Greetings!
You may notice a few changes in our newsletter this month. We updated the colors and we also made it easier for you to find us on our social media sites. Please take a moment to 'like us', 'follow us', 'visit us', and 'view us' by using the links in the left column.
We announced another birth control recall this week. Details are posted on our website at www.whg-pc.com. If you are unsure about your prescription, call your pharmacist (and use an alternative method of birth control). Recalls are posted immediately on our Facebook page and through a 'tweet'. We will post recalls on our website as well. It pays to stay connected!
Sincerely,
The Women's Health Group 303-280-2229/303-665-6016

Endometriosis can be a Pain |
| Endometriosis has a month to call its own and even though there isn't a Hallmark card for that, it is a common, yet complex disease that affects millions of women. Luckily, there are treatments available. You can read here for more information. If you are suffering from endometriosis (or think you might be), call for an appointment to discuss treatment options. Endometriosis can affect fertility, so if you are planning a family in the future, you will want to consult with a physician in advance.

 March is National Nutrition Month and it is the perfect time to try something new! Breakfast might not be your thing, but it is the most important meal of the day (heard that one before?).
Try these quick meals on the fly:
- Hardboiled eggs, (peeled at home), a few cheese cubes and a piece of fruit
- Greek yogurt with fruit and/or granola
- Turkey sandwich on whole grain bread
- Smoothie with almond milk, berries or other fruit and a handful of spinach or other favorite 'green' (you won't notice the spinach once it takes a whirl in the blender)
- Warmed whole wheat tortilla with beans and cheese can be wrapped up for flying out the door
Help your family conquer the day with a nutritious breakfast! For more ideas and information, check out the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association).

Effective March 15th, we will assess a monthly finance charge of 1.5% to unpaid balances. You will have 60 days from your first statement to pay your bill in full before the finance charge starts to accrue. If you have insurance, your first statement will be sent to you after the insurance portion is satisfied. Now is a good time to review your account to see if you can take care of your balance to avoid any finance charges. You still have time to take care of that balance before March 15 arrives.
To pay your bill online, please visit our patient portal at www.whg-pc.com and log into your secure patient account. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one in minutes and make your payment. Simply use the link to get to our home page and click on the 'Create an Account' link.
If you have questions about a billing statement, please call our billing department at 303-280-2229, Option 3, for assistance. |

EHR Deconstructed
Monthly glimpses at the patient benefits of electronic health records |
 Why do we want to take your picture? We ask you to say 'cheese' for photo identification in your electronic health record. Medical identity theft does occur and we want to make sure the woman in the picture matches the woman checking in for an appointment.
The United States Federal Trade Commission has useful information about medical identity theft here.
We are serious about your identity and take care to shred documents that contain identifying information. Electronic health records eliminate the need for a paper chart which is easily accessed in many offices. Our office recently requested an audit for potential security breaches and we are pleased to report we have a great system in place!We will report details of that report once it is complete.
