Dear North State Community Members:
We are pleased to present the spring edition of
Be Well
magazine.
Throughout
Be Well
, we offer information designed to
encourage you in your health journey. This edition features
important information about cardiovascular health,
including stroke warning signs and prevention. We also
highlight the success of a congestive heart failure program
that helps Dignity Health North State patients learn how
to manage their condition and live a fuller life.
In these changing times, we want to partner with our
community to help all of us proactively manage every stage
of our health. That’s why Dignity Health North State offers a
comprehensive continuum of health care services. You have
access to our award-winning hospitals and emergency departments, our primary
care clinics, lab draw centers, wound care, and ongoing community education
classes, along with a physician referral service. Our Golden Umbrella Adult Day
Health and Shasta Senior Nutrition Programs are also important services available
for seniors, people with disabilities, and their families.
Please let us know if you find the information in
Be Well
useful for building
better health for you and your family. If you’d like to see something featured in
an upcoming edition, please share those ideas with us too.
Our commitment to provide excellent care remains central to everything we
do. We appreciate the trust you place in us for your medical care.
Together, we look forward to helping you
Be Well
.
Sincerely,
Mark Korth
