EDITOR’S NOTE
Good health requires regular maintenance. By Susan Lynn, Register Editor

physical abuse can be lifesaving.
ear readers,
Good health is a lifelong journey. And most times, there’s a lot we can do to stay on track by taking measures to prevent problems before they occur, such as annual well-body exams and regular visits to ensure our eyes and teeth are in good order. As we get older, the number of exams increases. Mammograms help detect breast cancer and colonoscopies can detect and remove polyps before they become cancerous.
Even simple things like a good diet, regular exercise and adequate rest can go a long way — but they can be amazingly difficult to attain for overly busy young families. It’s a great comfort to know all these issues can be addressed right here in Southeast Kansas, where we have a wealth of hospitals and clinics, public health agencies and departments, pharmacies, dentists, optometrists, physicians and more.
To your health, Susan Lynn
Mental health also plays a huge role in our physical health. Access to mental health therapists in our schools is critical to student success. And help for children, women and men who suffer mental or

CHC/SEK IOLA WALK-IN CARE
Don’t feel well? Just come in, and we’ll take care of you.
By the Community Health Center of SEK medical staff
S
ometimes life’s bumps, bangs and illnesses just won’t wait. Iola’s Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas (CHC/SEK) at 2051 N. State St. offers Walk-In Care for immediate medical needs without scheduling an appointment where you can receive expert, compassionate and immediate care for broken bones, sprains, and strains, minor injuries and illnesses. CHC/SEK Walk-In Care is available Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-7 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Anyone can use CHC/SEK Walk-In Services. If your primary care doctor is unavailable, you do not have a physician, or you simply are from out of town and under the weather, you are always welcome at CHC/SEK. The health center treats everyone, regardless of ability to pay. They also accept all commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. Discounted services are available for those who qualify. Another great advantage to CHC/SEK’s Walk-In Care clinic is its pharmacy. Patients typically must make two trips for their medical needs: one to their doctor for diagnosis and prescription and another to a pharmacy to receive their medications. The CHC/SEK clinic includes Apothecare Pharmacy, available to patients inside the clinic at the time of their visit. This one-stop convenience saves patients time and ensures that they 4 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
receive and understand their medication before they leave the clinic. It is important to remember that walk-in services are
“The difference between Walk-In Care and emergency rooms is the severity of the health issue.”
If you have any doubts or concerns about the severity of an illness or injury, call 911. EMS teams can save lives in critical situations.
not a traditional hospital emergency department, and sometimes it is hard to decide where you should seek treatment. Suppose your sudden illness or injury is something you would typically feel comfortable addressing with your primary care doctor. In that case, walk-in care is probably more appropriate than the emergency room. Hospital emergency departments provide medical care at any time, day or night, and are equipped and staffed for the most complex or critical needs, including life- and limb-threatening situations ranging from heart attack and stroke to traumatic injuries following a car accident.

HOPE UNLIMITED
Trauma-informed care guides Hope Unlimited. But what is it? By Hope Unlimited staff
H
ope Unlimited was formed in 1984 to provide survivor assistance in Allen, Anderson, Neosho and Woodson counties. At that time, the board of directors took survivors into their own homes to provide them with a safe place to stay. Since then, Hope Unlimited has grown and now provides a multitude of services to men, women and children who have experienced family violence, sexual assault or sexual abuse. It’s important for us to clarify, though, that we aren’t here to fix or save those who come to us. We’re here to acknowledge their truths, to hear them out, and to help them along in their own recovery. Trauma-informed care guides this work. Simply put, this approach assumes that an individual who walks through our doors is more likely than not to have experienced something traumatic. Whether the trauma be physical, verbal, psychological or something else, we use the trauma-informed approach to make sure we ask the right questions. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with this person?” we make sure we ask, “What happened to this person?” Only then can we move forward.
A trauma-informed approach to services acknowledges that a complete picture of a person’s life situation, both past and present, is necessary to provide effective healing services. 6 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
The programs of Hope Unlimited create a safe, caring and inclusive environment for everyone. Trauma-in-
formed services recognize the following core principles:
• Safety • Trustworthiness • Peer Support • Collaboration • Empowerment
What do these principles mean, and what do they look like? Safety is the easiest for most of us to visualize. It includes welcoming common areas, safe and secure entrances to our buildings, and a focus on protecting privacy. Trustworthiness means our staff at Hope Unlimited are respectful and that we honor professional boundaries.
Our staff have big hearts, but we understand what our job is—and isn’t—and we maintain interpersonal boundaries. Peer support in our work means we labor to help build on shared experiences between survivors and provide space for reciprocal giving and receiving of support. Peer support dovetails with our focus around collaboration, where we help individuals make decisions, instead of making decisions for them. Power must be shared, and we do our best to empower survivors to decide the best path forward. This leads to the last principle of trauma-informed services: empowerment. Hope Unlimited strives to validate and affirm each person who asks for our help. We prioritize building skills, developing confidence and helping survivors find their unique path forward. Through our services we strive to empower and advocate for those impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence, and child sexual or physical abuse in a trauma-informed setting. If you have been affected by domestic violence, sexual assault or child abuse, please call 620-365-7566 for services. Hope starts here.

WOMEN’S HEALTH
Meet Dr. Dawne Lowden
By Neosho Memorial Regional Hospital staff
L
ast month, Dawne Lowden, MD, OB-GYN became the third OB/GYN serving area women for pregnancy and women’s health. Dr. Lowden joined Cathy Mih-Taylor, MD at NMRMC Women’s Health Clinic in Chanute. Along with Kari Hamlin at the Ashley Clinic, the three OB/GYNs provide care to women in a six-county area in southeast Kansas. Let’s take a minute to learn more about Dr. Lowden. “My hometown is Neodesha, and my family is still here. I’m married to Chris Jabben, who is also from Neodesha. I have three children, and he has four. They range in age from 22 to 32. We also have cats and dogs.” OB/GYNs specialize in pregnancy and female reproductive health. They can perform a wide range of procedures, including sexual health screening, cancer screening, pregnancy-related problems and gynecological surgeries and procedures. “I originally wanted to be a family doctor, but then I came into the realization that I wanted to be a surgeon. I’m a surgeon at heart, but I also enjoy taking care of people on a long-term basis. I enjoy the variety of care that we provide as OB-GYNs.” Returning to southeast Kansas “Even though I’ve lived and practiced in Wichita for almost 30 years, I still consider southeast Kansas home. It is a beautiful part of the state,” Lowden says. “So my goal is to have my Chanute practice and an outreach clinic in Neodesha where I can see patients closer to their homes,” she explained. 8 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
Health maintenance for LIFE! Seeing a medical provider on a regular basis can help women keep up on recommended health screenings such as clinical breast exams and mammograms. Screening tests can find cancer before a person has any symptoms. Regular screenings can help find and treat pre-cancers and cancers early, before they have a chance to spread. For women routine screenings include: Age 25-39: Cervical cancer screening. Age 40-49: Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer and Cervical cancer screenings. Age 50+: Lung cancer screening (if a current or former smoker), Breast cancer, Cervical cancer and Colorectal cancer screenings. Looking for an OB provider? For more information on the physicians both Family Medicine specialists and OB/GYN’s who deliver babies in Chanute, visit www.nmrmc.com/providers.
The transitions in a woman’s life from adolescence through pregnancy to menopause are an amazing health journey. Your health deserves specialized care from the experts at Neosho Memorial in Chanute. The Women’s Health Center specializing in:
• Maternity care. • Family planning & contraception counseling. • Infertility counseling. • Detecting and treating breast problems. • Gynecological surgery, including vaginal reconstruction, bladder, hysterectomy, and more. • Robotic, traditional and laparoscopic surgery options. • Treatment of ovarian cysts and endometriosis. • Menopause care, including hormone replacement therapy. • Treatment of osteoporosis. • Cosmetic services.

DIET AND NUTRITION
Busy mom realizes need for self-care By Susan Lynn
A
s a licensed dietitian and nutritionist, Katrina Springer knows what a proper diet should include. Sticking to it, however, has become more of a challenge and for the first time in her life, Springer is realizing that the more she’s pulled in different directions, the less she’s able to focus on a healthy lifestyle. Katrina, age 39, says she is the heaviest she has ever been, and it’s clearly not sitting well with her. Mind you, Katrina is the very image of fitness. But as we all know, it’s the image we carry of ourselves that dictates our response. And for Katrina, she equates those few extra pounds with a loss of energy — and that’s not her. Her first instinct is to place the blame on “baby No. 4.” To be fair, it’s not adorable Finian’s fault, but the circumstances that come with managing four young children, including being responsible for their education. Katrina’s biggest hurdle is getting enough sleep. Typically, it’s only after everyone else has gone to bed that she has any time for herself. Most nights that includes preparing lesson plans for the next day and some “screen time.” The hours fly by, and Katrina usually finds herself going to bed way too late. “I know that being sleep-deprived is a big part of my problem,” she said. “When you don’t get enough sleep, it changes your hormone levels so that you are more likely to gain weight and snack. I’m also a stress eater,” she said. “Sometimes when I have a moment to 10 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
myself, I’ll say, “I’ll just have this little tasty treat,’ even though I’m not hungry. As mothers, we feel like we need to be everything to everybody. I homeschool my kids, get them to their different activities, keep the house in some semblance of order and cook their meals. I know I haven’t been taking care of myself like I should.” Most young parents can identify with Katrina’s situation. The surprise is that it takes a physical toll. “I was always in high school and college sports,” she said, a lifestyle she’s more or less continued. The idea that she would have to be purposeful in keeping her weight under control never crossed her mind. The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t helped. “We all got shut down and that inertia is hard to overcome,” she said. “Making the initial effort is difficult.” Katrina said the extra pounds “creep up on you. So, when you make the decision to go on a diet or start a new exercise routine it’s easy to get discouraged when the weight doesn’t fall off immediately. For myself, I realize this has been going on for a full year. It could theoretically take just as long to get back to my original weight.” But it can be done. “For me, a support system is crucial.” Katrina sets aside each evening to walk with her sister, Lisse Regehr. “We don’t go far, maybe a mile. But it’s a chance to catch up, let off some steam if we need to.” She also frequently rides her bike when doing errands.
The Springer family out for a ride. From left, Moira, age 9, Katrina and Finian, age 1, Rohan, age 13, Declan, age 5, and Job. “That’s the beauty of living in a small town.” Katrina credits her husband, Job, also 39, as an inspiration. “He’s always supportive of me taking the time to exercise,” she said. “He’s also extremely practical. I tend to set these artificial timelines as to when I’m going to start exercising. And then when that date passes, I’ll set another one,” she said. “Job tells me, ‘Just begin tomorrow.’” As for diet, Katrina recommends keep only healthy food in the house. When hunger pangs sound the alarm, the go-to foods are hard-boiled eggs, nuts, deli meats, cheese, baby carrots and snap peas. “You’ve got your protein and crunch, right there,” she said. When stressed for time, it’s tempting to fall back on quick-and-easy meals, “which can wreak havoc on a diet. Time is the enemy to eating healthy,” she said. The workaround is to purchase prepped vegetables. “Fresh or frozen, they are a life-saver.” She’s also a big fan of crock pots where meats and vegetables can be thrown in to cook all day.
Eating slowly also helps you not eat as much. For Katrina, extended family dinners with her parents, Mary Ann and Walt Regehr, are a big help. “My parents host us twice a week, which, I know, is just amazing.” Katrina recommends centering each meal on proteins and vegetables. If you’re still hungry, then add fruit. Save carbohydrates for last. The easiest way to improve your diet? “Lower your carbohydrate intake,” she advised.

PREVENTATIVE HEALTH
It might be time for a colonoscopy. By Dr. Ralph Hall
P
atients rarely look forward to a colonoscopy, but Ralph Hall, DO, General Surgeon for Allen County Regional Hospital, knows patients are always looking forward to good health. That’s why he stresses the importance of taking preventative measures at every opportunity. Dr. Hall strongly encourages anyone between 50 and 75 to call and schedule a colonoscopy. The American Cancer Society now even recommends people who are at average risk to start regular screenings at the age of 45.
“Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death, and it’s such a treatable disease when caught early,” Dr. Hall said. Screening tests can find polyps that can be removed before turning into cancer and, in most cases, these precancerous polyps found during a colonoscopy can be completely removed during the procedure. “We’ve found that some people are falling behind the recommended schedule for their screenings,” Dr. Hall said. “It’s such an important preventative check, and I really like to see folks come in and get this taken care of.” A colonoscopy is the most effective screening exam for 12 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
colon cancer, but if you’re holding off on screening because you dread getting a colonoscopy, there are other options. Talk to your provider about the best option for you. See Preventative Health | Page 14

Recommendations will vary based on age and other risk factors, including a family history of colorectal cancer or having an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s. Lifestyle factors such as a lack of regular physical exercise and a diet high in fats and processed meats also contribute to increased risk. Dr. Hall has performed thousands of procedures and is
known for taking extra time to educate his patients, breaking down medical terms, and often drawing sketches as he describes the process. “It’s important that my patients understand what their options are and what to expect with any procedure, whether it’s a routine screening or something more serious,” he said. “I want my patients to be actively involved in the decisions regarding their health.” Right now, patients can schedule most procedures within two weeks. Along-time resident of Fort Scott, Dr. Hall has been practicing medicine in southeast Kansas for nearly 30 years, and he has been seeing patients in Allen County for more than a decade.
“People don’t have to make multiple trips to the city,” Dr. Hall said. “We provide a great personal service right here and without delay.”
In addition to surgical services at the hospital in Iola, Dr. Hall maintains a surgery clinic in Fort Scott, Kansas, and sees patients for pre- and post-op appointments on Fridays. Call 620-365-1320 to make an appointment in Iola or Fort Scott. Dr. Hall has recently added Anderson County Hospital to his practice locations, providing surgical clinics and procedures at the specialty clinic in Garnett, Kansas,

DIABETES AWARENESS
Wilson Medical Regional Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Center promotes diabetes awareness By Wilson Medical Center staff
W
ilson Medical Regional Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Center in Neodesha is raising awareness of diabetes-related wounds as part of Healogics’ eighth-annual Diabetes Awareness Campaign. Throughout November, they will educate the local community about the importance of awareness, early intervention and specialized care for diabetes-related chronic wounds, like diabetic foot ulcers. Local team members will also visit healthcare providers in surrounding areas to provide important information to help at-risk patients living with diabetes. These resources include the 2021 Diabetes Awareness Infographic and posters designed to encourage patients to take off their socks and shoes for foot exams at every appointment.
There are 34.2 million people in the United States currently living with diabetes. Diabetes-related wounds are a leading cause of limb loss, accounting for 65,000 amputations annually. Early detection and specialized care from a Wound Care Cen16 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
ter can reduce healing times and significantly reduce the risk of amputation. Risk factors for diabetes include age, diet, activity level, obesity and heredity. Factors that may increase the risks of developing a chronic wound, such as a diabetic foot ulcer, include high blood sugar levels, poor circulation, immune system issues and nerve damage.
how we may be able to help you with other hard to heal wounds, contact the Wilson Medical Regional Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Center at (620) 325-8393, 2600 Ottawa Road, Neodesha, KS.
The Wound Care Center recommends the following to help prevent diabetic foot ulcers: •
Stop smoking immediately
•
Comprehensive foot examinations each time you visit your healthcare provider (at least four times a year)
•
Examine your feet every day or have a family member inspect them
•
Take good care of your feet and clean your toenails
• See your healthcare provider to care for corns and calluses • Choose supportive, proper footwear (shoes and socks) Diabetic foot ulcers have a very high recurrence rate: As many as 40 percent of people with a healed diabetic foot ulcer will develop a new ulcer within a year. Diabetic foot ulcers can be challenging to heal, so it’s important to seek specialized care from a Wound Care Center as soon as an ulcer develops. Wilson Medical Wound Care Center provides advanced therapies to aid in infection prevention, new tissue growth and successful wound closure.

MENTAL HEALTH
Mental Health Matters!
By Abby Basham, Outpatient Therapist for Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center
W
hen thinking about “health,” many different things may come to mind. What you eat, your physical health and exercise are all common components of health, but people often overlook an especially important component- mental health. A person’s mental health can impact not only our mood, relationships and work performance, but even our physical health.
Poor mental health has been known to contribute to heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure and muscle tension, among other health issues. Mental health across the world has been greatly impacted by COVID-19 and the many adjustments that have come with the pandemic. Now more than ever, it is crucial we prioritize mental health. More people than ever are suffering from depression and anxiety. And even as things start to ease back to normalcy, our mental health may still need time to adjust and process through trauma acquired during the pandemic. To help manage your mental health, try this simple mindfulness strategy. Start by sitting in a chair or laying down. Take a deep breath and start to relax your body. Notice your muscles relaxing and focus on the speed and rhythm of your breath. Take slow deep breaths in 18 HEALTHY LIVING • 2021
through your nose and out through your mouth, while letting your thoughts come and go. Do not follow these thoughts; simply let them drift away. After approximately five minutes, you can start to flex your muscles and eventually bring your breathing back
to a normal rhythm. Gradually, you may find yourself able to sit mindfully for longer periods of time. Mindfulness allows us to be present in the moment, not focusing on all the things on our to-do list, along with many other stressors that may contribute anxiety. By incorporating small amounts of mindfulness daily, your brain will get a well-deserved break from the worry of the day-to-day grind. Other mental health and stress management activities can include exercising, improving your diet, participating in hobbies that bring you enjoyment and making sure you are getting an adequate amount of sleep. If you are finding yourself more easily angered, “burnt out” with work or life situations, easily upset with things that used to leave you unbothered, or if you just want someone to listen, consider seeking therapy. Investing in our mental health is an investment in not only your satisfaction with your life, but your relationships with others and even your physical health. Put the time and effort into improving your emotional well-being because your mental health matters!
