Getting an A+ on Teen Physicals

Annual physicals confirm that your child is growing and developing appropriately. The teen years are a critical time for well-visits, as this is one of the greatest periods of developmental growth that your child will experience, second only to their first year of life. It is vital for an adolescent / teen to establish a relationship with their doctor. Most pediatricians will spend some time interviewing an adolescent alone during their appointment. Although some parents may express resistance, it is important for an adolescent to have a physician with whom they can confide in and discuss difficult issues that may arise in the future.

The Drive for a New Mobile Health Unit

Healthy Fall Recipe

In order to address the critical health needs of Orange County’s seniors, the homeless population and those without access to care. The Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center has greatly improved access for patients by offering mobile healthcare.

We are able to provide preventative care to treat a number of diseases, in addition to offering general health screenings, vaccinations and dental screenings where these services are needed most. The demand and response has been tremendous - often providing our services at multiple locations in a single day.

However, we are limited by the inefficiencies of our current mobile health vehicle. By purchasing a new mobile unit we will be able to provide these services year round, regardless of weather conditions. To donate or find out how you can help, please visit www.ghvfhc.org/how-to-help

A $10,000 grant awarded by CVS Health is enabling the expantion of our Living Well with Diabetes and Chronic Disease Self-Management programs.

Living Well with Diabetes is a 12-week provider-led workgroup that teaches participants how to better control their diabetes and related symptoms through diet, physical activity, stress management, and ongoing self-care. Chronic Disease Self-Management is a six-week, evidence-based program developed using a Stanford University model that helps patients better manage and overcome the symptoms that can prevent them from leading active and fulfilling lives. For more on these and other programs, please visit www.ghvfhc.org

the health and wellness series, as she has learned how to implement gratitude into her daily life. She also formed a lasting friendship.

During the class, participants were asked to list something they could use and something they could do to make their situation more manageable. Pam’s classmate, Tony, men-tioned that a cart would be of great help to him, as he has difficulty walking, and Pam offered him hers.

To say thank you, Tony wrote Pam a letter of gratitude during one of their class assignments.

“It was such a moment for both of us… His letter meant so much to me. It’s one of those moments you can’t exchange. This cart was always meant for him,” said Pam.

Pam wanted to give back to the Health Center that has helped her so much and is now a volunteer at themonthly Farm Stand.

Getting an A+ on Teen Physicals

Annual physicals confirm that your child is growing and developing appropriately. The teen years are a critical time for well-visits, as this is one of the greatest periods of developmental growth that your child will experience, second only to their first year of life. It is vital for an adolescent / teen to establish a relationship with their doctor. Most pediatricians will spend some time interviewing an adolescent alone during their appointment. Although some parents may express resistance, it is important for an adolescent to have a physician with whom they can confide in and discuss difficult issues that may arise in the future.
