What Nutritionists Eat

What's in a Name? Safer Care for One
  Ever wonder why you're asked to repeat your name and date of birth several times during your doctor's visit? The reason— because we want to keep you safe! Patient Safety Awareness Week was in March, but keeping our patients safe is a year-round focus of ours.

  While growing up, most of us were told, "Stand Up Straight!" or "Don't Slouch!" You may not have appreciated this pestering back then, but it turns out good posture is essential to your health and well-being. Kyle Coffey, PT, shares tips for good posture while you're standing, sitting and even sleeping.
