February is Heart Month

Despite many advances in the areas of heart disease prevention, detection and treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains our #1 cause of premature death-for both men and women. We all know what we are "supposed to do"-eat healthier foods, exercise more, decrease stress, avoid smoking....

Yet the challenge is transferring awareness into actions that will result in long term lifestyle improvements.

On a personal note, Marilyn and I thank you for joining our new practice. Change is difficult, but I believe he Medical Home Model can work in Peoria.

Optimizing the physician- -patient relationship, improving the quality of your health, and being available when you need us-that is our goal. Its only been a month, but I feel we are miving in the right direction.

Let us know about any ideas you have that can improve our practice-we want to hear from you!
