The Luckiest Day of His Life On that March day in 2014 when Rick Woodell’s chest X-ray confirmed he had bronchitis, he felt anything but lucky. He had been referred to a specialist—a pulmonologist— who read the X-ray and sent him home with an antibiotic and doctor’s orders to rest and recover. As it turns out, that may have been the luckiest day of his life.

•


More than two months later, when Rick’s bronchitis was long gone, he received a call from the pulmonologist – a reminder to come in for a follow-up chest X-ray. Rick admits it had slipped his mind, and scheduled the appointment. At the follow-up, Rick got some good news: his lungs looked perfect. Then, he got other news: at the very edge of the X-ray film were signs of enlarged lymph nodes deep in his abdomen. Rick soon learned that he had stage three colon cancer. In a matter of days, he was in surgery, thanks to the coordinated efforts of a team of doctors that included specialists in gastroenterology, oncology, and surgery. He was lucky to catch it when he did. Now, just over a year later, Rick has completed his treatment and has an excellent prognosis. Rick’s wife, Susan, is also a cancer survivor. She puts it plainly:“The doctors at Kaiser Permanente have literally saved our lives.”

As cancer survivors, Rick and Susan are always looking for ways to improve their health – they have attended The Art of Healthy Cooking class several times and pay very close attention to their nutrition. They take full advantage of the Healthy Living classes, sometimes exercising twice a day! Rick says yoga and Pilates have helped speed his recovery by strengthening his breathing, his core strength, and his immune system. For the couple, an important part of healthy living is taking time away from it all; just three weeks after Rick’s surgery, the doctors gave them the green light to sail away on a Mediterranean cruise!

As cancer survivors, Rick and Susan are always looking for ways to improve their health – they have attended The Art of Healthy Cooking class several times and pay very close attention to their nutrition.

Rick has always maintained a healthy lifestyle, with lots of walking built right into his 32-year career as a mail carrier. He and Susan have attended Healthy Living Classes regularly since they began in 2008. Rick’s favorite is yoga, even though he’s one of very few men in the class, and admits he is anything but flexible.

Rick and Kaiser Permanente go way back. Just months after we opened our doors in Georgia 30 years ago, Rick became one of our first members. “When I was first a patient, I saw my doctors in a store front.” He has watched our facilities grow from one to 26, and is now one of 269,000 Georgia members being cared for by 450 physicians. “We’ve raised three kids. Over the years the doctors have seen us through everything from teenage acne to delicate eye surgery, and now they’ve helped us beat cancer. You could say we’ve grown up together.”

A 32-year veteran of the US Postal Service, Rick is newly retired. He and Susan have traveled all over the world, and they have no plans to curtail their adventures. “This was just a bump in the road,” Rick says. “Now it’s life as usual.”

EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCER SCREENING MEMBERS ONLY / $0 / Must pre-register Participants will need a referral from their physician and must meet criteria for screening: • Current or former smoker (quit within last 15 years) • Between ages 55-80 Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. More people die from lung cancer each year than from breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined. Detecting lung cancer early can mean easier treatment and a better cure rate. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, and even former smokers have elevated risk factors for years after quitting. If you would like to be proactive and get screened, contact your primary care physician to request a referral for lung cancer screening. You will be contacted by the instructor to verify screening criteria and confirm enrollment. Call 678-340-8104 with questions or for additional information.

Many people abandon a behavioral technique after two or three nights if it doesn’t produce an immediate change in their sleep. This course will require time, patience, and persistence. Although the changes resulting from behavioral interventions will take longer than just taking a pill, they will also last longer. These changes are more enduring, more effective, and safer than sleep medications. Gwinnett Tues.

STRIVE TO THRIVE WELLNESS COACHING BY PHONE DIAL UP YOUR HEALTH!

We all strive to thrive – to be more energetic, more focused, and happier. We want to have a healthier lifestyle, but lack of time, resources, or support can get in the way of our good intentions. Whether it’s quitting smoking, losing weight, or managing stress, it can be challenging to get started and stay motivated. Just as a great coach can turn a sports team from lackluster to blockbuster, a health coach can turn you in the direction of your goals, create motivation and inspire you to keep the momentum going. As a Kaiser Permanente member, you have access to a healthy lifestyle coach. Your cost? Nothing. That’s right – zero.

MEMBERS ONLY / $0 / Must pre-register If you have prediabetes or believe you may be at risk for developing diabetes and are overweight there is good news for you. You don’t have to get diabetes! There are changes you can start making now to help prevent diabetes. The “Diabetes Prevention Program,” based on research from the National Institutes of Health, shares the information and skills you need. It has been shown to reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes by as much as 58% and even more in people who are 60 years of age and older!

Crescent

WHAT IS IT? The “Diabetes Prevention Program” is a proven intensive lifestyle program that teaches you how to build your plan to prevent diabetes. It is designed to help you break down behaviors into small manageable steps. You will be in a small group with other people who are also changing their routines to prevent diabetes. • A 12–month group-based program with 16 one–hour weekly sessions for the first four months, followed by once–per–month sessions for the next eight months, designed to be interactive and fun! • T opics include healthy eating, weight loss, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, problem solving, motivation, and long-term maintenance of your healthy lifestyle changes. • W eekly weigh–ins and tracking of your food and activity levels are part of this program. • It is led by a trained lifestyle coach who facilitates this small group of people with similar goals. The smaller class size means there will be opportunities to hear, learn, and share with others what works best.
