Feb 2, 2016 Finger Lakes Connected Enewsletter
So.....Any bets on the groundhog? I'm thinking he WON'T see his shadow and Spring is closer. That's not as fun as betting on football, is it?  Happy February, Happy Groundhog Day and Go Broncos!  
Enjoy this week's Finger Lakes Connected!

On Sunday, Feb. 14, UR Medicine's Thompson Hospital will offer a one-hour class for children who will soon have a baby brother or sister born at Thompson. Developed for 3- to 10-year-olds, this 4 p.m. class includes a tour of the hospital's Birthing Center, a "visit" with a newborn, a video about changes to expect, and practice sessions regarding how to hold and diaper a baby. In addition, parents will receive information about how to help further prepare a future sibling at home, before the baby's birth.  The cost for a parent and one child is $10. There is an additional $5 charge for each additional child. Although class is specifically designed for the child, parents are required to stay in attendance.  Space is limited. To register, call (585) 396-6497.


Important Questions for Your Pharmacist
A visit to your local pharmacy can be more than just a quick stop to pick up your prescription or over the counter medication. It is also a convenient time to have a conversation with your pharmacist about your medications. Pharmacists are trained to help patients manage medications and be the primary source of information - not the Internet.
Questions to ask the Pharmacist:
1, What is the name of the medication and what is it supposed to do?
2. When and how do I take it?
3. What are possible side effects and what should I do if they occur?
4. Will the new medicine work safely with the other medications and supplements that I take?
5. What foods, beverages or activities should I avoid while taking a new medication?
Stop into the only independent pharmacy Canandaigua The Medicine Shoppe to talk to our professional and knowledgeable pharmacist staff-Julie English/Kayla Loosmore.
Come see us at 66 West Ave or call us at (585) 396-9970
