WISHing You Well
An informative health communique for our patients and their families |

Issue No. 17, Spring 2012 |

WISHing you a Healthy Spring
Thank you for your choosing Women's Integrated Services in Health for your primary care. Here are a few quick updates:
A.F. Williams Family Medicine Center in Stapleton is the first primary care practice at the University of Colorado Hospital to create a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and achieve the highest level of National Standards of Excellence ( NCQA level 3). It has been so successful that the rest of the UCH primary care clinics are following suit. In an effort to drive better patient outcomes, PCMH empowers patients to become an active participant with their doctor in the management of their own health. One of the biggest examples of how PCMH is effective is in the treatment of diabetes. Your care will improve as we all move to adopt this model of excellence.
Our Let's Talk: Conversations About Women's Health lecture series is gaining momentum. Our second lecture of the three part series for this year filled the house. On February 6th experts presented on Cardiovascular health, Bone health and Exercise. We invite and encourage you and your daughter's to attend our next event in May for more Talk...
In this issue we have asked the subject matter experts to write articles on topics you suggested. Read articles about:
- Diabetes and How UCH Primary Care practices are working together help you improve your health outcomes.
- Human Papilloma Virus ( HPV) and Why the HPV vaccine is so important.
- Osteoporosis and Bone Health.
- The IMAGE Group; How Research Guides Doctors to Care for Women.
WISH makes a commitment to educate women on health. To facilitate this goal we have engaged a community educational outreach program and created a Library of Articles. Connect to this electronic archive and read good information on health topics. Print out a copy of our tools:
- Be Active Your Way is a tool to track your physical activity
- Know Your Numbers helps you understand your cholesterol

 Many women who seek care in our practices ask about the safety and efficacy of the Human Papilloma Vaccine. Over 40 million doses of the vaccine have been given in this country alone and over 100 countries have approved each of the vaccines worldwide. At this time there are no concerns that the vaccine causes any serious problems or is related to any concerning illness in vaccine recipients. Read more about why the vaccine is so important.
