    from the valley healthSYSTEM SUMMER 2018 Helpful tips FOR YOUR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY WARREN WOLFE SHARES THE KEY TO HIS RECOVERY INSIDE: Find specialized care for hard-to-heal wounds Join us for upcoming seminars, the Diabetes Fest and more! Compliments of Our bodies are amazing machines, and just like our well-used vehicles and appliances, they need repairs from time to time. Our knees, hips, spines, shoulders, elbows, feet and ankles are often taken for granted until something wears down or breaks. Sometimes orthopedic surgery is an emergency, and other times, it’s your choice to have a knee or hip replacement, spine surgery or rotator cuff repair. If orthopedic surgery is in your future, this edition will prove invaluable. First, we introduce you to Warren Wolfe, who underwent successful spine surgery, followed by inpatient rehabilitation at Valley Hospital. We also brought together orthopedic surgeons, nurses and physical therapists to provide helpful tips. We highly encourage anyone considering joint surgery to attend one of our Joint Camps (see page 4 for details). To enhance your recovery, we offer outpatient physical therapy at Centennial Hills, Desert View, Spring Valley and Summerlin hospitals. In this edition, we also discuss the importance of wound care. Pahrump resident Phil Schultz received effective outpatient treatment at Desert View Hospital after visiting facilities in other states. Left untreated, a wound can morph into a more serious medical situation, so be sure to ask your physician for a referral to one of our wound care centers. Our goal is to always make the hospitals of The Valley Health System your number one choice.

    from the valley healthSYSTEM WINTER 2019 I’m Living Proof … there is fantastic cardiac care within The Valley Health System INSIDE: How acute rehab helped Lori Temple recover from a fall with confidence Mark your calendar for 2019 seminars and more! Compliments of Rodney Myrick tells about his lifesaving heart attack care. Tucked away in our chest, beating about 100,000 times per day and powering approximately 2,000 gallons of blood throughout our bodies, is our heart.* Most of us take this vital organ for granted, noticing it mostly after exertion, a bout of heartburn, a nightmare or – most seriously – chest pain. Our six Valley Health System hospitals are all accredited chest pain centers, and devoted to the rapid diagnosis, intervention and treatment of chest pain. We want everyone to know the signs and symptoms of a possible heart attack, and have included them at the bottom of this page. Listening to our bodies and getting the medical help we need is vitally important, whether we are identifying a potential problem or recovering from a medical condition with support from providers and rehab professionals. To help the community stay informed about important health topics, we provide opportunities throughout the year to learn and get involved. Take a look at our upcoming calendar of events for 2019 – it’s packed with great programming featuring physicians and experienced hospital staff sharing helpful, informative health information. We also offer a monthly Senior Advantage e-newsletter, which includes more information about special events, support groups and cardiac education. To join our Senior Advantage program, visit valleyhealthsystemlv.com/sa.
