SPECIALTY CLINIC OPENS

Friday, February 8th our patients were first seen in

the new Specialty Clinic area. MHLC is so excited

to have this additional

space to meet the needs of

our continually growing

Specialty Clinic. Audiolo-

gy, Orthopaedics and

Nephrology will be seeing

their patients in this area

having five exam rooms to

be able to see the patients

in a timely manner.

MHF DONATION

MHLC is very appreciative to the Memorial

Healthcare Foundation for donating $20,000 to

help ease the cost of furnishing the new Specialty

Clinic exam rooms with exam tables, medical

equipment and other necessary items to get this ar-

ea up and ready to see patients. Thanks MHF for

your continued support.

We bring together our collective strengths, our minds and our hearts

to champion the health and well-being of every person who calls our beautiful community home.

MHLC’s first annual

Men’s Health Aware-

ness Event was held on

Thursday, February

28th. We were over-

whelmed with the awe-

some community sup-

port with over 100

guests attending.

Presentations started with Alex Erickson, Cincinnati Bengal's

wide receiver talking on why your health should be a priority.

Dr. Matt Solverson discussed heart health, heart attacks and

strokes-signs and preventions. Dr. Ian Stormont discussed is-

sues unique to men, and some of the secondary issues spouses

may encounter. From the little blue pill to the newest least intru-

sive solutions to the nighttime trips to the bathroom. Dr. Dan

Stormont wrapped the presentations with the mental/cognitive

benefits of physical activity. He addressed the pros and cons of

your leisure and work activities, and realistic expectations of ac-

tivities in the face of arthritis and other medical issues. We had

delicious snacks provided by MHLC’s Dietary and Avon Locker.

DECREASED

care by an average

of 25% for 2019! MHLC reviewed our charges for primary care and to better serve

our patients made the decision to decrease charge pricing in the primary care clinics by an average of 25% starting 1/1/19.

decrease that burden on our patients.
