Th ough Healthcare Has Evolved Signifi cantly, CMC’s Desire To Be Th e Provider Of Choice On Th e Cumberland Plateau Remains Firm
Cumberland Medical Center has a rich history that began with the dream of Dr. May Cravath Wharton. Since 1950 the focus has been on quality care provided in a patient-centric environment, and the Board of Directors is deeply committed to the hospital’s mission and vision while understanding the importance of the community’s trust when it comes to healthcare.
“CMC is invested in our community,” said Debi Davis, Exec. Director of Physicians Relations at Cumberland Medical Center, “and deeply impacts the local economy through jobs, purchase of goods and services, donations, and involvement in charities and health-related fund-raising events such as the American Heart Association “Heart Walk“ and the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life.“
Cumberland Medical Center is a not-for-profi t regional hospital. “Over the years, CMC has grown to meet the needs of our community and adapted to the many changes in healthcare,” said Davis. “Our state of the art regional cancer center, regional breast center, hyperbaric medicine and wound center, sleep center, award-winning wellness complexes, primary and specialty physicians group, cardiac cath lab, home health and medical equip-ment services in addition to our general/surgical and emergency ser-vices meet a vast array of health and wellness needs of our community and allow residents to remain close to home and their loved ones.”

Taking care of your vision should be a priority, just like eating healthy and en-gaging in physical activity. Having healthy vision can help keep you safe when you are driving, while at work, home or school, participating in sports, or taking part in recreational activities. Fortunately, many
eye problems and diseases can be treated if caught early.
To make sure you keep seeing clearly, get a comprehensive dilated eye exam as often as your eye care professional recommends. An eye care professional will examine your eyes for signs of vision
problems or eye diseases. It’s the best way to fi nd out if you need glasses or contacts, or are in the early stages of an eye disease.
You should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam regularly to check for common eye problems. If you haven’t had an exam for some time, schedule one this month. CDC’s Vision Health Initiative and the National Eye Institute are encour-aging Americans to take care of their eyes to make sure they can see well throughout their lives.
Visit an eye care professional if you have decreased vision, eye pain, drain-age or redness of the eye, double vision, or diabetes, or if you see fl ashes of light, fl oaters (tiny specks that appear to fl oat before your eyes), or circles (halos) around light sources.
Th ere are nine ways you can help protect your vision:
1. Get a comprehensive dilated
eye exam for yourself and your family members.
2. Know your family’s eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease or condition, since many are hereditary.
3. Eat right to protect your sight—in particular, eat plenty of dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens, and fi sh that is high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, albacore tuna, trout and halibut.
4. Maintain a healthy weight. 5. Wear protective eyewear when
playing sports or doing activities around the home, such as painting, yard work, and home repairs.
6. Quit smoking or never start. 7. Wear sunglasses that block 99

A Continuing Care Retirement CommunityUplands Village is a vibrant
Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) built on a strong pioneering spirit and a rich tradition of providing quality healthcare in Cumberland County. It all began with one remarkable woman, Dr. May Cravath Wharton, who came here in 1917 to serve as school physician at Pleas-ant Hill Academy.
Soon “Dr. May” began ministering to the healthcare needs of the surrounding community, traveling on foot or by mule into the remote hills and “hollers” to pro-vide medical help. Seeing a need for better healthcare services, she established clinics in outlying areas and a small hospital in Pleasant Hill. Believing that a larger hos-pital located in Crossville could serve more people, in 1950 she founded what is now the 189-bed Cumberland Medical Center.
“Come Up Higher”Th is visionary woman also saw the
need to house and care for those who had spent their lives in service to others, and in 1957 turned her attention to building the original Wharton Nursing Home and the fi rst independent-living cottages surrounding it.
Dr. May was fond of a poem by James Clark entitled “Th e Call,” which reads, “I saw the mountain stand... And I heard a low voice calling / ‘Come up higher, come up higher’...” From this she adopted the name “Uplands” for her community.
Uplands Village today is a not-for-profi t organization dedicated to continuing the legacy of this remarkable “Doctor Woman of the Cumberlands,” and to remaining a pioneer in the fi eld of eldercare. It off ers a full service continuum of care – from independent living home
health care, to assisted living, intermedi-ate and skilled nursing care - all on 500 picturesque acres in western Cumberland County.
INTERMEDIATE NURSING CARE: Uplands Village is licensed with the State of Tennessee to provide intermediate, long-term nursing care in its new Wharton Homes. While most nursing homes have an institutional look and feel, Wharton Homes are signifi cantly diff erent. Each of the four separate homes provide personalized care to just 15 or 16 elders, who live in private and semi-private rooms opening onto a common living and dining space.
Wharton Homes opened in July 2010 as the fi rst and only registered Eden Alternative facility in central Tennessee. Th e four distinct homes were intentionally designed and are programmed on Eden Care’s 10 Guiding Principles, committed to remaking the experience of aging and eliminating the “three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom.” Th e daily pro-gram includes restorative nursing as well as meaningful activities in an environment that aff ords social interaction with fellow residents, staff , and many Uplands Village volunteers.
SKILLED NURSING CARE: Wharton Homes are Medicare certi-fi ed, allowing full rehabilitative therapies using an elder’s Medicare A and B and Hospice benefi ts. Uplands partners with Functional Pathways, a Knoxville-based therapy group, who off er on-site physical, occupational and speech therapies. Skilled nursing patients have access to all the same services and amenities as long-term

Simple Steps To Reduce Fall RisksEvery year, one in three adults over
age 64 falls. Th ousands of older adults die from fall injuries every year and about two million are treated for nonfatal fall injuries in emergency departments. But simple home modifi cations and exercises that improve strength and balance can help reduce the risk of falling.
“Half of falls occur in a person’s home. Falls are the main reason older people go to emergency departments,” says Steve Albert, PhD, co-director of the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh Prevention Research Center (PRC).
Th e PRC is part of a nationwide network of 37 academic and community research partners funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to fi nd ways to keep people healthy. Several PRCs conduct research on ways to help older adults avoid falling. Dr. Albert is comparing the eff ectiveness of two fall-prevention programs, and health agencies will use fi ndings in choosing which program to off er.
“Most falls involve changing location, such as while walking or moving from a
bed or chair,” says Dr. Albert. “Sometimes, falls happen when someone carries laundry down stairs without a railing.”
“Stairs are a challenge for people with balance problems,” says Elizabeth Phelan, MD, a University of Washington PRC researcher who runs a fall-prevention clinic in Seattle. Because evidence shows that people can reduce their fall risk by im-proving balance and strength, Dr. Phelan refers many patients to EnhanceFitness, an exercise class developed by the Washing-ton PRC. Proven to improve balance and strength, EnhanceFitness is off ered at 450 sites nationwide.
Older adults who have already experienced a fall are at risk for more falls, Dr. Phelan says. She is researching the fea-sibility of emergency medical technicians’ providing fall-prevention information when responding to fall-related 911 calls. Acting on such information may reduce callers’ risk of future falls.
Dr. Phelan says the psychological

Mammograms Help Prevent Breast CancerBreast cancer is the most common
cancer among women in the U.S. and the second leading cause of cancer death among women. Every year, about 200,000 new cases of breast cancer are reported na-tionwide and more than 40,000 women die from the disease. Getting mammograms regularly can help prevent breast cancer.
Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Th e growth becomes uncontrollable without treatment, ultimately resulting in the formation of a tumor. A tumor can be either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancer-ous). Related to this description, a cancer growth can also be non-invasive (confi ned to the infected area) or invasive (spread to surrounding breast tissue), which determines the severity of disease upon detection.
Breast cancer is preventable with early detection. According to Vital Signs, a special publication of CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), more than 7 million women have not had a recent mammogram, an X-ray of the breasts, to screen for breast cancer as rec-ommended. Mammograms can fi nd breast cancer early, before it is large enough to feel or cause physical symptoms. All women
aged 50 to 74 should have a mammogram every two years, and those between 40 and 50 years should talk with their doctor about when to start screening.
Breast cancer risk is linked to age, ethnicity, and family history of disease. Th e risk of cancer increases with age. Although white women are more likely to get breast cancer, African American women are the most likely to die of it. Minority women are most likely to have advanced breast cancer when the cancer is fi rst discovered. Women of other ethnic backgrounds (Asian, Hispanic, and Native American) have a lower risk of developing and dying from breast cancer than white women and African American women. If a close family member (e.g. mother, father, grandmother, sister, or aunt) has had breast cancer, the risk for other family members getting breast cancer may b e higher. If you think you may be at increased risk, ask your doctor if you should be tested earlier or more frequently than standard recom-mendations.
For more information about breast cancer or to fi nd out how to get a free or low-cost mammogram, go to www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast , or call CDC at 1-800-CDC-INFO.

and two-room suites. In addition to a well-appointed dining room, it has a library, beauty salon, sewing and crafts room, cozy sitting areas, and a spacious all-purpose room where the whole Uplands com-munity can gather for programs, classes, parties and other events.
INDEPENDENT LIVING: Uplands Village off ers singles and couples over 55 years of age the opportunity to purchase their own homes (single family or duplex units.) Units range in price from $60,000-$200,000. Benefi ts include 24/7 home health care provided by licensed nurses, on-site respite care and outpatient Medicare B therapies, priority access with member discounts to Uplands assisted living, intermediate and skilled nursing services, scheduled transportation, lawn care, dining options overseen by a full-time registered dietician, exercise equipment and classes, and enough opportunities for volunteer service, life-long learning, entertainment, recreation and other activi-ties to make you wonder whether you’ve really retired.

consequences of falls should not be under-estimated. “People who fall may develop a fear of falling,” she says. “And because of that they may start limiting their activity, and that leads to what I call a vicious cycle or a downward spiral of worsening muscle weakness and an increased propensity for falls.”
“A lot of older people don’t recognize that falls can, in a fl ash, change their independent lifestyle,” says Dr. Phelan. “Many older adults can no longer live on their own if they have suff ered serious fall-related injuries.”
People should address fall hazards when they’re young so they can live at home as long as possible — a concept called “aging in place,” says Marcia Ory, PhD, a Texas A&M Health Science Center PRC researcher.
Dr. Ory also works with the Healthy Aging Research Network (HAN), funded by the CDC’s Healthy Aging Program. Th e HAN is a group of PRCs that focus on developing, testing, and disseminating
eff ective strategies for keeping older adults healthy and independent. A booklet that describes the network’s structure and mis-sion as well as presents selected accom-plishments is available at http://www.cdc.gov/prc/program-material/booklets.htm. “Th e mantra for the HAN is ‘always plan for the future’” Dr. Ory says.
Some older adults associate instal-lation of safety equipment, such as grab rails in the bathroom, with “becoming frail and dependent” says Dr. Ory. “But if the safety equipment had already been there, they might not think about it as a stigma,” she says.
Dr. Ory studies how to implement eff ective fall-prevention programs and policies. “Many states off er fall-prevention screening, referrals, and programs, but more off erings are needed,” she says. “Older adults and their caregivers should ask their health care providers and public health agencies about these programs.”
A compendium of evidence-based programs to prevent older adult falls can be found at www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecre-ationalSafety/Falls/compendium.html.

No matter where you travel for healthcare services, you can be CLOSE TO HOME. The choice is YOURS. Make Livingston Regional your choice for professional, convenient care.
Varicose veins aff ect half of the people over age 50 and can start earlier, for example, following pregnancy in women.
You may notice the darkened leg veins fi rst as a cosmetic nuisance, a reason not to wear shorts. But for some people, varicose veins and related conditions can lead to signifi cant leg pain, swelling and diffi culty sleeping, along with more serious complications such as wounds, ulcers and dangerous blood clots.
Livingston Regional Hospital can help provide relief and long-term solutions for venous diseases.
“We are off ering the complete line of vein services with an experienced doctor and support staff . Plus, we can draw from the additional resources of the hospital and collaborate with the wound clinic when we need to,” says Livingston Regional’s CEO, Michael Meadows. “If people think they have problems with their veins, they should contact us for a consultation and screening.”
Not everyone who suff ers from venous disease sees the darkened veins close to the skin’s surface that are commonly known as varicose veins – or spider veins when they are lighter. Yet they may experi-ence other symptoms such as pain and swelling in their legs and ankles, especially at the end of the day. “Th eir legs feel restless or ache, feel heavy and sore,” says Dr. Klepper. “Some people get home at night,
and their legs hurt so much they can’t exercise or go for a walk.”
Th at’s a warning sign that deeper veins inside the leg muscles have become weakened, with blood possibly pooling or leaking outside the vein instead of fl owing eff ectively to the heart.
A vascular surgeon can pinpoint trouble spots within the deeper veins through ultra- sound tech-nology then provide a long-term fi x with a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. “Th is helps resolve problems and prevents others from developing,” says Dr. Klepper. “Patients who have the procedure are much less likely to develop ulcers or even discoloring skin changes.”

Taking care of your eyes also may benefi t your overall health. People with vision problems are more likely than those with good vision to have diabetes, poor hearing, heart problems, high blood pres-sure, lower back pain and stroke, as well as have increased risk for falls, accidents, and depression. Among people age 65 and older, 54.2 percent of those who are blind and 41.7 percent of those with impaired
vision say their overall health is fair or poor. Just 21.5 percent of older Americans without vision problems reported fair to poor health.
Although older adults tend to have more vision problems, preschoolers may not see as well as they should. Just one out of seven preschoolers receives an eye screening, and fewer than one out of four receives some type of vision screening. Th e U.S. Preventive Services Task Force rec-ommends vision screening for all children
ages 3 to 5 years to fi nd conditions such as amblyopia, or lazy eye, which can be treated eff ectively if caught early.

CRMC Still Striving To Improve Th eir Technology And Services For Heart CareAlmost 20 years after opening in
1994, the Heart and Vascular Center at Cookeville Regional is still growing and expanding with no signs of slowing down, all while earning national accolades for clinical excellence and continuing to improve the care patients receive. And it’s the only accredited chest pain center in the region with PCI (commonly known as coronary angioplasty) capabilities.
From heart catheterization pro-cedures such as angioplasty, to electro-physiology procedures treating heart arrhythmias, to complex heart bypass surgery, the heart program at Cookeville Regional off ers a comprehensive list of services to treat heart disease. Utilizing these services to treat patients are nine cardiologists, including one electrophysi-ologist (specializing in arrhythmias), three cardiovascular/thoracic surgeons and four vascular surgeons.
Eff orts continue at Cookeville Re-gional, through the cardiologists, hospital staff and community partners, to develop a network of care for heart attack patients throughout the Upper Cumberland region. By working with area emergency medical services (EMS) and hospitals, the
heart program at Cookeville Regional has implemented the “Code 37 protocol” that EMS and hospital staff at other hospitals may activate as soon as it is evident that a patient is experiencing a heart attack. When EMS or another hospital calls a “Code 37” the heart team at Cookeville Regional immediately takes action to receive that patient and begin lifesaving treatment within minutes. Many counties in the Upper Cumberland participate in this network of care. As a result, heart attack patients receive fast treatment that not only saves lives, but also saves precious heart muscle that is crucial for quality of life following a heart attack. Th e average time for stopping heart attacks at Cookev-ille Regional, from the time the patient arrives at the hospital to the time the heart attack is stopped, is 44 minutes.
Beating the gold standard for stop-ping heart attacks by more than half, it’s no wonder that the Cookeville Regional heart program has been recognized two years in a row as being number one in Tennessee for coronary interventional procedures
(heart catheterizations, angioplasties, etc.) and among America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Services by HealthGrades, the nation’s largest healthcare ratings fi rm.
On the technology front, Some of the newest technology available in the fi eld of heart care is being used at Cookeville Regional. One of only 695 hospitals nationwide, Cookeville Regional now off ers minimally invasive implantation of the Impella® 2.5, the world’s smallest heart pump. Smaller in circumference than a pencil, the pump can be inserted within minutes through a small hole in the leg and up through the aorta into the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart, to deliver 2.5 to 5 liters of blood per minute right into the root of the aorta.
Expanding services to treat blocked heart arteries, Cookeville Regional now off ers rotational atherectomy using the Rotablator® device. Atherectomy is a pro-cedure that relieves symptoms of coronary artery disease by improving blood fl ow to the patient’s heart. Rotational atherec-tomy is recommended when a balloon angioplasty would not be strong enough to push away hardened, calcifi ed plaque, or when plaque is so unstable that a stent or
angioplasty might cause it to dislodge.For patients who are at risk for sud-
den cardiac arrest, the LifeVest® wearable defi brillator is available at Cookeville Regional. Th e LifeVest® continuously monitors the patient’s heart, and if a life-threatening arrhythmia is detected, the device delivers a shock treatment to restore normal heart rhythm. About the size of a paperback book, the device is worn around the waist like a fanny pack or attached to a shoulder strap that is worn under the patient’s clothing.
“Th is region is so fortunate to have the high caliber of heart services available at Cookeville Regional Medical Center,” stated Paul Korth, CEO at Cookeville Regional. “We invest a good deal of our capital and resources in the heart program because we want people in our region to turn to us for their heart care. It’s true that we off er big town medicine with a small town touch. Our doctors often say that they are held to a higher level of account-ability because they will more than likely see that patient again outside the hospital somewhere in the community –whether it’s at a community event or church.”
Former TTU baseball coach David Mays thought he was just “out of shape” when he repeatedly became winded during a trip with his family to Hawaii. And instead of seeing it as a sign of trouble, he thought he needed to get more exercise.
“So we walked everywhere,” said Mays. “We even walked up to Diamond Head, and it’s a long way up there, and we walked all over Honolulu. I tried every-thing in the world to give myself a heart attack while I was in Hawaii, but the good Lord was watching over me.”
He soon began to feel pressure in his chest, as well, so when he returned home, he mentioned this and his short-winded-ness to his oncologist during a six-month follow-up exam for a lymphoma he had seven years ago.
“My oncologist had just come off of heart surgery,” said Mays. “I was telling him my symptoms, and he said, ‘I want you to see a heart doctor.’ Th is was on Th ursday. On Friday, he had me an appointment
with a heart doctor, and on Monday, I had surgery. Th at’s how quick it went.”
Mays fi rst saw Dr. Stacy Brewington, who discovered that Mays had four heart blockages. He referred Mays to Dr. Todd Chapman, who performed triple bypass surgery.
“Th ree of the arteries had 75-per-cent-plus blockages,” said Mays. “Th e fourth blockage was behind my heart, so it was hard to get to, but it had already started to form its own canal and all, so it was fl owing, and they don’t think we’re going to have to worry about it.”
Chapman removed two veins from Mays’ leg - one that ran from his ankle to his knee and one that ran from his knee to his groin - to replace the blocked vessels in his heart.
“It’s amazing ... a good friend of mine had heart surgery several years ago in Nashville and said he won’t even wear shorts anymore because the scar is about an inch and a half wide and goes way
down, but mine, you can hardly tell where they pulled them,” said Mays.
After surgery, Mays went through his recovery process at the CRMC Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center.
“I actually looked forward to go-ing into the rehab center,” said Mays. “Th ey really work hard at it, and they push you to make sure you’re doing everything that you should be do-ing, so it’s really a good group.”
Mays, who’s back to teach-ing bowling and golf and enjoy-ing the outdoors as he was before his surgery, thinks very highly of the staff at Cookeville Regional.
“I don’t know why anybody - especially with the rehab and all that you have to do after it’s over with - would want to drive to Nashville or Knoxville if they had heart problems or cancer, because Cookeville’s reputation precedes itself.”
Mays’ Only Sign Of Heart Problem Was Being ‘Winded’

Osteoporosis Is Most Common In Older Women; Take Preventative Steps
Osteoporosis can strike at any age, but it is most common in older women. Eighty percent of the people in the Unit-ed States with osteoporosis are women. One out of every two women and one in four men over age 50 will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis.
Are you at risk? Many risk factors can lead to bone loss and osteoporosis. Some of these things you cannot change and others you can.
Risk factors you cannot change:Gender. Women get osteoporosis more often than men. Age. Th e older you are, the greater your risk of osteoporo-sis. Body size. Small, thin women are at greater risk. Ethnicity. White and Asian women are at highest risk. Black and Hispanic women have a lower risk. Family history. Osteoporosis tends to run in families. If a family member has osteoporosis or breaks a bone, there is a greater chance that you will too.
Risk factors you can change: Calcium and vitamin D intake. A diet
low in calcium and vitamin D makes you more prone to bone loss. Activity level. Lack of exercise can cause weak bones. Smoking. Cigarettes are bad for bones, heart, and lungs. Drinking alcohol. Too much alcohol can cause bone loss and broken bones. Anorexia nervosa. Th is eating disorder can lead to osteoporo-sis. Sex hormones. Low estrogen levels due to missing menstrual periods or to menopause can cause osteoporosis in women. Low testosterone levels can bring on osteoporosis in men. Medication use. Some medicines increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Can you reduce your risk of osteoporosis?
Th ere are steps you can take to keep your bones healthy. To keep your bones strong and slow down bone loss, you can:
Eat a diet rich in calcium and vita-min D. Exercise. Not drink in excess or smoke. Talk to your doctor about bone health. Have a bone density test and take medication if appropriate.

What is longevity without health? Adults today are looking not only to extend their lives, but to enjoy their extra years. By 2030, the proportion of the U.S. population aged 65 and older will double to about 71 million older adults, or one in every fi ve Americans. Th e far-reaching implications of the increasing number of older Americans and their growing diversity will include unprecedented demands on public health, aging services, and the nation’s health care system. Th e
Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) works hard to protect health and promote quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability.
Getting VaccinatedSome older adults incorrectly
assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. CDC’s recommendations include: An annual infl uenza shot; One
dose of the shingles, or herpes zoster, vaccine for people aged 60 and older; Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine after age 65.
Eating Right & Staying in ShapeAs an older adult, regular physical
activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It helps your muscles grow stronger so you can keep doing your day-to-day activities without becoming dependent on others. Older adults need at least an equivalent mix of moderate and vigorous intensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthen-ing activities 2 or more days a week that works all major muscle groups.
Preventing High Blood PressureHigh blood pressure is often called
the ‘silent killer,’ because it usually has no noticeable warning signs or symptoms until other serious problems arise such as heart failure and stoke. Th ere are several things you can do to keep your blood pressure healthy including maintaining a healthy weight and diet, staying active, quitting smoking, controlling your alcohol consumption, and working to prevent or control your diabetes. Th ese actions
should become part of your regular lifestyle.
Cancer ScreeningEvery year cancer claims the lives
of more than half a million Americans. Among Americans aged 55-65, cancer is the number one cause of death and the risk for most cancers increase as you age.
DepressionDepression is a common and debili-
tating illness. Experts know that about 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic health condition, and 50 percent have two or more. Depression is more common in people who also have other illnesses (such as heart disease or cancer) or whose function becomes limited. Th e good news is that the majority of older adults are not depressed. Estimates of major depression in older people living in the community range from less than 1 percent to about 5 percent but rise to 13.5 percent in those who require home healthcare and to 11.5 percent in older hospital patients. Most adults see an improvement in their symptoms when treated with antidepressant drugs, psy-chotherapy, or a combination of both.

Breathe Easier With Knowledge About AsthmaDid you know that 1 in 10 Americans
has, or has had asthma at some point in their lives? Most people don’t die from asthma, but there is concern for African Americans because asthma is more likely to cause death. Th e reason for this disparity is not known. But there are asthma control techniques to help people manage their con-dition successfully. Th e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) off ers this important advice to everyone with asthma – have an asthma action plan and exercise it.
What is asthma?Asthma, a disease that aff ects your
lungs, is the most common long-term disease of children, but it also aff ects adults. Each day, 30,000 people have an asthma attack, 1,000 are admitted to the hospital, and 11 people die. Asthma causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and early morning or nighttime coughing.
What is an asthma attack?An asthma attack happens in your
body’s airways, which are the paths that carry air to your lungs. During an asthma attack, the sides of the airways in your lungs swell, and the airways shrink. Th e attack may include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing.
How is asthma diagnosed?Asthma can be hard to diagnose,
but regular physical checkups that include checking lung function and allergies can help your health-care provider make the right diagnosis. During a checkup, your health-care provider will ask whether you cough a lot, especially at night, and whether your breathing problems are worse after physical activity or during a particular time
of year. Health-care providers will also ask about other symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days and if anyone in your family has or has had asthma or other breathing problems.
How is asthma treated?Your health-care provider will help
you make an asthma action plan and stick to it. He or she may recommend a combina-tion of medication, environmental changes and behavior modifi cation. Not everyone with asthma has the same needs, and your needs may change as you get older, so it’s important to get regular check-ups.
What triggers asthma attacks?• Environmental tobacco smoke
- Parents, friends, and relatives of children with asthma should try to stop smoking and avoid smoking near a person with asthma or in their house or car.
• Dust mites - Dust mites are in almost everybody’s home, but they don’t cause everybody to have asthma attacks. Use mattress covers and pillow case covers, avoid down-fi lled pillows, quilts, or comforters and remove stuff ed animals and clutter from your bedroom.
• Mold - Get rid of mold in all parts of your home. Keep the humidity level in your home between 35 and 50 percent. In hot, humid climates, you may need to use an air conditioner or a dehumidifi er or both.
• Other triggers - Strenuous physical exercise; strong emotional states some medi-cines; bad weather such as thunderstorms, high humidity, or freezing temperatures; and some foods and food additives can trigger an asthma attack. Allergens such as pet dander, pollen, mold or cockroaches may also trigger attacks.

Home Health & Related Services GUIDE
Nearly one-third of adults living in Putnam, Cumberland, Overton, White and Jackson counties are family caregiv-ers who could be at risk for heart disease, diabetes, depression and various other physical and emotional maladies as a result of caregiver distress, a potentially danger-ous condition brought on by the pressures of caring for a senior loved one.
Studies increasingly point to caregiv-ing as a leading stressor for families. In response to this growing issue, the local Home Instead Senior Care® offi ce has launched a public awareness campaign – Family Caregiver Stress Relief at Family-CaregiverStressRelief.com – to help family caregivers determine if they are at risk for distress and to minimize problems before they escalate.
Included in the program are two new tools: Th e Are You a Caregiver Quiz, which is designed to help a family caregiver self-identify and recognize the role of a caregiver, and the Family Caregiver Dis-tress Assessment, adapted for the Home Instead Senior Care network by Dr. Peter Vitaliano of the University of Washington.
Th e assessment allows caregivers to deter-mine their risk for distress and resulting emotional and physical issues, including depression, heart disease, high blood pres-sure, diabetes and obesity.
“So many spouses and adult children are unaware of their potential risk of caregiver distress because they don’t see themselves as caregivers,” said Rob Brown, owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care offi ce. “Th ese new resources enable them to understand their role, the stresses they may face as a caregiver, and how that stress might lead to more serious health eff ects.”
Research shows that certain char-acteristics make family caregivers more vulnerable to caregiver distress, the top being:
• Gender: Women report more psychological distress than men (however, male caregivers have more negative physi-ological responses to caregiving, including higher blood sugar and insulin levels, poorer cholesterol and immune function, and obesity).
• Reluctance to ask for help: Caregiv-
ers who won’t ask for help are setting themselves up for the kind of exhaustion that can lead to distress.
• Chronic Illness: Caregivers who are already sick or have existing medical condi-tions, such as coronary disease, hyperten-sion and cancer, are more vulnerable to additional negative health eff ects resulting from caregiver stress.
“It’s important for caregivers to understand that stress can impact one’s
ability to care. If they don’t care for them-selves, they may put their senior loved ones at risk. Whether it’s support groups, stress management techniques or respite help, caregivers need to realize the importance of managing their health, too,” said Brown.
