteer help:

Friends of the Aged
Blessed are they who understand
My faltering step and shaking hand
Blessed, who know my ears today
Must strain to hear the things they say.
Blessed are those who seem to know
My eyes are dim and my mind is slow
Blessed are those who look away
When I spilled tea that weary day.
Blessed are they who, with cheery smile
Stopped to chat for a little while
Blessed are they who know the way
To bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are those who never say
“You’ve told that story twice today”
Blessed are they who make it known
That I am loved, respected and not alone.
And blessed are they who will ease the days
Of my journey home, in loving ways.
~Esther Mary Walker
