Annual Check Up

#Fitness Friday
It’s easier to stay active in the summer but as the season starts to change it can be more difficult to keep moving.
Walking is one of the easiest ways to exercise outside and a great way to fit in movement throughout the day. This fall, plan activities that involve walking such as apple-picking, hunting for the perfect pumpkin or simply enjoying the beautiful autumn colors in your neighborhood.
If you need more tips or support in staying active, talk with your family doctor. They can support you with your fitness goals and connect you with fitness resources.

World Alzheimer’s Day
Typically, Alzheimer’s disease begins with lapses of memory, difficulty in finding the right words for everyday objects or mood swings.
As Alzheimer’s progresses, the person may:
- Routinely forget recent events, names and faces and have difficulty in understanding what is being said
- Become confused
- Undergo personality changes
- Experience mood swings
Talk with your doctor about symptoms you or your loved one might be experiencing.

Fight Procrastination
We want to remind you to keep your health on the front burner. As you make your to-do list, remember to add any medical appointments or exams you have been putting off.
Regular and timely visits to your doctor can help you stay on top of your health.
