6 in 10 Adults Now Get
Physical Activity by Walking
More people are walking but most do not get enough physical activity. Find out
how we can make it easier for people to walk to the places they need and want to go.
Less than half of adults are getting enough physical activity to benefit their health.
One way to get that activity is by walking, which is the most popular form of physical
activity in the U.S. Because walking is possible for most people and does not require
special skills or facilities, it is a way for many people to be more physically active.
Physical activity helps control weight and has benefits beyond weight control.
Physical activity, such as walking, can help improve everyone’s health, even if you
don’t lose weight. People who are physically active live longer and are at lower risk for
heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and some cancers.
How much physical activity do adults and children need?
•Adults need at least 2 ½ hours (150 minutes) a week of physical activity at a moderate effort. This effort is similar to a fast-paced walk.
•Children should get 1 hour a day, every day.
Women and older adults are less likely than men and younger adults to get as
much physical activity as is recommended.
Here are some ways of improving spaces and increasing places for walking to help
more people become physically active. You can support more frequent walking in
your community by:
•Starting a walking group with friends and neighbors.
•Help others walk more safely by driving the speed limit, yielding to people who walk.
•Following safe walking practices such as using crosswalks when crossing streets.
•Participate in local planning efforts to help identify where walking paths or side
walks should be located.
•Working with schools to encourage walking to school.

VOLUME 115 • COMPLIMENTARY
Summer is winding down and it certainly has been a hot
one. But, I am not complaining, I totally enjoy living in paradise, hot or not, I would not wish to live anywhere else. With
fall ahead of us there are many activities happening that are fun
and generate revenue for our local non-profit organizations.
There are three that I would like to share with you so mark
your calendars for all three. Let’s start with the LOCAL
Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County,
who has a plethora of services that are offered to our local
residents free of charge. Support groups, community education & training, project lifesaver, Parkinson exercise & tremble clefs classes, respite care, memory screening, art programs,
community and individual education, speaker’s bureau and a
lending library. Join me on Saturday, November 10th at Riverside Park for our 9th annual “Walk to Remember”. Call
772.563.0505 or visit www.alzpark.org for more information.
All dollars raised stay right here in Indian River County for
our residents, that is you and me.
If you like biking then you want to join in the 2012 “Tour
de Vero” to benefit the Indian River Firefighters Benevolent
Association on Sunday, October 7th at Carrabba’s Italian Grill
in Vero Beach. Choose from a 40, 60, & 88- mile bike ride
with SAG support stations placed strategically along the course.
For more information go to www.verovelo.org or contact John
O’Connor at [email protected] or 772.473.7741
Then there is our LOCAL SafeSpace “Walk a Mile in Her
Shoes”, where REAL MEN STEP UP and slip on the red
stilettos for the 3rd annual walk. The walk takes place on
Saturday, October 27th at Indian River Medical Center in
Vero Beach, October 6th in downtown Stuart, and October
13th at Tradition in Port St. Lucie. For more information call
772.223.2399 or visit www.safespacefl.org.
Enjoy this issue of Heartbeat and should you have a story that
you would like to submit for consideration please email me at
[email protected] or telephone 772.473.6107. And
don’t forget to tune into “Cindy’s Health Beat & Where to Eat”
Saturday mornings from 11am to noon on WTTB 1490am.
Once again, Dr. Paul V. Minotty and
Dr. Stephen M. Tate, board certified
ophthalmologists and cataract surgeons
have brought another dimension to
New Vision Eye Center. Together with
Dr. Roger J. Meyer and Dr. David J.
O’Brien, New Vision continues to have
“new innovative visions” for their center, always striving to bring the best of
eye care to their patients and our area.
Being the first and only practice on the
Treasure Coast to offer Laser Cataract
Surgery is what sets them apart from others.
There are only 70 LenSx© Lasers in
the country and only 12 in the state of
Florida. How fortunate we are that Dr.
Minotty has brought it to their Cataract
Institute at New Vision Eye Center.
When I sat down to discuss this new
technology with Dr. Minotty his first
comment was “This is truly a milestone…
the most exciting thing in 40 years to
happen in cataract surgery. We now have a
way to offer more predictable outcomes.”
The LenSx© laser is an advanced, precision based technology that operates with
unmatched precision and computer-control
to further customize the procedure to
your eye. Dr. Stephen Tate agreed, and
stated that “by adding computer aided
precision to the key steps of cataract
surgery, the LenSx© Laser ensures the
highest-precision surgical incisions.” As
Dr. Minotty explains, “the laser provides
a more precise circular incision around
the cataract, improving the accuracy during
placement of the intraocular lens implant,
and leads to a greater predictability for
patient outcomes. The laser pre-softens
the cataract, allowing surgeons to minimize
the use of ultrasound energy to remove the
cataract lens. This allows for faster recovery.”
He goes on to tell me, “Astigmatism
correction can be done simultaneously
during cataract surgery using the LenSx©
Laser system.”
Dr. Minotty conducted extensive investigation into the various lasers from
other companies, however the LenSx©
performance and precision was by far the
best. The professional staff at the Cataract Institute at New Vision attended
extensive training to become certified
with the LenSx©.
When I asked Dr. Minotty, “how is it
that you are always the first to bring in
new technology to the Treasure Coast?”,
he humbly stated that a progressive,
bright surgeon, Dr. Stephen M. Tate, is
what makes the difference.

Joint replacement surgery gives
patients a new lease on life
Orthopedic surgeon Carmen D. Crofoot,
MD, doesn’t want joint pain to slow
anyone down. If you’ve been struggling
with hip or knee pain and are ready to
get back to life, it may be time contact
Dr. Crofoot and learn about total joint
replacement.
After earning her medical degree from
the Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia,
Dr. Crofoot completed a residency in
orthopedic surgery at Albert Einstein
Medical Center and a fellowship in
adult reconstruction at the University of
Utah Orthopedic Center. Board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons, Dr. Crofoot practiced
in Maine for several years before joining the medical staff at Sebastian River
Medical Center.
“Growing up, I always knew I was going
to be a doctor,” she said. “I played sports
and I wanted to help people, so I was drawn
to orthopedics. During medical school,
I saw a total knee replacement procedure and that really reaffirmed my
desire to go into orthopedic surgery. Plus, the bedside manner of
some of the orthopedic doctors
I knew wasn’t as endearing
as I would have liked, and I
thought I could do better.”
Dr. Crofoot says she
enjoys solving medical
issues instead of managing symptoms. “In
medicine, orthopedics is
one of the few specialties
where you can actually fix a
problem long term.”
8
And although the idea of surgery can
be overwhelming, joint replacement can
get you back to doing the things you love,
the things that make life worth living.
“I try conservative, non-operative approaches first, but if those don’t work,
joint replacement surgery really is the
best option,” said Dr. Crofoot. “When a
joint is worn out and you become more
and more immobile, your lifestyle and
quality of life is affected. The minute
you stop being active, your overall health
SRMC Comprehensive
Orthopedic Center focuses
on conditions and diseases of
the musculoskeletal system,
which includes bones, joints,
ligaments, tendons, muscles
and nerves. Sebastian River
Medical Center’s orthopedic
specialists handle everything
from a torn muscle or broken
bone to total joint replacement
and minimally invasive surgery.

is impacted. Joint replacement surgery is
a big surgery, but it can really change a patient’s quality of life. I always tell people,
‘When you cry uncle, when you’ve tried
everything else, when you’ve had enough
of the pain, you’re ready.’”
According to Dr. Crofoot, there are
some exciting innovations in joint replacement surgery. For example, some
inserts are now being produced with
Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant which
prevents the oxidative degradation of the
plastic used in replacement joints. Other
changes involve post-operative recovery
and pain management techniques.
“The quicker you get up , the quicker
you start moving around, the quicker
Kirk Maes, MD
your overall recovery,” said Dr. Crofoot.
“That’s why we implement pain medication before the surgery even begins. This
way, patients don’t experience as much
pain when they wake up, which allows
them to move around sooner and start
the recovery process.”
Dr. Crofoot has joined Kirk Maes,
MD, at his orthopedic and sports medicine practice in Sebastian. “Not only am
I extremely happy to be working alongside one of the Treasure Coast’s most
respected orthopedic surgeons, I’m very
excited about my move to Florida,” she
said. “After spending so many years in
Maine, I’m really looking forward to
warmer winters.”
The addition of Dr. Crofoot to the Sebastian River Medical Center staff is just another
way we’re setting the standard for orthopedic care. For more information or to make an

Local Alzheimer & Parkinson Association
of Indian River County 9TH Annual
Walk to Remember... November 10, 2012
We are truly fortunate to have such an active and supportive Alzheimer & Parkinson Association in Indian River County, which is a unique nonprofit organization that serves only our local community and is not an affiliate of a national
organization.
Because Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County is centered
in our community, it has developed local programs that address our community’s
needs to serve families and clients with disorders affecting memory and movement by promoting quality of life and choice through advocacy, support, empowerment, education and research connections.
Local residents are assisted through SUPPORT GROUPS, COMMUNITY
EDUCATION & TRAINING, PROJECT LIFESAVER, PARKINSON
EXERCISE & TREMBLE CLEFS CLASSES, RESPITE CARE, MEMORY
SCREENING, ART PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUAL
EDUCATION, SPEAKER’S BUREAU and a LENDING LIBRARY.
Your support is important because community and businesses know
how important it is to keep our local dollars here in Indian River County
helping our local residents.
The Walk to Remember in NOVEMBER = ALL DOLLARS STAY IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY; the national Alzheimer Association walk = dollars
go to national programs and 30 other Florida counties.
The LOCAL WALK TO REMEMBER is the Alzheimer & Parkinson
Association’s largest fund raising event of the year and the support of our
sponsors and the nearly 900 individuals that comprise our teams and individuals who participate in the walk are essential to helping us raise much
needed funding to support the unique programs that are provided right
here in our community.
Won’t you join in the LOCAL WALK TO REMEMBER NOVEMBER
10TH? Please contact the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian
River County at 772.563.0505 or visit [email protected] and remember
the walk in October is not affiliated with our LOCAL organization.

Grace Rehabilitation Center
of Vero Beach (formerly Royal
Palm Healthcare Rehabilitation Center) offers patients
and caregivers an opportunity
Doris Tropf, Kano & Ken Tropf,
standing Louie Tropf
to share their experience at
Grace with comment cards and employee recognition cards
at the reception desk. Below is an employee testimonial from
Mrs. Tropf regarding the care of her husband, Ken…..
When I first picked up this card and read it, I thought “oh yeah, right pick
out an employee with those attributes”…it just happens to describe the whole
place and ALL the employees. Where do I start, from the little “bouncy”, sweet,
full of personality Heather to Allen, who not only keeps the floors clean enough
to eat off of, but is as sweet as any man could be. The wonderful, competent
nurses, aides, and I could go on and on. But, then, I looked at it again…
Compassion…Leadership…Attitude…Safety…Service…
Here is my nominee…KANO BROWN…When my husband was first admitted to Grace he was almost comatose, he had no clue of his surroundings
or who he was. He was put on a mechanical soft diet for fear of choking and
thickened liquids. He was dining in the room where they needed assistance
eating. I was always there so I could (try) to feed him. One day Kano was sitting across the room, he was assisting two other patients, but I would look up
and notice him observing us. When he was finished he came over and asked
if I would like him to try. I said Yes, thank you and thought to myself,
“yeah, lots of luck with that”. Kano talked very quiet and gently to my
husband prodding gently with “Mr. Ken you need to eat to get strong”,
etc. Every once in a while he would lean over and quietly say something
directly in his ear. As Kano spoke to him he spoon fed him his liquids. My
husband completed two full glasses, for him of “much needed nourishment”.
I said “how did you do that”? He looked at me with that beautiful winning
smile of his and quietly said “with love Mrs. Tropf, with love from my heart”.
I was awestruck and completely taken with Kano from that time on.

Monday to Friday 6:30am to 5pm
So Smart, It Knows When It’s Needed
The Tibion Bionic Leg is the only wearable, robotic trainer that is activated
by the patients intent to move. It is used by clinical therapists on the mobility
impaired and is designed to strengthen stance, improve gait, and enhance active
motor learning – while protecting its users.
This technology is exclusive to Nurse on Call for the Home Healthcare setting.
NOC therapists use this device in conjunction with other forms of therapy. The
Tibion Bionic Leg becomes a unique tool for clinicians to use so they can provide
the best possible outcomes for mobility impaired patients.
How does it work?
The Tibion Bionic Leg supports the principles
of neuroplasty and active motor learning
that has been shown to be highly effective
and lasting. In some patients, the “carryover”
affect can be seen after a single therapy session – even when the injury has occurred
years earlier.
• Requires patient to shift weight to
affected limb before it will activate
• Breaks the compensatory cycle
• Device “learns” movements and will only
assist when needed and backs off when
it is not
• This intention to move helps patients
relearn how to use their affected limb

Electro Therapeutic Point Stimulation:
Acupuncture Without All The Puncturing
Have you ever wanted to try acupuncture but found yourself a little put off by
the uh, needles? ETPS, or electro therapeutic point stimulation, which is also
known as “needle-less acupuncture,” just
might be for you. Kat Gerhke, LMT, offers this therapy at True Colors Salon
and Spa in Vero Beach. She says “It’s
becoming more popular here as people
realize they can get all the benefits of acupuncture without all the puncturing.”
Fans of ETPS, which uses tiny electric
pulses instead of needles, credit the therapy for relief of back and joint pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, tension, TMJ, lymph
edema, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel.
ETPS can even help people quit smoking. Anything that acupuncture can do,
electro therapeutic point stimulation can
too. Well, except that puncturing thing. For some people, nothing spells relief
like a full body massage. Most, however,
see a massage as a reward or a treat and
they don’t realize the many health benefits
that accompany this rather pleasant form
of wellness therapy. Many insurance companies recognize these preventative benefits, and they began to include massage in
their more comprehensive policies years
ago as part of their wellness approach. Massage enhances the immune system, stimulates lymphatic movement, in-
creases flexibility and circulation, while it
decreases anxiety, swelling and stiffness,
blood pressure, water retention, cramping and pain. Regular massages help
to push toxins from the tissue into the
bloodstream where they can be removed
from the body by your kidneys. Cassidy Tarble, LMT, who works in
the massage department at True Colors
alongside Kat, says “More and more people are making massage a regular part of
their health routine. Compared to exercise and dieting, and the other things we
do to stay healthy, massage is just a little
easier to stick with, I think, than some
of those. Its like finding out your favorite
food is super healthy. Only this is true!” She might just have a point there. For some people, nothing spells relief like a
full body massage. Most, however, see a massage
as a reward or a treat and they don’t realize
the many health benefits that accompany this
rather pleasant form of wellness therapy.

Healthy Nutrition, LLC
I love food and the healthy impact it has
on our bodies from development in the
womb and then through-out our life spans.
Healthy nutrition gives strength to our
bones, energy for everyday tasks, fuel for
athletic achievements, provides essential
vitamins and minerals, and helps prevent
illnesses and diseases like diabetics, high
cholesterol, and obesity.
Diet fads and “plans” do not work for
long term healthy weight and wellness success. In addition, eating correctly does not
require a lifestyle change. Eating is necessary; the difference between eating and
breathing is one is voluntary and the other
is involuntary.
Healthy Nutrition, LLC assists individuals to make healthier eating easier and
spontaneous while still enjoying the pleasure and socialization surrounded with eating. Our bodies don’t know if we ate soup
or nuts but it does know the quality and
nutrients we fed it. Our services include
but are not limited to the following:
• Nutritional education & tools
for better health
• Food and vitamin analysis
• Healthy weight management
• Diabetic education
• Physician-ordered diets such as low
sodium, healthy heart, carb or calorie
counting
• Business wellness plans
• Lectures & community events
• Grocery/Produce tours &
Cooking classes
• Table etiquette for business functions
• High quality vitamins & supplements
Healthy Nutrition is a locally owned nutrition and wellness company. Our focus
is on healthy weight, wellness, and education. Many of our clients understand the
benefits of being healthier and achieving a
healthy weight. They want to reduce their
Colleen Sanders-Symanski, RN
risks or illness, prevent the need for medications, or want to be able to avoid the
side effects of medications. Other clients
just want an analysis of their food and
supplement intake.
We have an advisory panel of expert
health and medical professionals to consult with as needed and also work with our
client’s physicians as requested. If you get
a prescribed diet and you don’t REALLY
know how to shop or prepare it, chances
are it will not be as successful as expected.
We teach you how to succeed! Clients also
have email and web support.
As the owner of Healthy Nutrition, I
believe community involvement is an important aspect of our business philosophy
and services. We support the efforts of
our clients to help those in need by giving
financially as well as “hands-on”. Visit
www.healthnut2go.com for information
about us, nutrition topics, our partners,
and community involvement activities.
I leave you with this recipe idea - to
make a healthy salad punched with protein start with mixed greens or fresh spinach and add any or all of the following: raw broccoli, a few almonds, chickpeas,
fresh peas, a hardboiled egg, sliced scallions, sliced radishes, cucumber, tomato
of your choice, and sliced avocado. Enjoy!
For a long and healthy life, eat foods
with a short shelf-life…

Hip Resurfacing: An Alternative to Hip
Replacement
Richard Steinfeld, MD, MBA, FAAOS Marcus J. Malone, MD
Richard Steinfeld, MD
ORTHOPAEDIC CENTER OF
VERO BEACH
Orthopaedic Update: Treatment with
Total Knee Replacement
Continuing to improve pain relief for post op care following total knee replacement is
an ongoing goal of orthopaedic surgeons. A combination of techniques utilizing spinal
anesthetic and femoral nerve block is very safe. The spinal anesthetic allows the patient
to breathe on their own and avoids nausea and vomiting post op. With the addition of
the femoral nerve block this gives excellent relief of pain. Patients now use compression
cold/heat therapy which can be very beneficial for quicker recovery with less pain.
Patient Specific Knees and Gender Specific Knees are new advancements in joint
replacement technology. Patient Specific Knees are generated from MRI and x-rays to
produce exact knee models. These models are used to create patient specific cutting
blocks that the surgeon uses in the operating room. If proper alignment is achieved,
a prosthesis may last 25 years. Gender Specific Knees are total knee replacement
components designed for the male and female anatomy. This allows better fit and
alignment of components.
Richard Steinfeld, MD is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. His
orthopaedic practice includes sports injuries, hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction, general orthopaedics including foot, ankle, hand surgery, and fracture care.
Dr. Steinfeld also specializes in advanced and leading technologies such as Hip
Resurfacing. Resurfacing of the hip joint is a bone preserving approach that offers
younger, active patients the ability to live pain-free and engage in most activities. The
worn surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with a smooth metal cap and socket without violating the bone normally removed with a hip replacement. From an activity
standpoint, hip resurfacing allows most patients to return to more active lifestyles
including impact activities such as tennis, running, skiing, etc.
EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS:
A Non-Surgical Approach To Reduce
Back Pain
Marcus J. Malone, MD
Dr. Malone specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and is noted for
his work in Chronic Pain Management. As a Physiatrist, Dr. Malone coordinates
the long-term rehabilitation process for patients with disabilities and neurological
impairments. This specialty is particularly helpful for patients with musculoskeletal injuries and joint replacement post operative care.With his training focused on
managing pain, Dr. Malone performs Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs). This process
is a common non surgical treatment method used to help relieve pain in the neck,
low back, arm and leg so that patients may resume their normal activities. Epidural
Steroid Injections consists of a long lasting corticosteroid and an anesthetic. ESIs
have proven to be helpful and are commonly used in combination with a Physical
Therapy program.

Steven Salyer New CEO of Sebastian River
Medical Center
Exciting days are ahead for Sebastian
River Medical Center with their new
CEO, Steven Salyer, at the helm.
Steven joined SRMC in April, coming
from Shands Starke Regional Medical
Center in Starke, Florida, an affiliate
Health Management facility, where he
was the Chief Executive Officer.
Prior to his role at Shands Starke, he
served as the Chief Operating Officer
at Harton Regional Medical Center in
Tullahoma, Tennessee.
Steven ran track and played football
at East Tennessee State University and
still runs every morning at 4:30am. Prior to joining Health Management,
he proudly served his country in a
number of leadership roles with the
U.S. Marine Corps, including a tour
of duty in Iraq. While on active duty,
he earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration from New York
Institute of Technology, Ellis College. He received his undergraduate degree
from East Tennessee State University
in Johnson City, Tennessee.
“After being a Marine, I knew my
civilian career had to be something
where I could contribute to something
larger than myself…something where I
was accountable to make the world a
better place,” he shared with me. And
he found it in hospital administration.
Steven’s leadership role at SRMC is
about supporting. “I think of myself as
being at the bottom of things, not the
30
top…my job is to help doctors, nurses
and staff to help patients.” He proudly
tells me that his Marine experience has
prepared him for this position, “When
you lead Marines in combat, you can’t
fail and I feel the same way here. I’m
completely dedicated to providing the
discipline and passion needed to accomplish our mission.”
While visiting the Sebastian and Vero
Beach area with his wife, Katy, and three
small daughters earlier this year they
spotted five dolphins and two stingrays,
with that said you know the ladies were
ready to move. And, of course, once settling in they purchased a boat and enjoy
family time on the water.

True Colors Salon and Spa Makes
James J. Marino, MD
Board Certified in
Internal Medicine & Pediatrics
How does a friendly environment
lead to better results? Simple, says
Courtney Turner, Owner of True Colors, “When you know your service provider won’t be offended, you can ask
for what you want.”
True Colors offers a wide array of
services from hair and nails to massage and skin care, all in a luxurious
and spacious setting. Complimentary
wine, beverages and snacks await you
in the lounge, but its the attitude at
True Colors that sets it apart. “I’ve seen some very nice places, and
I know there are a lot of very talented
people out there, but the salon and spas
that I liked enough to return to were
the ones that made me feel really comfortable. When I felt like I was among
friends, I could say ‘oh, I wear it this
way,’ or ‘hey, that’s too light,’ and that’s
when I would get exactly what I wanted.” Says Courtney. “Think of me as a client advocate. I’ve
been a client much more than I’ve been
an owner, and I try to approach my job
from the client’s perspective. At True
Colors, we reach out to you and try to
create a relationship where you feel comfortable telling us anything, even what
you don’t like, so that you get precisely
what you want. When I recruit our talent, I make sure they are like us: people
who love people.”
“So if you’re like me, you’ve seen plenty
of salon and spas, and you’ve had plenty
of mediocre outcomes. I invite you to my
salon and spa, True Colors. We are the
place you come back to, I guarantee it.”

Coming Soon – 2013 Medicare
Part D Open Enrollment!
CAREGIVER CRUISE
GETAWAY CONTEST...
read more about it in Pulse Points page 51
36
Each year, Medicare recipients who
are enrolled in Medicare Part D, and
those interested in enrolling, have an
open enrollment period. Starting in
2013, that time frame moved up to
October 15 thru December 7! If you
want to review your plan choices or
change plans you must do so by December 7 (with a few exceptions which
will be mentioned later).
Medicare Part D is an “opt-in” prescription drug plan offered by Medicare
that started in 2006. Congress took a
big step in offering this program by creating a competitive privatized market
for prescription drug plans. What that
means to you is there are MANY choices for coverage! What it also means is
that because these companies that offer the benefits are “for profit” they are
constantly making changes to their premiums, copays, and formularies.
Also in 2013 there are a few additional changes coming that will better serve
beneficiaries. The donut hole coverage for brand and generic medications
is better. Brands will be discounted
52.5% and generics 21%. Also, the
donut hole will start at $2,970 (up $40
from 2012). Finally, to promote excellence in quality and customer service
in its plans, Medicare is offering a
special enrollment period for beneficiaries who want to switch to a 5 star
rated plan at any point during the plan
year. There will also be opportunities
for members whose plan rating has not
achieved at least a 3 star rating for 3
years to also switch.
So, how do you review your plan? There are a few options, but one of the
easiest is to visit the www.medicare.gov
website. Select “Compare Drug and
Health Plans” and follow the prompts
and enter all of your current medications. The website will choose plans
based on the lowest overall cost for the
year, will calculate what your copays
will be for each medication, and will
also predict if/when you will hit the
donut hole. You can even enroll in a
new plan directly from this site. If you
do choose to do this, your coverage will
switch starting January 1, 2013 from
your current plan choice to your new
plan choice. Another excellent website
with a lot of information about plan
options is www.q1medicare.com.
If you prefer personalized service
choosing a prescription plan, you have a
few options as well. The State of Florida
has an information line, 211, and calling
that number will help you locate organizations such as SHINE (Serving Health
Insurance Needs of Elders – a Florida
Department of Elder Affairs assistance
agency). In addition, many independent
insurance agents will sit down with you
to evaluate your plan choices.
And, finally, Bay Street Pharmacy offers this as a no charge
service by appointment. Beginning the first week
of October we
will offer appointments on a first
come first serve
basis. Please call
772-589-2043 for
more information.

to the activities they enjoy. The multidisciplinary team at SRMC includes
physical therapists, nutrition and exercise specialists that work together
to provide a customized approach for each patient. Cardiac rehabilitation
begins in the hospital, following a heart attack or other acute illness. Before leaving the hospital, patients learn about their disease and risk factors
that contribute to heart disease. Patients begin a medically supervised,
monitored exercise program that includes individual support from exercise
professionals. Once monitoring is no longer necessary, patients continue
with a customized exercise program and learn how to incorporate activity
into their lifestyle. For more information call (772) 581-2029.

By Richard Huot, DDS, Indian River Dentistry and
Colleen Sanders-Symanski, RN, Healthy Nutrition, LLC
Dental Care and Diabetes
Diabetics receive a lot
of information on how to
care and manage their disease on topics such as glucose monitoring,
nutrition, foot care, and eye care/exams. Unfortunately, not enough routine
education addresses oral health care and
the risk of gum disease that diabetics face
when blood sugar levels are high. Too
much glucose (sugar) in the blood from
diabetes can cause pain, infection, delayed healing, and other problems in the
mouth. Plaque comes from eating foods
that contain sugars or starches. When diabetes is not controlled, glucose levels in
your saliva help germs and plaque grow.
Plaque can also cause gum disease
(gingivitis/periodontal disease), and
people with diabetes are two times
more likely to develop gum disease.
Gingivitis is the first stage of gum
disease and causes red, swollen and
bleeding gums. Treatment includes daily
brushing and flossing and regular dental
cleanings. Periodontitis is a more severe
form of gum disease and causes:
• red, swollen, and bleeding gums
• gums that have pulled away
from the teeth
• pus between the teeth and gums
• bad breath
• loose teeth
• gum abscesses
Keep your Mouth Healthy
by Taking These Steps
•Keep your blood glucose numbers
controlled. Know your A1C.
•Eat healthy and follow the meal plan
ordered by your physician.
•Brush your teeth with an ADA
recommendedtoothpastethatcontains
fluoride.
•Brush first thing in the morning,
before going to bed, and after each
meal and snack.
•Use an electric toothbrush or soft
toothbrush.
•Gently brush along the gum line, as
well as all surfaces of your teeth.
•Brush your tongue and cheeks, as
they also trap plaque
•Change your toothbrush every 3
months or sooner if the brush looks
worn or the bristles spread out.
•Ask your dentist about using an anti plaque or anti-gingivitis mouth rinse to
control plaque and prevent gum disease.
•Use dental floss to clean in between
your teeth at least once a day. Flossing
helps prevent plaque from building
up on your teeth.
•When flossing, slide the floss up and
down and then curve it around the
base of each tooth and use clean
sections of floss as you move from
tooth to tooth. Or use a dental pick
or brush—thin tools designed to clean
between the teeth. You can buy these
at drug or grocery stores.
•If you wear dentures, keep them
clean by cleaning them with anti bacterial tablets. Have them adjusted
if they become loose or uncomfortable.
•Call your dentist right away if you
have any signs of mouth problems.
•See your dentist at least twice/year
for a cleaning, preventive maintenance
check, and oral exam. Your dentist
may suggest more visits because of
your diabetic condition.
For more information about diabetes and gum disease, go the American Dental
Association website at www.ada.org or the website www.OralHealthandDiabetes.com

Nurse On Call’s “CARDIAC TEAM”
cuts down hospital re-admissions!
NURSE ON CALL has been using this technology for over 2 years now! Unlike
telehealth monitors, ZOE machines are NOT left in the home to be used solely by
the patient and family, instead, is used hands-on by their own skilled nurses as part
of their home health visit. What’s more… this technology and specialized care is
covered 100% under Medicare!
Congestive heart failure is the No. 1
reason adults 65 and older end up in
the emergency room. It also is
responsible for more re-admissions
than any other diagnosis.
“We check their medication and make sure they are taking it as directed by their
physicians,” said Teri Robotti, CHCSP, District Sales Manager of NURSE ON
CALL We educate on CHF, monitor their vital signs and talk to them about the
foods they need to avoid.” According to a recent study at Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation, they purchased 10 ZOE fluid status monitors, which were used
by home health care nurses to measure the fluid congestion in a patient’s chest.
The device predicted increased fluid volume two weeks before the patient began to
show any symptoms, giving physicians and nurses time to adjust medications before
hospitalization became necessary.
Under the new program, Beaufort Memorial was able
to cut re-admissions by 56 percent in three months!
“The collaborative effort, between NURSE ON CALL and our patient’s local
physicians, has a major impact on our patients’ ability to monitor their own condition, and on a physician’s ability to promptly adjust medication, diet, and activity
levels, and virtually eliminate the need for frequent emergency room visits and hospitalizations”, said Teri Robotti “using this innovative device is revolutionary in the
management of our patients living at home with heart failure.”
Their Heart to Heart Advanced Cardiac Team at Home uses ZOE as just one of
the many offerings which includes:
• REGISTERED DIETICIANS
• CERTIFIED LYMPHEDEMA THERAPISTS
• BRIDGING THERAPY/INJECTIONS
• PT/INR MONITORS
TO MANAGE COUMADIN
just to name a few!

The Health Benefits of Pilates
Many people are drawn to Pilates because of the lure of a flatter abdomen.
But the benefits go far beyond aesthetics
to full body strength and flexibility that
allow most practitioners to glide through
life without as many of the aches and
pains that we accept as part of the aging
process. In the words of Joseph Pilates
(1888 – 1967) himself, “If your spine is
inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it is
completely flexible at 60, you are young.” Pilates is known for working the
core muscles, or the Powerhouse as Mr.
Pilates called it. The abdominals and
lower back muscles work in unison to
stabilize the pelvis and to hold the spine
in alignment. Being able to do this in different anatomical planes (seated, lying,
kneeling and standing) is key to preventing lower back injury and explains Pilates
growing popularity among golfers.
Lengthening the Powerhouse muscles
as they fire (“eccentric contraction”)
helps create space between the vertebrae,
preventing compression of intervertebral
disks, ensuing injury and herniations. For golfers and tennis players, this translates into longevity in their game.
For the rest of us, this means better
posture and long, lean muscles. Learning to keep the core engaged pretty much
constantly is like instant weight loss.
Standing taller and prouder makes one
look slimmer and more confident. As
the core becomes stronger, neck and
shoulder tension are released, hip flexors
stop over working and the body moves
more freely, again giving the impression
46
of a more youthful carriage.
Mr. Pilates was adamant that we learn
to breathe correctly. He said that “every
last atom of old air should be squeezed
from the lungs” so that fresh, invigorating oxygen could flood the body by way
of the circulatory system, an act that he
called “the internal shower.” Exercise
helps pump the oxygenated blood all
the way through the body to the furthest
capillaries, nourishing them and carrying
away old debris, and creating an overall
sense of wellbeing.
