Jona Cartwright, BSN RN and Coordinator, Community Outreach Nurse Saint Joseph Health Systems spoke at Miller’s Assisted Living at their monthly “FOR YOUR HEALTH” series.
The topic for July was allergies. Nurse Jona spoke about the different types of allergies, meds that can help and when to see a doctor. Since it was so hot outside the past few weeks she also took time to talk about the importance of drinking plenty of water to keep our bodies hydrated. By staying hydrated people – especially seniors – are more likely to avoid UTI’s and dehydration; both of which can end up in a hospital stay.
FOR YOUR HEALTH is on the second Wednesday of the month at 2:00 p.m. in the upstairs lobby.
Here we see Nurse Jona and regular visitor Kathy Nethercutt showing off their water bottle that they are seldom without!
