People's Health Clinic News
June 2011
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings!
This month we are excited to launch a special newsletter just for local business partners. Every two months, business owners who support The People's Health Clinic will receive a newsletter filled with health information to post on their staff bulletin boards.
There will be tips like how to stay healthy through the busy winter season, how to recognize the signs of chronic disease, and how important well-child visits are for the kids. If you'd like to become a partner, or know a business owner that might be interested, please let us know - sarah@phcpc.org. |

A Very Lucky Little Girl
Paula is a 10-year-old whose parents brought her to the Clinic one day with a sore throat. Volunteer pediatrician Guy LaMere noted she had an enlarged thyroid, and subsequent testing diagnosed Graves Disease, a serious autoimmune condition. Through consultation with Medical Director Bob Pellegrine and volunteer endocrinologist Robert Jones, Paula was referred to the Primary Children's Pediatric Endocrinology Department for evaluation. A treatment plan was established, with medication that would require ongoing monitoring by a specialist. Since Dr. Jones is a regular volunteer, Paula has been able to receive her treatments at PHC, rather than making trips to Salt Lake City for costly care. She is making steady progress and she and her parents and the Clinic are grateful for the teamwork of our volunteer specialists.

Fireman Andy Avery
Another volunteer shows there are many ways to help!
What do you do when your infant or toddler starts choking? How does a Spanish speaker make her needs understood when calling 911, where a Spanish option is not immediately available? Spanish-speaking Fireman Andy Avery has found an eager audience for his presentation on family safety and basic first aid. They are the students in the Spanish prenatal series at PHC, sponsored by Holy Cross Ministries.
One session of each 7-week series is devoted to Andy's message - you can take charge of your family's safety. Students learn basic CPR for infants and adults - although it's not an official course, Andy takes the opportunity to teach the basics and to let the mothers-to-be practice with dummies. And first aid for bleeding, recognizing and responding to seizures, "stop, drop and roll", using smoke detectors - this is the information a young mother needs to keep the family safe. We thank Andy and the Park City Fire District for bringing this great program to PHC. | |

Volunteer of the Month - Eric Fiedler - Vitals Taker
Our volunteers have busy lives, yet they still make time for our patients!
 | | Eric reviews current medications with a patient as he checks her in. |
When we asked Eric to tell us a little more about himself for the article, here's what he wrote:
Well, I just took the MCATs (for medical school) a couple of weeks ago. I'm busy with school, work and medical school applications. We try to make time for fun too. Kristen (Eric's wife) just got a new mountain bike, and we like to go for rides with the dog. It's about the only way we can tire him out. Last weekend I got the garden planted, and I'm really looking forward to some fresh tomatoes.
I know Kristen will be up at the Clinic this week, and I'll be back to my once-a-week stint the week after. See you soon! Eric
