It’s summer, and that means we’re all outside
enjoying the weather. Many of us are in a
positive frame of mind these days. But as
happy as this time can be, this time of year
can also be challenging and stressful if you
or someone you love struggles with addiction
and depression.
We’re here to help. This issue features one
man’s journey from addiction to recovery
and illustrates the importance of getting your
family involved in the recovery process.
This issue also features a story about TakeTEN, our innovative lifestyle
medicine program that helps fuse fitness, nutrition and medicine into your
personal lifestyle prescription. Other stories include new advances in cartilage
restoration, a proven method to help some prevent joint replacement surgery.
St. Helena Hospital is committed to providing the patient-centered care you
and your families have come to depend on. I speak for everyone on our staff
when I say it’s our pleasure to do just that on a day-to-day basis.
Best wishes to you and yours,
in this issue
