RRH Wellness Wednesday: Hematologist Dr. Ronald Sham + Monthly PBWF Pot-Luck
RRH Wellness Wednesdays feature Rochester Regional clinicians and experts sharing their experiences and knowledge in an effort to improve your health and wellness, and to help connect you with specialists when you’re interested in individualized care. Check each week for the new topic!
Please join Dr. Ronald Sham, Hematologist from Lipson Cancer on May 29th for Wellness Wednesday at the JCC. Dr. Sham will be giving an oral presentation on basic over-view of how our bone marrow functions and basic hematology. Sometimes as we age, our bone marrow malfunctions and results in a cancer of the blood, such as Leukemia or Lymphoma. Dr. Sham will be giving a brief overview of these blood cancers, often seen more commonly in older adults, why they happen, latest treatments available at RRH and what the latest research says. Please join us!
Please join experts of our RRH Lifestyle Medicine team and JCC’s Lifespan community for our monthly Plant Based Whole Foods Pot-luck AFTER Wellness Wednesday in Erdle Lounge. Kindly bring a dish to share for about 6 – 8 people + and drop off to the lounge on your way to Aud C for Wellness Wednesday. Please provide the recipe and/or list of the ingredients. Utensils provided.
In Lifestyle Medicine, we teach patients how to incorporate more plants into their diet. Did you know adding more plants to your diet on a regular basis can help with weight loss, GI issues, improved immunity, enhanced sleep, LONGEVITIY and even aid in our mental health. All from plants! Variety is key and new research shows we should be aiming for 30 different varieties of plants each week. We encourage you to try a new recipe and/or put a plant-based spin on a favorite recipe.
***If you need ideas on what to bring, please stop by the RRH office and check out our library of recipe books or visit Lacey in Erdle Lounge.
Hope to see you there! Nurse Trudy from RRH and Lacey Witcher from Lifespan
