What's New 
January  2010

Happy New Years to all our patients!  As we all make resolutions for the year to come, make sure you put your health on your list of priorities.  Make an appointment with one of our doctors to update your annual physical exam and to discuss your plan for a healthy 2010!
 
January is both Thyroid Awareness Month and Glaucoma Awareness Month.  A balanced thyroid hormone level helps to maintain overall healthy well-being in our day to day lives.  If you have thyroid concerns, come in to talk with one of our doctors about your symptoms and to have your thyroid hormone levels checked.  We often take our vision for granted, but as we get older, it is important to update your eye exams every year or two.
 
For the women, January is also Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.  Screening for cervical cancer is performed through regular Pap smears.  A cervical cancer vaccine is also now available for women ages 9-26 to help decrease the risk of cervical cancer.  Cervical cancer has been found to be associated with various strains of HPV (Human Papillomavirus).  Come in to update your Pap smear or to discuss whether the cervical cancer vaccine is right for you.
