EMC Offers New Service to Community
EMC Announces Sleep Lab Services
Do you snore? Are you excessively tired during waking hours? Have you been told that you stop breathing during sleep? Do you have a history of Hypertension, Diabetes, or Stroke? Are you overweight? Tell your doctor if you answered "yes" to any of these sleep specific questions. Your doctor may want to refer you for sleep services.
Sleep disorders affect millions of Americans and include a wide range of problems including sleep apnea, sleep walking, insomnia, and narcolepsy. Poor sleep due to a disorder can affect all aspects of a person's life from work performance to personal relationships. According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep is essential to helping maintian mood, memory and cognitive performance. Sleep also plays an importance in your physical health. Recent studies show a growing link between sleep disorders and a variety of serious health problems, including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. EMC Sleep Lab Nicole Atkins, CRNP of Evergreen Primary Care will initially see patients and develop a full sleep specific History and Physical to determine criteria for testing under the guidance of Dr. Geoffrey Lipscomb, D-ABSM who will interpret tests and serve as the Medical Director for Sleep Services. Patients will be scheduled and tested overnight in the sleep center located inside the Evergreen Medical Center's Diagnostics Building. About sleep studies Sleep studies are non-invasive painless studies. A Patient will be placed in a comfortable, private room to be studied overnight as they sleep. Trained sleep technicians will attach various sensors to monitor and record what their body does during sleep such as eye movements, snoring, oxygen levels, breathing rate, heart rate and muscle activity during sleep. For more information about the hospital's sleep lab services or any other services, please call 251-578-2480 or visit EMC online at www.evergreenmedical.org. |

HIPPY Celebrates Eight Years
HIPPY Conecuh will be having their eighth graduation this year. HIPPY stands for Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters and is a
nationally recognized home-based parent involvement school readiness program. The program works with parents of children ages 3, 4 and 5 years of age and provides free age-appropriate curriculum, storybooks, colored shapes, crayons, glue and scissors for each child. A trained Parent Educator takes these materials into the home and teaches the parent how to use them. The parent and child then work together to complete the lessons. There are thirty lessons in the 3- and 4-year old curriculum and 15 lessons in the 5- year old curriculum. One of the main goals of the HIPPY program is to prepare every child to be able to start to school ready to learn. HIPPY helps to empower parents to become their child's first and most important teacher!
The 3- and 4-year olds will receive a certificate and the 5-years olds will receive a diploma. Larry Lee who is a well-known author, presenter, community coach and is very active in rural development and rural education state wide will be the speaker.
The Conecuh County HIPPY program is supported by the Conecuh County Extension System Office and The Conecuh County Board of Education. The program is housed in the Extension office at 102 Liberty Street in Evergreen. The program began in 2006 and the number of children
and families, as well as home visitors have increased each year.
The data and progress reports have shown that the students who have been in the HIPPY program since the beginning of the program are at the top of their class.
For more information about this program, call 251-578-2762.
