Last month, Dr. Jeff Monash was honored as a Tucson Hero at the quarterly Hero Breakfast, a community event recognizing individuals who exemplify service, courage, and compassion.

Dr. Monash—founder of Tucson Bariatric and the Wound Center of Tucson—was the event’s first-ever medical honoree. He was recognized alongside heroes from three branches of the U.S. military and Andy Cathey, brother of co-founder Matthew Crandell.

Adding a deeply personal note to the event, Gordy Siewert, a patient of Dr. Monash, was welcomed as the featured community speaker. Gordy’s words about strength, healing, and gratitude moved the room, underscoring the profound bonds that can form between patients and their physicians.

The Silent Epidemic: Chronic Wounds in Seniors
Dr. Jeffrey Monash and the Wound Center of Tucson spotlight a growing but often overlooked health crisis.

Across Southern Arizona, older adults are quietly suffering from wounds that don’t heal — leading to preventable infections, hospitalizations, and even amputations. Dr. Jeffrey Monash, founder of the Wound Center of Tucson, calls it a “silent epidemic.”

“Families are the first line of defense,” says Monash. “Even a small sore can become dangerous if ignored. Early care can mean the difference between healing and serious harm.”

With Tucson’s aging population, the risks are real — especially for seniors with diabetes, mobility issues, or vascular conditions. The Wound Center of Tucson is urging caregivers to check their loved one’s skin daily, ensure proper nutrition, and seek expert help at the first sign of concern.

Here are five bariatric- and diet-friendly ways to enjoy your 4th of July without sacrificing your progress:

1️⃣ Grill Lean Proteins: Stick with grilled chicken, fish, turkey burgers, or even tofu. Skip the bun and go lettuce-wrapped or plated.

2️⃣ Fresh Veggie Platters: Load up on crunchy, colorful raw veggies—like cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes—with a light Greek yogurt dip.

3️⃣ Fruit-Forward Desserts: Swap heavy sweets for chilled fruit skewers, watermelon slices, or a patriotic berry parfait with unsweetened whipped cream.

4️⃣ Hydrate Smartly: Choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened iced tea. Infuse with lemon, mint, or berries for a festive touch.

5️⃣ Portion with Purpose: Use a smaller plate, eat slowly, and stop when you're satisfied—not stuffed. Enjoy the flavors, not just the fullness.

And remember: Independence Day is about celebration, not restriction. Making mindful choices lets you enjoy the day without regret.
