"For many patients, it feels like for the first time their body isn't fighting against them." Sarah H. Finn, MD, section chief of Obesity Medicine at Dartmouth Health, says about GLP-1s.

Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, which belong to a group of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, are showing promise in helping manage several long-term health problems beyond diabetes and obesity, including liver disease, chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and possibly addiction.

While these results are a potential gamechanger, these drugs can also be expensive, cause side effects, and need to be taken long-term to work best.

Our pharmacies have gone green—literally! 🍃 Our prescriptions are now packaged in compostable, paper-based and curbside-recyclable prescription bottle Tully Tubes from Parcel Health. In addition to looking a lot cooler than traditional medication bottles, to date, Parcel Health has prevented over 250,000 plastic bottles from entering the waste stream, equivalent to about five school buses full of plastic.

“We’ve seen growing demand from our patients and team members for eco-conscious solutions,” said Chelsea Thurston, our director of pharmacy operations. “By sourcing these new environmentally friendly medication containers, we not only align with our goal of reducing single-use plastics but also maintain the highest standards of care and safety.”

If you see these new bottles as part of your next Dartmouth Health pharmacy mail order delivery, don't be alarmed. Learn more ⬇️

Healthy eating starts with everyday choices. March is National Nutrition Month, and we're here to remind you that eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated! 🥗 We asked our team to share some of their favorite heart-healthy foods. Small changes can make a big difference.

More Healthy Eating Tips for the whole family from American Heart Association:
* For snack time, keep fresh fruit and pre-chopped or no-chop veggies on hand. Your family is more likely to grab fruits and vegetables if they're readily available.
* Enjoy fish high in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, mackerel, trout and albacore tuna are good choices.
* A small handful of nuts or seeds can be a satisfying and healthy snack. Look for unsalted or lightly salted nuts. Almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts are all good choices.
* Vegetables and fruits are loaded with nutrients and fiber, and typically low in calories and sodium.

Do you live in southern New Hampshire and are worried that you may be at risk of heart disease or in need of monitoring for an existing heart condition?

We have expanded our cardiovascular services in southern New Hampshire to include cardiac PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT (computed tomography) imaging, which is coming this summer. Our Manchester location also offers in-person care for cardiac and vascular surgery, as well as electrophysiology clinics.

According to Jason Lemire, FACHE, administrative director of the Heart and Vascular Center at Dartmouth Health, the expansion of services in southern New Hampshire enhances convenience and consistency of care.

“Our cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists and vascular surgeons have in-person clinics in Manchester, so when a patient travels to Lebanon for a procedure, they can receive care from the same provider in Southern New Hampshire,” says Lemire.
