A live 15-minute conversation about health and health news from the Sunshine Community Health Center: It’s hosted by Holly Stinson, with in-studio guest Keith Kehoe, Physician Assistant at the clinic.
Today’s main topic of conversation was about the focus of the Northwest Regional Primary Care Conference which Keith attended recently: How do we keep people well? The current thinking in primary care is that population health, with a holistic approach to well-being, is what should be emphasized. Keeping the population emotionally and physically well should take aspects of food quality and security, transportation, and the work place into consideration. Also, a growing concern among attendees at the conference is opioid addiction and the health risks and dangers of e-cigarettes.
Finally, Keith reminded listeners to be aware of the stress of the season, and to take time out to take care of themselves. (A woodpecker on the outside of the building added emphasis to most of today’s conversation).
