June 6, 2014 Dear Health Care Provider, It is shocking to learn that as of today 1 out of every 3 children in America is considered overweight or obese. Based on current trends, by the year 2030, 2 out of every 3 children born today will be obese by the time they graduate high school. Here at the YMCA of Florida’s First Coast, we believe that through knowledge, guidance and encouragement we can help our future leaders develop and realize their highest potential. This is why we invest in the education of our youth through all of the many camps and activities that the Y offers. And now for the first time, the Y is offering Youth Nutrition Consultations with our Registered Dietitians (RDN) who are highly experienced in youth nutrition education. During these consults, the RDN can estimate the child’s nutritional needs, suggest meal plans and discuss physical activity. The consult will be a personalized and interactive conversation between the child, caregiver (i.e. parent) and the RDN. Our goal is to help the child find a balance between home and school life to meet their health goals and set a foundation for future healthy living. For more information please call 904.854.2084 to get in touch with the First Coast YMCA’s Registered Dietitians. Please see the attached flyer for additional details.

Sincerely, Sue Dukes, DTR Director of Healthy Living Innovations: Nutrition & Obesity YMCA of Florida’s First Coast 12735 Gran Bay Parkway West, Suite 250 Jacksonville, FL 32258 sdukes@firstcoastymca.org


Youth Nutrition Counseling BROOKS YMCA

Private, one-hour individual consultations are available for children ages 2-17. COST Members - $45 Non-Members - $60

All children deserve to grow up carefree, but sometimes that can be difficult when health problems start to develop and get in the way of having fun. Many obesity issues can be curbed with the right diet and exercise, that’s why we’re making nutrition consultations available to our youth to help them start feeling like a kid again. Visit the Welcome Center for more information or call SUE DUKES, DTR Director of Healthy Living Innovations: Nutrition & Obesity 904.854.2083

Introducing Baptist Travel and Tropical Medicine Center James Allen, MD, PhD - Medical Director

A travel medicine and infectious diseases expert, James Allen, MD, PhD, consults with his patients to provide valuable information that is customized to their health needs and travel itinerary. James Allen, MD, PhD, is board-certified in Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine, with a PhD in microbiology. He has earned a Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health through the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and a Certificate in Travel Health from the International Society of Travel Medicine. Dr. Allen provides them with valuable information, about the following: Country specific health information Country specific immunization recommendations Malaria prevention - medicines and repellents Country specific diseases Food and water precautions Traveler’s diarrhea - prevention and treatment Health advice for women/pediatric travelers High altitude illness Deep vein thrombosis CDC Travel Notices U.S. Deptartment of State Travel Warnings and Alerts International travel information


FAQs: Q. If all of my immunizations are up to date, why should I see a travel medicine physician? A: A consultation equips you with important health information about the region you are traveling to. A travel medicine physician can review recommended and required immunizations with your personal health status in mind. A travel medicine physician will also be able to review the risks of immunizations and possible interactions with your other medications. Q: How far in advance of my trip should I get my vaccinations? A: At least two months prior to your trip because some immunizations take time to complete. But some shots, like hepatitis A, can be taken right up to your departure date. It is a good idea to plan as far ahead as possible, but check with a travel clinic before even a last minute trip. Q: Will my health insurance cover the cost of travel health preparation like vaccinations? A: Not usually. Because many health insurers view travel as a choice, they believe that an individual should be responsible for his or her medical preparation. Some medications and immunizations may be covered under special circumstances. You may want to look into purchasing medical insurance that will cover you for the days you are traveling.

Pricing: Consult fee: $50 individual, $70 family, $35 each 2 or more Medication Administration fee: $36 for 1st injection, $42 for 2 or more injections

BAPTIST NEUROLOGY

Baptist Health offers new treatment for epilepsy patients Patients with epilepsy whose seizures are not well controlled with medication may be good candidates for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). Syed Asad, MD, a neurologist with Baptist Neurology, is offering this proven technology for patients who have tried more traditional treatments yet still have seizures. More than three million Americans have epilepsy and as many as one-third are unable to control their seizures with medications alone. Many patients taking medication experience side effects, such as extreme weight loss or gain, fatigue, lack of concentration, irritability, nausea and mood and vision changes. For these patients, alternative treatments, such as VNS, may be an excellent option.

• M any hospital admissions related to seizures

VNS therapy works by implanting a device in the chest that sends mild electrical impulses to the brain via the vagus nerve in the neck. It is often referred to as a “pacemaker” for the brain.

• T hose who do not wish to have brain surgery

VNS therapy comes with a magnet that, when swiped over the site of the implant, can prevent or lessen a seizure. The procedure is performed by a neurosurgeon and takes between 45 minutes to an hour. It is less invasive than brain surgery and most patients are able to leave the hospital the same day they have the procedure. Because VNS Therapy is a non-drug option, it does not involve the typical side effects associated with anti-seizure medications. Some common side effects may include voice alteration, tickling in the throat, cough and a feeling of shortness of breath. Most patients say these side effects usually occur only when the device is stimulating the vagus nerve and often diminish over time. The majority of patients with VNS therapy continue with the treatment and report that seizure control improves over time. To date, more than 70,000 patients worldwide have received VNS Therapy and been able to enjoy greater confidence and freedom from the control of their seizures as a result. Patients with at least one of the following may be candidates for VNS therapy: • U ncontrolled seizures after trying at least two different anti-seizure medications • Low quality of life • Difficulty learning

• N egative side effects from drugs • N oncompliance in taking medications • F requent use of rescue medications • I neffective polypharmacy • T hose who are not good surgical candidates • T hose whose seizures are not localized • T hose who have experience surgical failure of relapse • T hose who have not had success with a ketogenic diet for seizure control To make a referral to Dr. Asad, call 904.398.5404 or fax, 904.391.5545.
