HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE

2016-17 Health Resource Guide

The Missoulian and the Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce are proud partners of the 20th Annual “Missoula County Health Resource Guide.” Our shared mission is to educate and showcase the wide variety of healthcare services Missoula offers as the “healthcare hub” of Western Montana. This guide is one way in which we fulfill this shared mission. Another way we fulfill this mission is through a Chamber of Commerce committee dedicated to health and wellness – the “Health and Human Services Committee.” In addition to educating residents of greater Missoula on available health and human service offerings, the committee provides a neutral forum for representatives of the healthcare sector to work together for the benefit of the community in developing programs, publications and awareness campaigns.

One example of the Health and Human Service Committee’s efforts is the rollout, this past year, of a new educational series called, “HealthWise.” This series is designed to bring you closer to the health and wellness information that matters to you most. Please look for more information about this series at missoulachamber.com. You can access an online version of this Health Resource Guide at missoulahealth.com. Please contact the Chamber if you have a correction or if you would like your organization to be listed in future guides. Best Wishes for Good Health, Jack Daniel 2016-2017 Missoula Chamber of Commerce Health and Human Services Committee Chair

Common Medical Definitions Sometimes it seems as if medical professionals speak an entirely different language from the rest of us. Just like other professions, the medical field has jargon all its own. The language can be intimidating, but never be afraid to ask questions of your provider if you don’t understand something. It is your right as a patient to be informed and take an active role in your healthcare. A responsible provider will not be irritated by your questions and should answer them willingly. Here are some definitions that you may find helpful. Consult a medical dictionary for a more complete listing of terms. Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) – is a nurse with post graduate education in nursing. APRNs are prepared with advanced didactic and clinical education, knowledge, skills and scope of practice in nursing. Nurses practicing at this level are educationally prepared at the post graduate level and may work in either a specialist or generalist capacity. APRNs, whether they are nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists or nurse midwives, play a pivotal role in the future of health care. APRNs are often primary care providers and are at the forefront of providing preventative care to the public. Anesthesiologist – is a nurse or physician trained in anesthesia and perioperative medicine. Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) – is a frequently ordered panel of lab tests that gives your doctor information about the current state of your kidneys, blood sugar, electrolytes and acid/base balance in your body.

Stay Hydrated! By Rebecca Morley and Hana VanEvery Water is vital for life and plain water is a calorie-free option for hydration. Every system in our bodies depends on water to function. Drinking enough water daily keeps our joints lubricated, helps regulate our body temp and blood pressure, protects the sensitive tissues in our body (such as our spinal cord) and helps eliminate waste from the body. It helps us avoid fatigue and just feel better. As humans, most of our water comes from the beverages we drink, including coffee, tea, milk, juice and sugar-sweetened beverages. Water is inexpensive and calorie free! Foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, lettuce, melons and soups are also hydrating. The amount of water each of us needs on a daily basis depends on a few factors. Height, weight and physical activity all contribute to how much water we need to take into our bodies each day. So how much fluid do we need to take in? The Institute of Medicine recommends that men drink about 13 cups (3 liters) and women about 9 cups (2.2 liters). Yet according to a study by Alyson B. Goodman, MD, MPH, nearly half of American adults are not drinking enough water. Regulating the fluids in our body is important to normal functioning. Our bodies lose water through sweating. Sweating is one of our major mechanisms for keeping our body cool in hot climates and physical activity. Lack of water can lead to dehydration. Our urine can be a good indicator of current hydration. If our urine is dark yellow, it usually means that we are less hydrated rather than if our urine is a light yellow to colorless. Your body needs more water if you are physically active, in hot climates or a hot environment, running a fever or if you are vomiting or have diarrhea. Though it’s important to drink fluids continuously throughout the day to avoid dehydration, we want to avoid over-hydration, which can cause hyponatremia. Keep track of how much liquid you drink and don’t force more than the recommended amount. Children need proper fluid intake also. The daily amount of

water that a child needs depends on factors such as age, weight and gender. To determine how much water your child needs, visit eatright.org/resource/fitness/sports-and-performance/ hydrate-right/water-go-with-the-flow. Check out this further source to help consider the special fluid and nutrition needs of young athletes at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ articles/PMC3805623/. If you are an athlete yourself, you might want to consult a board certified specialist in sports nutrition. Regardless of age or activity level, keep calm and drink water. Perhaps it’s time to hit the tap! Rebecca Morley, MA, is the Eat Smart Coordinator with the Missoula City-County Health Department and can be reached at (406) 258-3827

Tips for getting more water: • Carry a water bottle for easy access. • Choose water instead of sugary beverages. • Choose water when eating out. • Add a wedge of lime or lemon to add flavor.

Alternative Health Comprehensive and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices and products that use a natural and non-invasive approach in healing and prevention of disease. CAM is becoming widely accepted by many Americans as the pursuit of health and wellbeing is growing. The 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which included a comprehensive survey of CAM use by Americans, showed that approximately 38 percent of adults use CAM. For more information you may visit the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at: nccam.nih.gov/ or contact one of the local businesses listed in this section of the Health Resource Guide. Acupuncture – is one of the main forms of treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the use of very thin needles that are inserted in the body at very specific points. It is thought that acupuncture adjusts and alters the body’s energy flow into healthier patterns and it is used to treat a wide variety of illnesses and health conditions. Ayurveda – is the ancient Hindu science of health and medicine that emphasizes a preventive approach to health which focuses on an inner state of harmony and spiritual realization for self-healing.

The Aqua-Chi Detox Foot Bath combines the life-giving properties of water with a special bio-electric charge which enhances and amplifies the body’s ability to heal and dramatically increases energy levels which help to detoxify your body. Bioacoustics – is a science that deals with the relationship between living things and sound and is most aptly described as a cross between music therapy and biofeedback. The principles originate with the idea that the brain perceives and generates impulse patterns that can be measured as brain wave frequencies. Biofeedback – is a complementary and alternative medicine technique in which a person learns to control their bodily functions. Electrical sensors are connected to a person’s body that help measure and receive information about the body. The biofeedback sensors teach a person how to make subtle changes in the body, such as relaxation, breathing and heart rate, in order to achieve desired results. BodyTalk – is an astonishingly simple and effective holistic therapy that allows the body’s energy systems to be resynchronized so they can operate as nature intended. It is non-invasive, objective in application and works effectively on humans and animals alike. BodyTalk can be used as a standalone system to treat many chronic and acute health problems or can be seamlessly integrated with any healthcare regimen to increase its overall effectiveness. BodyTalk’s major assets are its simplicity, safety and the speed of results. Colon Hydrotherapy – is a safe and gentle way to hydrate and cleanse the colon Warm filtered water is introduced into the colon, hydrating the tissues and any hardened materials

that may be in the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy is also known as colonic irrigation, colon therapy or a colonic. Craniosacral Therapy – is a therapy that uses a light touch to detect and correct imbalances in the membranes of the central nervous system. Energy Balancing – is a science of stimulating and balancing the body’s life energy so healing can occur. Feldenkrais – is an educational system that allows the body to move and function more efficiently and comfortably. Its goal is to re-educate the nervous system and improve motor ability. Fertility Hypnosis – focuses on all aspects surrounding fertility, through the support of hypnosis. Fertility hypnosis is more than relaxation and goal focusing. It’s an individualized program tailored to work alongside natural conception, assisted conception and special circumstances that surround an individual’s fertility challenges. Hypnosis – is a psychological treatment where a person is put into a state of altered consciousness and deep relaxation, with the goal of improving a person’s ability to access certain internal experiences, such as memories or emotions. HypnoBirthing – the Mongan Method is a gentle birthing method that promotes natural childbirth. Its unique approach to relaxation, breathing practices and visualization is enhanced through self-hypnosis and provides the woman with the awareness and confidence to use her natural birthing instincts. Homeopathy – is a safe, effective system of natural medicine, used by millions of people worldwide for more than 200 years. Homeopathic medicines (called “remedies”) are prepared from natural sources, are used in extremely small amounts and are recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. They can be safely used alongside conventional medicines, they will not interfere with the action of medicines prescribed by your doctor and because they are non-toxic they have no side effects. Iridology – is an alternative medicine technique in the form of energy work in which the practitioner studies the iris of the eye to assess where the person might have energy blocks. It is used to assist clients in improving energy levels and overall wellbeing. Massage Therapy – is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress; and to promote health and wellness. Mindfulness Meditation – is an intentional and self-regulated focusing of attention, whose purpose is to relax and calm the mind and body. Naturopathic Medicine – is primary physicianbased health care which focuses on holistic and natural medicine. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) – is a model rather than a theory – it is the study of subjective experience geared more toward finding solutions than analyzing causes.

your body. The intent is to open one’s body to its own healing energy. Rosen Method Bodywork – is a unique form of bodywork that invites relaxation, awareness and a coming home to the body.

Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early-onset Alzheimer’s (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s. Alzheimer’s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. Although current Alzheimer’s treatments cannot stop Alzheimer’s from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort underway to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset and prevent it from developing. Alzheimer’s Association, www.alz.org

Assisted Living Choosing a facility for yourself or your family member can be overwhelming; however there are resources to help make these life changing decisions. Educate yourself about your options, which include contacting the Area Agency on Aging in your area and speaking to the local ombudsman. The ombudsman is the resident advocate for people living in a long term care facility. They can provide you with consumer tips, comparison tools and answer any questions you might have. In addition, visiting the potential facilities is highly recommended. Ask to sample the food, talk to residents and look at the

activities being provided. Part of the research should include reviewing the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent survey which will tell you how the facility did on its last state inspection and is available upon request at all facilities. Included in this guide are both nursing homes and assisted living facilities. For facilities outside of Missoula, please contact your closest office on aging at 1-800-551-3191.

Cancer and Oncology

Cancer is a general term for cells that grow out of control, no longer perform their normal functions and invade other tissues. Cancer was the second leading cause of death in Montana from 2005-2009 after diseases of the circulatory system such as heart disease and stroke. The causes of cancer are usually unknown, but are often preventable. Many types of cancer are considered curable especially if discovered early and all cancer cells are removed by surgery or destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation. Cancer doesn’t discriminate – it is blind to economic status, gender and age. A cancer diagnosis affects everyone – the patient, family, friends and co-workers. A more complete Cancer Resource Guide for Missoula, Mineral and Ravalli counties is available online at www.CancerResourcesMT.org. The website also has a calendar of local cancer-related events. It was developed by the Missoula Responds to Cancer Coalition, working with the Montana Cancer Control Program, the Montana Cancer Control Coalition and Tobacco Free Missoula County. The National Cancer Institute has a user-friendly dictionary of cancer and oncology terms at: www.cancer.gov/dictionary In this section you will find the following resources for Missoula County: • Cancer Support Organizations & Online Cancer Resources • Camps & Retreats • Financial Resources for Cancer • Physical, Therapeutic & Wellness Activities • Support Groups

Advanced Care Planning

As you work with treatment, you will be asked to complete one or more Advanced Directives – your choices about how and how extensively you would like to be treated in a serious medical situation and unable to make decisions for yourself. It provides instructions about what you would want done or not done about life-sustaining treatment and other health care issues. Talk with your family, friends and physicians about your advance directive. Be sure the person you appoint to make decisions on your behalf understands your wishes and has copies of your forms. Examples of advance directives include health care directives, living wills (called declarations in Montana), health care (medical) powers of attorney and provider orders for life sustaining treatment (POLST). Here are three common Advance Directives used in Montana:

Five Wishes

www.agingwithdignity.org/forms/5wishes.pdf The Montana End-of-Life Registry www.endoflife.mt.gov

The Montana End-of-Life Registry electronically stores advance directives and allows registered health care providers and consumers access to them. It is overseen by the Attorney General’s Office.

Montana Provider Orders For Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST)

www.dphhs.mt.gov/sltc/services/vethome/MVHForms/POLST. pdf The provider should review the POLST form: each time a patient is admitted to a facility, any time there is a substantial change in the patient’s health status or any time the patient’s treatment preferences change.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema refers to swelling that generally occurs in one of your arms or legs, but may involve more than just one. It is caused by a blockage in your lymphatic system, often due to removal of or damage to your lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment. When the lymph fluid doesn’t drain well, the fluid builds up and the swelling continues. There’s no cure for lymphedema, but it can be controlled with diligent care of the affected limb. Referrals to certified specialists are usually made by your health care provider, but you may request a referral, even with a phone call. Once you receive a prescription for lymphedema help from your provider, you may select which specialist to see.

Pain Relief, Neuropathy, Comfort & Palliative Care

Some chemotherapy drugs can cause peripheral neuropathy, a set of symptoms caused by damage to nerves that control the sensations and movements of our arms and legs. Your health care team needs to know if your chemo is causing signs of chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), so be sure to tell them about any changes you notice. Palliative care is comfort care given to a patient who has a serious or life-threatening disease, such as cancer, from the time of diagnosis and throughout the course of illness. It is usually provided by a specialist who works with a team of other health care professionals, such as doctors, nurses, registered dieticians, pharmacists and social workers. Palliative care addresses the emotional, physical, practical and spiritual issues of cancer.

Family members may also receive palliative care. Research shows that palliative care improves the quality of life of patients and family members, as well as the physical and emotional symptoms of cancer and its treatment. • Referrals can be made by your helath care provider. • For specific resources, see the REHABILITATION section, under the Pain Management heading Physical, Therapeutic & Wellness Activites

Survivorship: Living with Treatment & Beyond

An individual is considered a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis, through the remainder of his or her life. The numbers of survivors are growing – currently about 12 million in the U.S. and expected to reach 20 million by 2020. As the numbers grow, after-treatment resources are beginning to be more available. During acute cancer treatment most patients are managed medically by their oncologist and social workers offer assistance with psychosocial and financial issues. Once they complete treatment, some patients are frightened by the fact that they will not have as frequent access to professional care. Patients can be proactive and ask their oncologist or social worker for a “Survivorship Plan” to review with their primary healthcare provider. Both your oncologist and your primary healthcare provider should be made aware of any questions or concerns that exist, including psychosocial issues, financial concerns and quality of life issues. The four most commonly reported concerns after treatment are energy, concentration, sexual functioning and neuropathy (pain or numbness in hands or feet).

Chiropractic The chiropractic profession focuses on the function of the most important organ system in the body, the nervous system. When the nervous system becomes compromised through trauma, postural alterations or stress, the body is unable to function properly. As a result, you may experience symptoms such as pain, headaches, muscle tightness, numbness, low energy, etc. Chiropractic treatments help to restore normal function of the nervous system allowing the body to heal itself. The chiropractic profession is a proactive profession meaning that it focuses on the cause of symptoms and keeping you healthy.

Dentistry Common Dental Terms: Dental Hygienist: a trained professional who cleans teeth and offers instruction on the general care of teeth. Dentist: an authorized practitioner of medicine dealing with the care of teeth and associated structures of the oral cavity. Concerned with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth and gums. Denturist: a practitioner concerned with the study and provision of full and partial dentures as well as their maintenance and repair.

Orthodontist: a dentist who is an expert in dealing with prevention and correction of abnormally positioned or aligned teeth. Periodontist: dental practitioner concerned with the study and treatment dealing with diseases of the tissues surrounding the teeth (gums).

Pediatric Dental Care:

When should a child begin visiting the dentist? Primary teeth serve a number of functions and it is important these teeth be kept until they are lost naturally. They help guide the proper eruption and positioning of the permanent teeth. By age 3, most children have all twenty of their primary teeth. This is a good time to begin regular dental visits unless there are signs of decay or problems earlier. Note that infant tooth decay can arise from prolonged breast or bottle feeding, usually at nighttime. Weaning around the first birthday is recommended. 1. D o not put your baby to bed with a bottle or bring them to bed and breast-feed. 2. D o not let your baby walk around with a bottle during the day; tooth damage can result. 3. Use a pacifier instead of a bottle if your infant seems to require more sucking time.

Health Resource Guide 2016-17

4. Wean your baby to a cup by the age of one year. 5. Brush your baby’s teeth as soon as a tooth appears. Use a soft brush with no toothpaste for an infant. 6. Missoula does not add fluoride to the water supply. You should get a prescription from a dentist or physician for fluoride supplement vitamins. They should continue fluoride supplements until the age of 12. 7. Begin dental visits by the age of 3 or sooner if you see any problems.

Disease Specific Resources AIDS/HIV

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is most commonly spread through IV drug use and by sexual intercourse with an infected partner. It can also be spread through contact with infected blood and women can transmit the virus to their babies during pregnancy or birth. By killing or damaging cells in the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system, HIV progressively destroys the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to fight infections. The term AIDS applies to the most advanced stages of HIV infection.

Chronic Fatique

CFIDS (chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome) is also known as CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), CEBV (chronic Epstein-Barr virus), M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis), “yuppie flu” and many other names. It is a complex illness characterized by incapacitating fatigue (experienced as exhaustion and extremely poor stamina), neurological problems and a constellation of symptoms that can resemble other disorders including: mononucleosis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, AIDSrelated complex (ARC), Lyme disease, post-polio syndrome and autoimmune diseases such as lupus. These symptoms tend to wax and wane but are often severely debilitating and may last for many months or years. All segments of the population (including children) are at risk, but women under the age of 45 seem to be the most susceptible.

Depression

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, a depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive illness cannot merely “pull themselves together” and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression. A self-test to screen for depression is available on the Missoula County Health Promotion Website: www.co.missoula.mt.us/ healthpromo/SuicidePrevention/index.htm

Diabetes

There are several types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually develops during childhood and is an autoimmune disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to create enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes is not an autoimmune disease but is a result of obesity and poor eating choices. It usually develops in overweight adults, but may also occur in overweight children. Gestational diabetes develops in some pregnant women if their hormones increase the body’s resistance to insulin. Gestational diabetes typically goes away after the pregnancy.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women. Coronary heart disease is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries to your heart. This may also be called hardening of the arteries. Fatty material and other substances form a plaque build-up on the walls of your coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to your heart. This buildup causes the arteries to get narrow. As a result, blood flow to the heart can slow down or stop. Many things increase your risk for heart disease. Diabetes is a strong risk factor for heart disease. High blood pressure increases your risks of heart disease and heart failure. Extra cholesterol in your blood builds up inside the walls of your heart’s arteries (blood vessels). Smokers have a much higher risk of heart disease. Chronic kidney disease can increase your risk. People with narrowed arteries in another part of the body (examples are stroke and poor blood flow to the legs) are more likely to have heart disease. In addition, substance abuse (such as cocaine), being overweight, not getting enough exercise, and feeling depressed or having excess stress are other risk factors. –U.S. National Library of Medicine, A.D.A.M.

Home Health Care

Patients who recover in the privacy of their own home often have shorter recovery times and spend less money (compared to hospitals or nursing homes). The goal of home health care is to regain independence, and become as self-sufficient as possible. Medicare and many private insurances cover medically necessary home health-care services. Services are ordered by a physician and care plans are developed to guide recovery from illness or injury. Types of care include: 1. Part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care by RNs or LPNs. 2. Home Health Aids or CNAs to assist with bathing, wound care and basic self-care. 3. Custom professional help may be covered as well, such as physical therapy (relieving pain, restoring movement and regaining strength), speech-language therapy (help with speech and swallow disorders), occupational therapist (home safety and adaptations for daily activities) and medical social worker (access to resources and psychosocial needs).

Kidney Disease

Healthy kidneys clean the blood by filtering out extra water and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and blood healthy. When the kidneys stop working the body holds fluid, blood pressure rises and harmful wastes build up in the body. When this happens, treatment to replace the work of the failed kidneys is needed. High blood pressure and diabetes are the two most common causes of kidney disease.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that can affect both men and women as they grow older. People lose bone strength as they age, making the bones weaker and prone to fracture. Osteoporosis is symptomless and may not be diagnosed until after a bone has been broken. A person suffering from osteoporosis can suffer broken bones even after a minor fall. Osteoporosis is 100% preventable and if diagnosed early, responds well to treatment. Your health care provider may be able to set you up with a bone density scan.

End of Life Care

The end of life is an experience all human beings share. We may experience it quickly with little manner. The end of life is an inevitable event that affects not only the individual, but also their loved ones and other members of the community. Hospice services are one way that people with life-limiting illnesses and their significant others can acquire support during the final stages of their life. Support services are available in hospitals, for in-home services, long-term care and assisted living settings. Those who are grieving from the loss of a loved one also need support and relief. The organizations listed below may help you locate support.

Exercise and General Health The American College of Sports Medicine currently recommends exercising three to five days a week. Exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. A five to ten minute warm up period should precede aerobic activity. Exercise intensity should be maintained for 30-45 minutes, followed by a gradual decrease in intensity. The workout should be concluded with 5-10 minutes of stretching to cool down. Adequate hydration can help your performance and prevent the medical dangers associated with dehydration. The popular rule of thumb is to drink six to eight, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. The easiest way to tell if you have had enough to drink is to monitor your urine. Clear-colored urine in significant amounts indicates adequate hydration. Dark-colored urine is concentrated with metabolic wastes, signaling dehydration. For additional information regarding what type of exercise program that may be right for you, contact your health care provider. Aquatic Exercise/Fitness – exercise performed in water that promotes and enhances physical and mental fitness. Aquatic fitness is typically performed in a vertical position in varying depths of water. Cycling/Spinning – is a cardiovascular workout performed on a stationary bike. Classes typically focus on variations in cadence, resistance and body position. Nia – is a physical conditioning program based on a premise that movement is a pathway for self-discovery and personal transformation. Nia is intended to delivery cardiovascular aerobic exercise and whole-body conditioning. Oula – is a one hour high-octane, crazy-fun dance energy featuring sexy and fun movement set to top 40’s music. Pilates – is a system of exercises that promote strengthening of the body, often using specialized equipment. T’ai Chi – is a Chinese martial art and form of stylized, meditative exercise, characterized by methodically slow circular and stretching movements and positions of bodily balance.

Nutrition Services Nutrition services are available to meet the needs of people of all ages and varying health conditions. Proper nutrition is critical for promoting good health and for preventing and managing disease. Optimum nutrition is a daily concern from the moment of conception through our senior years. Adopting healthy eating patterns is the recommended way to eat better, according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Eating patterns may differ according to taste preferences, culture, traditions and budget, but still be healthy. Recommendations include: • Follow a healthy eating pattern across the lifespan. Eating patterns are the combination of foods and drinks that a person eats over time. • Focus on variety, nutrient-dense foods and amount. • Limit calories from added sugars and saturated fats and reduce sodium intake. • Shift to healthier food and beverage choices. • Support healthy eating patterns for all. Good nutrition can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease, diabetes and cancer) and promote your overall health. Unhealthy eating habits have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United States: about one-third of U.S. adults (33.8%) are obese and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years are obese. Even for people at a healthy weight, a poor diet is associated with major health risks that can cause illness and even death. By taking steps to eat healthy, you’ll be on your way to getting the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, active and strong. If your doctor recommends nutrition counseling or if you or a family member feel the need to improve your dietary habits, there is help available. Registered dietitians and nutrition educators provide counseling on healthy eating for all ages, including pregnant and breastfeeding moms, special nutrition needs for people with diet restrictions due to illness and weight management. Food assistance programs are available for people who require additional resources.

PREVENTION

By Dr. Jeffrey Engel of Optimum Health and Wellness, PLLC

Health is commonly described as the absence of disease. Therefore when people are asked if they are healthy, many believe they are because they lack the physical signs or symptoms associated with disease. When these same people

were asked what it takes to stay healthy, the most common response was to eat well and exercise. A recent CDC report indicated that 90% of Americans rate their health as “good” or better. Despite this fact, as a country we spend more than any other country (more than $2 trillion) in healthcare, but rank a dismal 38th in overall health. This may be difficult to believe, but we all know of someone who ate well and exercised regularly yet still fell victim to a heart attack or a cancer diagnosis. Clearly there is more to the puzzle. Recent research is showing that many disease processes begin years before physical symptoms occur. Research is starting to agree with basic human physiology in understanding that the disease process begins with a process known as inflammation. Many of us have experienced inflammation in the form of trauma, such as a sprained ankle. However, this type of inflammation occurs at a subclinical level. In other words, inflammation occurs despite no physical signs or symptoms. This discovery led to TIME magazine featuring an article entitled “Inflammation, The Secret Killer” linking inflammation to heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer and many other diseases. Today it is estimated that over 85% of all diseases can be linked to this inflammatory process. Now that we have an understanding of the inflammatory process that eventually leads to disease as well as a general decline in our health, we need to look into what we can do to prevent this process from occurring. Please refer to the online version for a more detailed explanation of each section. Nutrition (see the Nutrition Section for more information): Perhaps one of the most important aspects when it comes to combating inflammation is what we decide to eat every day. For thousands of years our ancestors consumed a diet of

96 missoulahealth.com

whole, unprocessed foods, without additives, sweeteners or preservatives. As a result they never experienced many of the diseases we face today. Exercise: Regular exercise is vital for our overall health as well as prevention of certain diseases. However, there is much confusion on what the right way to exercise truly is. If exercise is done correctly, we can effectively build muscle and burn fat. If we exercise too much or do the wrong type, research shows that it may actually induce the inflammatory process. Stress Management: We can all agree we live in a fast paced world with endless deadlines and demands for our time. We are more stressed today than we’ve ever been. When the body is faced with stress, it reverts to a state of survival until the stress is gone. During this process the body puts all of its energy and resources into surviving. Therefore, if we cannot effectively deal with stress, our body begins sacrificing its own health for the sake of survival. Environmental Factors: Another major cause of inflammation is toxins. We cannot seem to go anywhere today without being exposed to some type of chemical or toxin. Whether it’s from cleaning solutions, pesticides, food additives or even our own stress hormones our body must deal with a constant bombardment of toxins. Research has shown that what we are exposed to in our daily environment can actually trigger our genes to express disease. Preventive Services: can both prevent and detect illnesses and diseases – from flu to cancer – in their earlier, more treatable stages, significantly reducing the risk of illness, disability, early death and medical care costs. Some services also provide counseling and education to help empower individuals to better manage their illnesses and reduce risk factors for diseases and their complications. Preventive Screenings: To get a personalized list of recommended health screenings see www.healthfinder.gov/ prevention/myHealthfinder.aspx?source=govdelivery Screenings are medical tests to check for diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Getting screened is one of the best things you can do for your health. Most diseases are easier to treat when they are found early, so getting screened can help you stay healthy. You and your health care practitioner can decide together which tests are right for you by discussing: your risk for different health conditions based on your medical history and family history, your values, which screening tests you may need this year and the pros and cons of each test. Costs of Preventive Care: Under the Affordable Care Act, you and your family may be eligible for some important preventive services – which can help you avoid illness and improve your health – at no additional cost to you. These include preventive exams, health and cancer screenings, immunizations and much more. For details, see the adults, women & children’s pages: www.healthcare.gov/what-are-my-preventive-care-benefits/ Insurance: Preventive screenings and services are now being covered by most insurance providers without deductible or copay, under the Affordable Health Care Act. There are exceptions, however, so check with your insurance provider for details on your coverage. Uninsured, eligible residents of Montana with pre-existing conditions can apply for coverage through the state’s Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan program run by the Montana Comprehensive Health Association; call 1-800447 7828 x2128 or visit mthealth.org. A federally-operated

Health Insurance Exchange is available in Montana; see: www. healthinsurance.org/montana-state-health insurance-exchange. See the Health Insurance section for more information. Medicaid: Preventive Screenings are covered by both Basic and Full Medicaid. EPSDT is the early and periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment portion of Medicaid.

Cancer Screenings for Early Detection

The recommendations for cancer screenings are continually changing with new research. In the midst of these changes, not too surprisingly, people disagree on the recommendations. The best thing you can do is establish a relationship with a health care provider, who can take the time to get to know you, your medical history and your family’s medical history. Together, you can decide on a schedule of cancer screenings which are right for you. This chart has been compiled as a guideline for the discussion but may not be appropriate if you are at higher risk of

cancer because of your lifestyle (such as smoking) or personal or family history.

Cervical Cancer Screenings Paps & HPV Vaccine

Cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S. The death rate has decreased dramatically, mainly as a result of Pap tests, which can find cervical pre-cancer before it turns into cancer. Almost all cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can be passed from one person to another during sex. HPV usually causes no symptoms and in most cases goes away on its own. Some types of HPV, however, can cause changes on a woman’s cervix that can lead to cervical cancer over time, while other types can cause genital warts. In addition to HPV, other things can increase your risk of cervical cancer, including smoking, HIV, using birth control pills for five or more years and having given birth to three or more children.

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine

There are approximately 40 types of genital HPV. HPV vaccine is an inactivated (not live) vaccine which protects against four major types of HPV, including two types that cause about 70% of cervical cancer and two types that cause about 90% of genital warts. The HPV vaccine does not appear to cause any serious side effects. Tell your provider if you have any severe allergies, especially yeast or if you are pregnant. The vaccine appears to be safe for both the mother & unborn baby, but it is still being studied. Any woman who learns that she was pregnant when she got the HPV vaccine is encouraged to call the HPV Vaccine in Pregnancy Registry at 1-(800)-986-8999.

Pap Smears and HPV Testing

The Pap Smear test is a simple procedure in which cells are taken from a woman’s cervix and vagina and examined under a microscope. The Pap test can pick up changes in cells before they turn cancerous. Discuss the best screening schedule for you with your healthcare provider, based on your family history, personal history and values. See the chart at the end of this section for general screening recommendations. HPV Vaccines are available at most health care providers. See the Hospitals and Health Facilities Section.

Health Resource Guide 2016-17

Chronic Disease Prevention: Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke

There’s a big link between diabetes, heart disease and stroke. In fact, two out of three people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke, also called cardiovascular disease. Clogged blood vessels can lead to heart attack, stroke and other problems. You can lower your risk of all of these conditions if you: • Don’t smoke (see Tobacco below) • Are physically active and maintain a healthy weight (see the next section) • Watch, control & improve the Healthy ABCs: A is for A1C. Your A1C check, which also may be reported as estimated average glucose (eAG), tells you your average blood glucose for the past two to three months. Goal: 4.5 – 5.6 B is for blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart work harder than it should. Goal: <120/<80 C is for cholesterol. Your cholesterol numbers tell you about the amount of fat in your blood. Some kinds, like HDL cholesterol, help protect your heart. Others, like LDL cholesterol, can clog your arteries. High triglycerides raise your risk for a heart attack or a stroke. Goal: greater than 200 total cholesterol. Some programs that help address all of these factors:

Colorectal Cancer Screening

Removing a polyp early may keep it from becoming cancerous. Men and women at average risk should begin screening tests at age 50. There are many kinds of screens to choose from with pros and cons to each. Preparation, costs and frequency of the tests vary. The best screen is the one that you will do! Talk to your healthcare provider about your own health and your family history to choose the best screening plan for you and to determine whether your schedule for repeating screens will vary from the recommendations. See the chart on the previous page for general screening recommendations.

Genetic Testing

Genetic tests have been developed for more than 2,200 diseases, of which about 2,000 are currently available for use in clinical settings. Such tests and other applications of genomic technologies have the potential to help prevent common disease and improve the health of individuals and populations. Despite the many scientific advances in genetics, researchers have only identified a small fraction of the genetic component of most diseases. People have many different reasons for choosing or not choosing genetic testing: to help determine the risk of developing common diseases, for disease prevention, for earlier and more frequent disease screening, prenatal diagnosis or to identify the best medication for a person. Others may use genetic information to make life decisions, such as career choice, family planning or insurance coverage. People can seek advice about genetic testing from a genetic counselor. Genetic counselors help individuals and families understand the scientific, emotional and ethical factors surrounding the decision to have genetic testing and how to deal with the results of those tests. Many provide telemedicine around the state, without the need to travel. Genetic evaluation/counseling is often covered by insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, if it is done by a physician. The actual genetic testing may not be covered by insurance, however, so

check with your provider before seeking evaluation or testing. For more information see “Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic Testing” at www.genome.gov/19516567

HIV & Hepatitis Testing

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), a debilitating and sometimes fatal disease. It is spread by unprotected sexual contact or infected blood transfer, such as sharing infected hypodermic needles. Many people with HIV infection do not have symptoms and may not realize they can infect others through sexual contact. Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV; that means that once you have HIV, you have it for life. The only way to know if you’re infected is to be tested. Everyone should be tested at least once. If you are at increased risk for HIV, you should be tested for HIV at least once a year. The best ways to prevent HIV are to not inject drugs and to practice safe sex (correct and consistent condom use). Hepatitis C is an infection caused by a virus that attacks the liver and leads to inflammation. Most people infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) have no symptoms. In fact, most people don’t know they have the HCV infection until liver damage shows up, decades later, during routine medical tests. HCV is passed through contact with contaminated blood – most commonly through needles shared during illegal drug use.

Health Resource Guide 2016-17

These two medical conditions are often connected. People with HIV infection are dis-proportionally affected by viral hepatitis. About 80% of people with HIV who inject drugs also have HCV. HIV co-infection more than triples the risk for liver disease, liver failure and liver-related death from HCV.

Immunizations Vaccinations

From the HealthyPeople.gov website: The increase in life expectancy during the 20th century is largely due to improvements in child survival; this increase is associated with reductions in infectious disease mortality, due largely to immunization. However, infectious diseases remain a major cause of illness, disability and death. Immunization recommendations in the United States currently target 17 vaccine-preventable diseases across the lifespan. Vaccines are among the most cost-effective clinical preventive services and are a core component of any preventive services package. Childhood immunization programs provide a very high return on investment. For example, for each birth cohort vaccinated with the routine immunization schedule (this includes DTap, Td, Hib, Polio, MMR, Hep B and varicella vaccines), society: saves 33,000 lives, prevents 14 million cases of disease, reduces direct health care costs by $9.9 billion and saves $33.4 billion in indirect costs.

Prostate Cancer Screening

With the exception of skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men in the U.S. Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but most grow slowly. If you are concerned about prostate cancer or if you are 50 or older, talk with your healthcare provider. Learn about the possible benefits and risks of testing and then decide if testing is the right choice for you.

Skin Cancer Screening

Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. Regular exams of the skin by both you and your doctor increase the chance of finding skin cancer early. Most nonmelanoma cancers (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) can be cured. Melanoma is more likely to spread to nearby tissues and other parts of the body and can be harder to cure. Melanoma is easier to cure if the tumor is found before it spreads to the dermis (inner layer of skin). Being exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (from the sun and tanning beds) and having skin that is sensitive to UV radiation are risk factors for skin cancer. Regular exams of the skin by both you and your doctor increase the chance of finding skin cancer early. As a general rule, take note of any new moles or growths and any existing growths that begin to grow or change significantly in any other way. Lesions that change, itch, bleed or don’t heal are also alarm signals. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends watching for the ABCDEs: Asymmetry (two halves don’t match), Border (uneven edges), Color (multiple colors), Diameter (larger than ¼ inch) or Evolving (changes in size, shape or color). Report any suspicious spots to your health care provider ASAP! www. skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma/melanomawarning-signsand-images/do-you-know-your-abcdes#panel1-3.

Tobacco

Tobacco addiction is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. Smoking causes many chronic diseases, such as lung cancer and many other forms of cancer; heart disease; and respiratory diseases, including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. Smoking and smokeless tobacco also increases the risk for fractures, dental diseases, sexual problems, eye diseases and peptic ulcers. However when people quit smoking, their bodies begin to recover and their risk for smoking-related diseases decreases over time. Although people who smoke will never be as healthy as they would have been had they never smoked at all, risks continue to decrease the longer they stay smoke free!

Primary & Specialty Care Providers Most often primary care is provided by a family practitioner, pediatrician or an internist. There are also providers of health care other than physicians who render primary care services. Such providers may include nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) who collaborate with physicians concerning a patient’s health care. A personal primary care provider serves as the entry point for substantial all of the patient’s medical and health care needs – not limited by problem origin, organ system or diagnosis. Primary care physicians are advocates for the patient in coordinating the use of the entire health care system to benefit the patient. Primary care providers may refer patients to “Specialty Care or Specialists” are needed. Physicians may become board certified by completing training in a particular specialty area and passing an examination to demonstrate that he or she has the skills and experience to practice within that specialty. Board certified physicians must maintain their certification by passing periodic examinations. All providers, MD, NP and PA’s must take continuing medical education courses to remain skilled in their field.

Maximizing Your Visit to a Health Care Provider

An appointment with a health care provider generally includes an examination and information on how to take care of your health. This information may include instructions on how to take medication, signs and/ or symptoms to watch for or how to follow a specifically prescribed diet and exercise program. Often, there is a lot of information to take in. Here are some helpful hints on how to maximize your visit:

• Be prepared with information, questions and other observations. Write them down before you go so you don’t forget them. • Take notes during your appointment if need be to help you recall the information discussed with you. • Bring along a family member or friend to assist you with the recall of information provided. Two heads are better than one particularly if you are not feeling well. • Make sure that you are comfortable with and understand the provider’s advice. Good communication is an important part of quality health care. • Don’t be intimidated by your provider. A good provider encourages your questions and welcomes your input into your care. • If you have any doubts about the provider’s advice, don’t be afraid to get a second or even a third opinion. Ask your provider for a recommendation or talk with family or friends. • Ask for patient eduction material or other available resources to supplement the notes taken during your appointment.
