Our recent reports have proved our efforts are worth it. We strive to be a good medical home for people, part of that means helping remind people to make their physicals. Our efforts are in efforts of better health care for you. So thank you for your understanding when we call with our reminders to make an appointment. 100% of kids 0 to 15 months had their well child checks 92% of kids 3 to 6 years had their well child checks, and the other 8% already have them scheduled 99.4% of kids aged 12 to 21 years have had their well child check or physical. These are some pretty awesome percentages! We plan to have a large team of medical and public health professionals as well as teenagers interested in helping with public health/mission projects. Volunteers who are not employees of Atkinson Family practice are expected to fundraise for their own expenses* as much as possible.

Dr Kate and crew Thank You Tom!!! February 3, 2012 We must all make decisions regarding how we spend our leisure time – watching our children & grandchildren, reading & relaxing, scrapbooking, watching TV, attending sporting events, going to the theater or movies, etc. So when someone decides to spend some of that precious time doing something picked special for Atkinson Family Practice, we like to acknowledge that contribution. Our waiting room is sporting two new pieces of furniture made by our office manager – Tom Ptaszkiewicz. The coat rack and coffee table seen in these pictures were made from scratch! Tom out and cut the lumber, turned the legs, put everything together, sanded, stained and finished each piece. Please take a moment to check them out next time you stop by to visit us. They are truly professional pieces that we are very proud to put to use. We’re sure you will be just as impressed as we are! ~submitted by your appreciative coworkers Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. This means women just like you – mothers, sisters, friends – are dying at the rate of one per minute. In fact, in the time it takes to read this, another woman will die from heart disease. It simply does not have to be that way. At the American Heart Association, we work every day to fund research and fight this killer so more women can be saved. But we need your help. This National Wear Red Day, join our mission to ensure we never have to deny research that could save a woman’s life. Help raise the funds needed for lifesaving educational programs and the development of new treatments to fight heart disease. On February 3, 2012, or any day, Make It Your Mission to Save Lives. Together we can make a difference Their are many many links to read about heart health here are a few. -Heart Disease Fact Sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/data_statistics/fact_sheets/docs/fs_heart_disease.pdf -HighBlood Pressure Fact Sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/data_statistics/fact_sheets/docs/fs_bloodpressure.pdf -Cholesterol Fact Sheet: http://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/data_statistics/fact_sheets/docs/fs_cholesterol.pdf Womans Health Guide-http://www.goredforwomen.org/wearredday/resources/documents/2012_wrd_heart_health_guide.pdf . Sooooo how are you doing with those New Year’s resolutions?!?! Exactly… Dr Kate decided that we could all use some inspiration so she invited 3 of her patients who made big lifestyle changes in the past year–-they were practically couch potatoes and now they are exercising regularly and feel great! –to come share with us how they did it and what changes it has made in their lives. Please come share with us this free discussion program at the end of which we also invited a few local exercise teachers to give brief demos of different options you might want to try. This is not a marketing talk—it is a gift from Dr Kate to anyone who like to come listen with no strings attached (except, of course, that she is hoping you will catch the spirit of exercise to feel better, improve your energy and enjoy life more). Friday February 10th 6pm at Grace Episcopal Church On the Amherst Common In the Connector (the big room to the left of the church). Light, healthy refreshments will be served RSVP not required but would be helpful so we can gauge numbers 413-549-8400 |
