Creamy pumpkin and curry spice combine for a flavorful soup that’s good for you!

3 cups water 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 1 32-ounce can pumpkin puree 1 cup fat-free half-and-half Optional: dollop of sour cream and chives (for garnish)

Preparation tip: Soup may be prepared the day ahead. Cool to room temperature after adding pumpkin and half-and-half. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, blend then reheat to serving temperature, but do not boil.

Recipe courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fruits & Veggies Matter.

Preparation time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 4

Ingredients 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup finely chopped onion 1 cup diced celery2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 teaspoon curry powder 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

DirectionsMelt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and garlic; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in curry powder, coriander and crushed red pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add water and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes to develop flavors. Stir in pumpkin and half-and-half; cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Transfer mixture to food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until creamy. Serve warm or reheat to desired temperature. Garnish with dollop of sour cream and chives.

An influenza shot is recommended for everyone 6 months and older according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.* And because flu strains mutate from year to year and a shot’s ability to protect diminishes with time, an annual vaccination is advised.

Influenza can lead to pneumonia or other dangerous complications – primarily among the very young, the elderly,

pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions. So if you will live with or care for someone who is at high risk for

complications from the flu, getting vaccinated is especially important.

* People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, as well as certain other individuals, should not be vaccinated without first talking to their doctors.

Getting a flu shot is a key step to take in keeping yourself and those around you healthy this winter. It may be hard to avoid being exposed to sneezing and coughing – the most common ways to pass around flu viruses. So having a vaccination in the early fall – before the start of the flu season – is your best protection.

Healthy Hall ween!

TRICK-OR-TREAT STRATEGIESIf your child will be ringing doorbells throughout your neighborhood in traditional Halloween style, make sure that you feed him or her a healthy snack before heading out. Having a full stomach helps prevent snacking between stops and the stomachaches that can follow.

Prior to the holiday, let your trick-or-treaters know how much candy they will be allowed to keep and how many pieces they can eat each day, so they know their limits. When they return home with the loot, inspect all the goodies to make sure they haven’t been tampered with and toss anything that isn’t safely sealed. If there is more candy left over than the previously agreed-upon limit, throw it out or give it away.

COORDINATE A NEIGHBORHOOD PARTYAn alternative to the door-to-door route might be a neighborhood party. Talk with other families on your block and coordinate a Halloween potluck. A nearby park, school or community center can offer an inexpensive venue, plus the kids are safe and in a controlled environment.

Each family can use the money normally spent on candy to contribute healthy snacks, holiday crafts, games and prizes. Get kids involved in the planning, that way they will really be excited when you “get the party started.” Provide a small bag of treats at the end of the night to keep with tradition without going overboard.

ADULTS, STEP AWAY FROM THE CANDY DISHHow many “fun size” Butterfinger® bars does it take to equal a full-size Butterfinger bar? If your co-worker was kind enough to bring in Halloween extras, beware. By indulging in three of these fun size treats, you will consume about 300 calories (a full-size Butterfinger weighs in at 270 calories).

During candy-oriented holidays like Halloween, it’s important to monitor the extra treats you are eating. Start a food diary and count calories during these tempting times to help keep snacking in check. Better yet, drink plenty of water and make sure you have healthy meals and treats on hand so you have something close by when you’re hungry.

Follow these tips, and your Halloween will be happy and healthy!

HEALTHIER HALLOWEEN GOODIES

Halloween doesn’t have to be all about

calorie-laden treats. Kids may love getting

a neat toy instead, and there are many

healthy snacks that taste great, too.

Candy Alternatives• Stickers

• Bubbles

• Kazoos

• Hair bows

• Yo-yos

• Jewelry

• Coins

• Trading cards

• Rubber balls

Healthy Snacks• Cheese sticks

• Pretzels

• Granola bars

• Sugar-free gum

• Juice boxes

• Fruit cups

• Raisins/dried fruit

• Sunflower seeds

• Cheese and cracker packages

Who’s more likely to eat too much candy this Halloween – Spiderman (aka 8-year-old Benjamin) or Spiderman’s mom (aka 36-year-old Brenda)? The answer is: Both! It doesn’t matter how old you are, that overflowing bag full of tasty treats is hard to pass up. Fortunately, there are many tricks available to help you avoid the treat trap, not to mention excess calories.

End of life and life-threatening illness are not subjects we like to think about, much less discuss. But, if you were unable to speak or act on your own behalf, would anyone know about your healthcare wishes? Would family or healthcare providers know to what extent treatment should be administered or how invasive the treatments should be? Although it’s probably one of the more difficult discussions to have with loved ones, advance healthcare directive planning will help ensure that the decisions you make about your care are followed. Advance healthcare directives are legal documents that instruct family and healthcare professionals on your choices if you are unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to communicate.

HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEYThe person you appoint as your healthcare power of attorney will become legally able to speak for you if you become incapacitated or unable to speak for yourself. He or she is considered your agent in administering the wishes you have established before a medical emergency. Generally the agent is a spouse, child or other close family member or friend who you believe will follow your wishes as outlined in your advance healthcare directive.

It’s important to note that if you regain your ability to make your own decisions, the power of attorney no longer applies, and your agent will no longer act on your behalf.

PLAN AHEADBy planning ahead and drawing up advance healthcare directives you’ll take the anguish out of decisions your family may have to make on your behalf. Each state has different rules and regulations, so be sure to create and sign the correct documents for your state. In addition, it is recommended that you review your advance directives every two years, to make sure they still reflect your wishes.

Talk with your doctor about your plans as you write your advance directives. Because the doctor is familiar with medical interventions, he or she may have insight that will help you make decisions about what you want. Please contact Jeanne Hough, Otsego Memorial Hospital Medical Social Worker at (989) 731-2190 if you have questions.

WHAT IS A DNR: DO-NOT-RESUSCITATE ORDER?

A DNR order alerts medical professionals that you DO NOT

want cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed. This

means that if emergency personnel were called to a home or

community establishment and had knowledge of a patient’s

DNR order, they would not attempt CPR if the person’s

heartbeat or breathing stopped. Although a request for NO

CPR may be mentioned in a patient’s advance directives, that

document does not take the place of a DNR order. Please

remember that during an emergency, health professionals are

obligated to initiate CPR on everyone unless a physician order

specifically states otherwise. In other words, having an advance

directive will not alleviate healthcare personnel from their

legal obligation to perform CPR in the event of a cardiac or

respiratory emergency.

DNR orders are issued by physicians with the consent of the

patient, an authorized family member or friend. A DNR order

must be written and signed by the patient/patient advocate,

the patient’s physician and two witnesses.

Because CPR is an aggressive and sometimes painful

intervention, it’s recommended that patients seek further

education and information from healthcare providers to help

make these decisions. Often times, DNR orders are used for:

• People with terminal illnesses.

• People with serious or disabling conditions that they

are not expected to recover from (for example: multiple

organ failure).

• People who are elderly or very frail and would suffer

greatly as a result of CPR.

It is important to remember that a DNR order will not affect or

prevent other medical treatment. It only alerts professionals to

the decision to forego resuscitation. In addition, a DNR order

can be cancelled at any time and even may be suspended

during surgery. Contact your physician for more information.

What Is an AND order? AND stands for Allow Natural Death, a term that is starting

to become more widely used in place of a DNR order. This

new acronym suggests that a patient has decided that further

aggressive medical intervention may do more harm than good

and should not be attempted, a slightly different connotation

than a DNR order, which suggests that treatment is being

denied or withheld.

Many Americans suffer from musculoskeletal, orthopedic and neurologic conditions that prevent them from participating in normal activities of daily living at some point in their lives. Whether you have developed muscle strain caused by running, been diagnosed with arthritis, or have other neurologic conditions that impair your function, physical therapy may help you get on the road to recovery.

WHAT IS PHYSICAL OR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?Physical and Occupational Therapy encompasses the treatment, healing and prevention of injuries and disabilities. Physical and Occupational Therapists are experts in movement and function as well as techniques to improve independence in a person’s daily activities. They develop individualized treatment programs to help prevent injury from occurring or to slow the progression of conditions that result from injury, disease and other causes.

Physical and Occupational Therapists can help you improve the use of bones, muscles, joints and nerves through manual therapy, massage, exercise, heat, electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, ultrasound, magnetic fields and more. They offer advice on exercises to promote proper posture and body mechanics, how to improve ergonomics in the workplace, treat acute or chronic injuries, keep fit and how to participate in a home therapy program to maintain optimal health after the conclusion of outpatient therapy. Christopher Hope, the Director of Otsego Memorial Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services and a certified Occupational Therapist states, “Physical and Occupational Therapists can also offer instruction and techniques to maximize safety in the home while performing daily activities, thus helping people stay in their home environment in a safe, active and most independent manner.”

Could Physical or Occupational Therapy Help You?

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PHYSICAL THERAPYEveryone is different, so every therapeutic program is uniquely designed for each individual. The first step is to undergo a Physical or Occupational Therapy evaluation during which the therapist completes an assessment of your posture, gait, range of motion, strength, reflexes, Activities of Daily Living and more, depending on the injury or condition. This will help you and your therapist monitor and evaluate your progress towards your treatment goals.

DO YOU NEED OCCUPATIONAL OR PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Our therapists provide help for rehabilitating any part of the

body, and they can treat everyone from infants to the elderly.

Some of the most common reasons people seek physical

therapy include:

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Shoulder, arm or hand problems – including carpal

tunnel syndrome

• Arthritis

• Rehabilitation after serious injury – including work,

auto and sports injuries

• Amputations

• Sprains or muscle strains

• Fractures

• Burns

• Osteoporosis

• Knee, ankle or foot problems

• Postural problems – including scoliosis

• Newborn or infant disabilities

• Heart or stroke rehabilitation

• Ergonomic assessments

• Progressive neurological diseases

• Adaptive equipment and orthotic assessment

• Patient and family education to maintain the maximum

functional outcomes after Physical or Occupational Therapy

The treatment diagnosis identified by your referring physician will dictate the frequency of outpatient therapy visits. Typically your doctor and therapist may recommend 2-3 times week as needed to achieve your goals of:

• Pain relief• Strength and flexibility training• Proper postural alignment• Regaining movement or range of motion• Balance and coordination training• Fine motor control/coordination interventions• Splinting with custom made orthotics • Adaptive equipment to increase independence

with daily activities• Relaxation and stress relief techniques• And more

Your therapist will design an appropriate home exercise program for you and teach you methods and preventive measures you can follow at home or work based on your diagnosis to improve your condition. There is no standard timetable for finishing therapy. It all depends on the individual and his or her condition.

A TREATMENT ALTERNATIVEMore people are participating in physical and occupational therapy as a conservative first step alternative to using medications daily or having surgery. According to Hope, “Our patients have been very satisfied with the positive results of this kind of conservative treatment.” If you think you may be a candidate for Physical or Occupational Therapy, discuss your interest in therapy as an option with your physician. If you have further questions about Physical, Occupational or other rehabilition services offered at Otsego Memorial Hospital, contact Christopher Hope at (989) 731-2471.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Early Detection Saves LivesIt is estimated that one out of every eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in the course of her life.* Although the number of deaths from the disease has been declining, breast cancer causes more deaths in American women than any cancer other than lung cancer. Early detection is a powerful weapon against the disease. Whether you’re 20 years old or 70, there are steps you can take to detect breast cancer early, giving yourself a better chance of beating the disease.

THREE TYPES OF SCREENINGIn its early phases, breast cancer often doesn’t cause pain or easily noticeable symptoms. That’s why it can be so important to check for breast cancer even if you feel fine. According to David Miner, MD, an Obstetrics and Gynecologist at Otsego Memorial Hospital, “Routine screenings make it easier to find and treat breast disease at an earlier stage.”

• Breast self-exam. Beginning at age 20, you may consider starting a routine of breast self-exam, which means checking your own breasts and underarms once a month for lumps or changes in size and shape. The more familiar you are with the feel of your natural tissue, the more likely you are to notice changes. Be sure to report any changes to your doctor right away. Dr. Miner adds that developing a routine of self breast exams at an early age enhances later ability to detect early breast disease.

• Clinical breast exam. A clinical breast exam is done by a doctor or nurse who uses his or her hands to feel for lumps or abnormalities. Women age 20 to 39 should schedule a clinical breast exam at least once every three years. At age 40, talk to your doctor about beginning a regimen of yearly clinical breast exams.

• Mammogram. A mammogram, or X-ray of the breasts, is the best method for detecting breast cancer before there are outward signs. Having regular mammograms can lower your risk of dying from breast cancer. For women age 40 and older, the National Cancer Institute recommends a mammogram every one to two years. Your doctor can help you develop a schedule that takes into account your family history, the findings of previous screenings and your risk factors.**

ASSESS YOUR RISKThe two biggest risk factors for breast cancer are beyond your control. These factors are your gender and your age. Breast cancer is one hundred times more common in women than in men, and as a woman ages, her chances of developing breast cancer increase.

Another risk factor is family history. If you have a mother, sister or daughter who’s had breast cancer, your risk of developing the disease is doubled. However, most women who develop breast cancer (85%) do not have a family history of the disease.***

Lifestyle choices also affect your risk. Maintain a healthy weight, stay physically active and limit your alcohol consumption to help reduce your chances of developing breast cancer.

TAKE THE INITIATIVE Being proactive about your health screenings can save your life. At Otsego Memorial Hospital our specialists can help. We provide clinical exams, screenings, diagnostic testing and treatment. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Miner or either of his partners in practice, Lori Burke, MD, or Jessica Kiley, MD, please contact the OMH Medical Group Obstetrics and Gynecology office at (989) 731-2105.

mammography is associated with potential harms such as false-negative or false-positive results, the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that would never threaten a woman’s life and radiation exposure.
