KNOW YOUR NUMBERS!

To help support and educate our community in blood pressure management, Heritage Valley has partnered with the American Heart Association to provide self-service Healthbot stations in three of our Medical Neighborhoods... Center Township, Chippewa and Robinson Township. The Healthbot stations measure blood pressure, heart rate, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI), giving you the chance to “know your numbers” and monitor your vital signs. By consistently tracking these numbers over time, you may be able to decrease high rates of hypertension and obesity.

Please stop by one of these three Medical Neighborhoods Monday through Friday from 8 am – 8 pm, or Sundays from 8 am – 4 pm to check your numbers.

Knowledge is power when it comes to adopting a healthy lifestyle!

Every October we celebrate NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH to raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy. It's also a great opportunity to appreciate what Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants do to transform lives!

Physical therapists evaluate, treat and educate patients to help prevent or alleviate pain and dysfunction. They use a variety of treatment techniques to increase motion, increase strength, improve balance and decrease pain. The physical therapists at Heritage Valley Health System work in conjunction with your physician to make sure that your treatment plan is individualized to meet your specific needs, taking into consideration any other medical conditions. We help you set realistic targets for recovery and work closely with you to meet those goals.

Please visit http://ow.ly/7ifS50L24Tg for a list of our Physical Therapy locations. We respect the relationship that you develop with your therapist and try to set up your appointments with the same therapist each visit to maintain continuity of care.

It’s time to think pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. At Heritage Valley, we want to make sure that every woman has access to the services she needs and the support she deserves. BreastCare is our comprehensive, integrated breast health care program, which offers a range of services, from screening and diagnostic breast imaging to treatments for breast cancer.
