A: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a very common sexually transmitted virus nearly 80 million people or about 1 in 4 are currently infected in the U.S. HPV can cause certain cancers in women and men. HPV vaccination can prevent most of the cancers and is recommended by the CDC at ages 11 or 12 for girls AND boys.

The American Congress of OB/GYN recommends annual visits without pelvic examination in adolescents starting between age For more info: Dr. David Kirk, OB-GYN, Haywood Women s Medical Center Q: I am 51 years old and a current smoker, should I be screened for lung cancer? A: At this time, lung cancer screening is recommended (and covered by most insurance plans and Medicare) for people between the age of 55 and 80, who have at least a 30- year history of smoking (1 pack per day for 30 years, 2 packs per day for 15 years, etc.) and are either current smokers or have quit in the last 15 years. This is the highest risk group and was found to receive the most benefit from screening. There is currently ongoing research to determine if other groups may benefit as well but at this time lung cancer screening is not recommended unless you are in this highest risk group.

4 Bill Miller, MD and Glenn Trent, MD of Mountain Spine Care. Mountain Spine Care Changes Lives Treating patients as if they are family is a hallmark of the service that has made Mountain Spine Care a top practice in Western North Carolina that cares for patients in five area counties. More than 60 percent of patients travel one to two hours to be treated by Glenn Trent, MD and Bill Miller, MD spine surgeons dedicated to providing a non-operative and operative approach in treating acute and chronic spinal conditions. One patient, Vickie Hoxit, got her start in healthcare as a candy striper volunteer and has worked as a nurse all over the country. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in But, that didn t slow her down until last year, when muscle weakness in her spine caused scoliosis to curve her back and led to pain and severe deformity. The more I worked, the worse the curves got in my spine, she says. I was almost to the point that I couldn t walk. To myself, I was just horrid looking. When it became so severe that she quit working, she was referred to Mountain Spine Care and Trent took her case. He just made me feel so at ease, she says. He told me I don t know that you ll be perfectly straight, but I think I can get you better than what you are. Trent performed a thoracic and lumbar fusion procedure, which took more than six hours, but had her upright and walking the next day. On the fourth day after surgery, Hoxit grabbed a walker and started pacing the halls. Today, her spine is straight, and she has the energy to enjoy life with her family. Dr. Trent, he was my prayer answered, she says. William Bill Blizzard is another patient with a new lease on life thanks to Mountain The more I worked, the worse the curves got in my spine. I was almost to the point that I couldn t walk. To myself, I was just horrid looking. Vickie Hoxit 4 HAYWOOD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
5 Spine Services Mountain Spine Care provides total care service, from diagnosis through treatment, surgery and recovery for conditions including: Stenosis Scoliosis Degenerative conditions of the spine Spine deformities Fractures Spine Care. He was working in his greenhouse near Andrews, NC, when he fell on his hip. The fall resulted in ongoing pain, but he continually shook it off. Even though an X-ray did not show any injury, his orthopedic physician in Murphy, NC, referred him to Miller at Mountain Spine Care. Miller realized it wasn t a hip problem and identified nerve damage as the cause of the pain in his spine. Dr. Miller performed a microdiscectomy (surgery to remove portion of a herniated disc) which effectively resolved his pain. Today, Blizzard is back growing elderberry plants at his greenhouse. He credits Miller s skill and the care at Haywood Regional Medical Center. I have never been in a hospital as clean and professionally staffed as Haywood Regional, he says. Miller built Mountain Spine Care from the ground up in 2002 after completing his fellowship in spine surgery at OrthoIndy in Indianapolis, Indiana. Trent joined the practice about a year ago after Miller s former partner retired. But, the two go way back. Trent was one of Miller s mentors during his residency in Greenville, SC. Trent has been a spine surgeon since The longstanding relationship creates a common vision at the practice. Both doctors believe in treating patients like family. The team that we have, from our fellowship-trained, board-certified physicians to the OR team, as well as physical therapy and radiologists offer top quality orthopaedic care, which is the key to successful treatment outcomes, Miller says. Miller explains that most spine injuries and conditions can be effectively treated though conservative techniques. However, if surgery is absolutely necessary to ensure a complete recovery, our spine surgeons are able to offer the latest advancements in state-of-the-art spine surgery to offer a return back to active living.

6 Community Involvement Haywood Regional Aims to Lower the Amount of Cardiovascular Disease in WNC Haywood Regional Medical Center recently became an accredited Chest Pain Center by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, which involved a rigorous and lengthy evaluation in the ability to assess, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. A part of the top-notch recognition includes Haywood Regional engaging in ongoing community outreach and education on heart health. One outreach program took place during the month of February 2017, which is designated as American Heart Month. The pop-up events Know Your Numbers Heart Month Screening, promoted awareness of signs and symptoms of a heart attack, heart health, Survive Don t Drive education, and hands-on CPR training. Clinical staff also offered free body mass index and blood pressure screenings. We really enjoyed being able to connect with our community outside of the hospital walls, said Jennifer Robinson, RN, PCCN. More than 100 people in the community were screened and provided with education during the first wave of events. Those with higher than normal readings received education about risks associated with hypertension and were urged to follow up with their primary care provider. Information was also given to those without a primary care provider to connect them with one of the many physicians in Haywood County who are accepting new Accreditation standards Hospitals that have received SCPC accreditation have achieved a higher level of expertise in dealing with patients who arrive with symptoms of a heart attack. To Western North Carolina, this means that processes are in place that meet strict criteria aimed at: Reducing the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment. Treating patients more quickly during the critical window of time when the integrity of the heart muscle can be preserved. Monitoring patients when it is not certain that they are having a heart attack to ensure that they are not sent home too quickly or needlessly admitted to the hospital. 6 HAYWOOD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

At a screening, one attendee was shocked to find she had a critically high blood pressure reading. She had no symptoms, which is very common. We want to make a difference by educating people on how to recognize signs and symptoms of a heart attack, and what to do to get help while also helping them understand their own risk factors and what they can do to prevent heart disease, said Denise Ebert, director, intensive care and progressive care at Haywood Regional. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death, accounting for more than 17.3 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to increase to 23.6 million by The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention notes that every 43 seconds someone in the United Sates has a heart Members of the community are screened for heart health by Haywood Regional. attack. Those frightening numbers are why education in our community is so vital, said Steven Gore, MD, cardiologist.

10 A Stroke Can Strike Anyone It can happen to anyone. Patrick Johnson s experience illustrates that anyone at any age can have a stroke, and that quick treatment prevents further damage. As a Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, Johnson had just received an excellent score on the fitness exam, yet three days later, he suffered a stroke. Johnson s wife, Kathie, who is a nurse, called 911 immediately. He arrived at the emergency room with complete left-sided paralysis, facial droop, and slurred speech due to an ischemic Signs of a Stroke F.A.S.T. is the best way to remember the signs of a stroke!

Ischemic strokes account for the majority of all strokes and occur when a clot blocks a vessel supplying blood to the brain. Emergency room staff delivered a tissue plasminogen activator medication, which dissolves blood clots. Many people miss this key brain-saving treatment because they don t arrive at the hospital within hours, which is why it s so important to identify a stroke and seek treatment immediately for the best recovery. Johnson s stroke recovery began days later with rehabilitation program. Speech language pathologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists take a patient-centered approach to individualized treatment to minimize the damage of stroke. Rehabilitation may include: Self-care skills such as feeding, grooming, bathing, toileting and dressing. Mobility skills such as transferring, walking or self-propelling a wheelchair. Communication skills in speech and language. Cognitive skills such as memory or problem solving. Social skills for interacting with other people. Rehabilitation doesn t reverse the effects of a stroke. The goal is to build strength, capability, and confidence to continue daily activities despite the effects of stroke. Within months of his successful rehabilitation, Johnson resumed his lifelong passion of running. He also joined a stroke survivor group for the social support and connection with others who have had a stroke and access to additional resources. It is a challenge for every survivor and caregiver. We all need some help to improve our health and stretch our limits after a stroke, he says. Now, I d like to do the same in our community. In his role as public health services director for the Haywood County Health & Human Services Agency, he will be launching a new stroke recovery support group for fellow survivors and caregivers in collaboration with the rehab team at Haywood Regional Medical Center. As a stroke survivor and a public health professional, I talk about stroke whenever the opportunity presents because awareness saves lives, he says. I can t say I love my stroke residual, but I take every opportunity to speak about it.

12 Participant, Christa McMullen, center, uses exercise to control osteoporosis. Osteoporosis Center Leads in Region When Christa McMullen was diagnosed with osteoporosis, she talked to her doctor about the best ways to manage the condition. She connected with services available through Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center, and today she credits the support and guidance of the osteoporosis team with her success. It has helped, she said. I have avoided medication so far. McMullen now exercises three times a week. She takes the Bones and Balance class, the Zumba class, a spin class, lifts weights, and eats well. I feel super, she said. I feel terrific. McMullen is one of the many participants who have benefited from the services at the Haywood Regional Osteoporosis Center, a leader in the region for more than two decades. Since 1992, the center has been an advocate for quality bone density testing, and a resource for medical and community education. Before that time, patients traveled to Atlanta, GA or Charlotte, NC, for bone density testing. The center is the only facility in the region that has added a new technology called Trabecular Bone Score (TBS). It allows caregivers to evaluate the amount of bone and the structure or architecture of the bone, which is a key component of bone strength. TBS is calculated at the time of bone density testing. Bone Connections is one of the unique programs offered by the team at the osteoporosis center. Beginning with a doctor referral and a physical therapy evaluation, the course is an interactive program in two sessions offered on Monday afternoons. The course focuses on general osteoporosis knowledge, dietary guidance, the role of medications, and the critical importance of physical activity and safe movement. Balance skills are critical to fall and fracture prevention. Matter of Balance, an Learn more: Talk to your doctor about screening for osteoporosis and osteopenia, and your risk for developing the disease. If you already have a diagnosis, ask your doctor to refer you to the osteoporosis center programs at Haywood Regional. Schedule an appointment with a physical therapist to evaluate your balance and strength. Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center also offers and encourages participation in the many ongoing fitness classes for osteoporosis patients or patients who have a high risk of falling, including: Tai Chi: improves balance and prevents falls. Bones and Balance: combination of low-impact weight-bearing exercises, balance and gentle fullbody strengthening exercises. Yoga for Osteoporosis: yoga postures adapted specifically for those seeking to prevent or manage osteopenia and osteoporosis. evidence based program, helps individuals with poor balance gain confidence and make wise decisions to reduce the risk of falling.

13 7 Ways to Save Your Own Life By Emily Watson, PA-C Get screened Be proactive 1 and invest in your health. Have an annual exam with your primary doctor and have those regular screening tests done like colonoscopies, mammograms, bone density scans, blood pressure and cholesterol checks, etc. These can help prevent diseases before they have a chance to begin. Maintain a healthy weight 2 If you are overweight or obese, you are at higher risk of developing serious health problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, breathing problems, and certain cancers. Making small lifestyle changes such as cutting out soft drinks, increasing your steps by parking farther away, and staying hydrated can make a big difference in your overall health. Plus, a healthy weight helps you feel good about yourself and gives you more energy to enjoy life. Eat a healthy diet and stay 3 active It s crucial to fuel our body with the proper nutrients to stay healthy. A few tips to keep in mind: eat in color, read labels, eat smaller portion sizes, order lunch sizes while dining out, and find healthier alternatives such as low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream. And, with spring time finally here, it is a perfect time to embrace getting outside to be active try going hiking, biking, or swimming to stay active. The American Heart Association suggests being active at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week. Get your recommended vaccinations Protect yourself 4 against preventable diseases. Adults need immunizations too! While some, like the flu vaccine, are annual, others are one-time only or may require boosters. Ask your doctor what is recommended for you. Get the recommended 5 amount of sleep Over half of all American adults do not get the recommended amount of sleep, which is at least seven hours for adults between the ages of 18-60, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Insufficient sleep has been shown to lead to serious health issues such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, depression, and weight gain. Wash up Sounds so simple, 6 but maybe that s why it s not taken as seriously. Washing your hands regularly, especially for children, can help prevent infectious diseases. Since so many infections are transmitted by touch, simply washing those ten fingers can be vital in protecting yourself. Invest in me time 7 Whether it s a day of fishing, a yoga class, or reading a new book, investing in those moments of pleasure can help you be more positive, happy, and healthy overall.

14 Haywood Regional Diabetes Class Teaches Healthy Lifestyle Gary Lepak s book of numbers tells the story. His blood sugar is detailed in handwritten notes: 204, 257, 280. He flips through to recent days and proudly rattles off the new numbers: 85, 83, 75. Lepak lost 29 pounds in a little more than a month after starting a diabetes course through Haywood Regional Medical Center. He cut his insulin intake in half. His wife, Lynn Lepak, has lost enough weight that she s going to avoid a total knee replacement. Her blood sugar has been normal since she started the class the first of February. I feel great, she says. I ve lost weight, and my knees feel better. The Lepaks are among the many success stories coming out of the Diabetes Self- Management Education course at Haywood Regional Medical Center. The program is covered by most private insurance and Medicare, and classes are held at Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center. The program teaches participants how to manage diabetes through lifestyle changes, says Lauren Teague, diabetes educator and registered dietitian. Many patients are worried the program will mean drastic changes. But, like the Lepaks, they soon learn Teague is on their side and ready to meet them where they are in life. They always think I m going to take their food away from them, she says with a laugh. I m not going to take their food away from them. It s all about moderation and how we can make it work in their lives. Teague says diabetes is an extremely dangerous disease, which destroys the body if left untreated. Eye complications can result in lost vision. Neuropathy in the feet 14 HAYWOOD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
15 Gary Lepak stands with his wife, Lynn Lepak, while showing his blood sugar log book at Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center. I feel great. I ve lost weight, and my knees feel better. Lynn Lepak Lauren Teague, diabetes educator and dietitian and hands can result in amputations. The kidneys can also suffer damage resulting in dialysis treatment. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and even gum disease. Widespread nerve damage can cause problems with other parts of the body like the digestive system. Lifestyle and diet are the top causes of Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a forever diagnosis, but proper treatment can lead to remission of the disease. Haywood Regional s program is a certified American Diabetes Association course, which means it follows rigorous guidelines. It includes an initial assessment and basic meal planning. Participants then get eight Diabetes Signs and Symptoms Some people don t realize they are diabetic until they end up in the emergency room. If you experience any of these warning signs and symptoms, talk to your physician about getting tested: Urinating often Feeling very thirsty Feeling very hungry - even though you are eating Extreme fatigue Blurry vision Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal Weight loss - even though you are eating more (Type 1) Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet (Type 2) See more at: diabetes.org hours of a group class on monitoring the disease, short-term and long-term complications, medication management, nutrition, stress management, and exercise. They get a full overview, Teague says. It s not just food. We are going to come at it from every angle. At the end, participants get an hourlong follow up with Teague to review their individualized meal plan. I try to meet them where they are, she says. I tend to barter a little bit. I ll give you a little bit of potatoes if you ll give me a little bit of broccoli. Some find the change difficult but others, like those who have been to the emergency room, are usually committed when they walk in the door. The Lepaks say they don t miss fast food. They love cutting down on medications and avoiding surgery. You get used to it, Gary Lepak says. If you put your mind to it, it s fine. HEALTHY HAPPENINGS 15
