"A Community & Its Hospital: What's New at Riverside in 2012"

Riverside Medical Group's free lecture series is serving up valuable health information in the food court at the Patrick Henry Mall, on the last Wednesday of each month. And the January 25th The Doctor Is In is no exception. Don't miss the change to hear board-certified neurologist and Riverside Regional Medical Center administrator Dr. Patrick Parcells as he brings you up to date on what you can expect at Riverside in 2012 and into the future, and what it can mean for you and your family, including:

• Building for the future – new construction means more space, more services and more care
• The benefits of coordinating care through physicians, the people closest to your health
• National quality recognition and how Riverside compares to other hospitals nationwide
• What's a Level II Trauma Center and why does it matter to people in our region?
• Improving your ER experience with an online check-in system
• Recently renovated Women's and Infant Care Unit with a range of special features and amenities including family-focused private rooms

Walk with the Docs
Now there's even another reason to get to the mall on the last Wednesday morning of each month – Riverside Medical Group's new Walk with the Docs program. From 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. beginning this month, you'll be able to get in some exercise while you have questions answered and thoughts shared with a Riverside physician in the relaxed atmosphere of a walk along the designated and measured course that Riverside created in the Mall. The inaugural walk will head out with doctors from Brentwood Family Practice whom you will recognize by their Walk with the Docs t-shirts.

And if you haven't already picked up your free pedometer, stop by and get it at the information desk at the Mall along with Riverside's Walk This Way brochure that tells you how to use the pedometer and log in your distance. It's your "first step" in reaching the goal of 10,000 recorded steps a day – not as difficult as you might think if you're active and walking. And once you get up to that healthy number for the month, you'll be eligible for a $25 gift certificate redeemable at select merchants in the Mall.

Don't miss The Doctor Is In on January 25^th at 9:00 a.m. and be sure to come early for your opportunity to Walk with the Docs. It's bound to be a "moving conversation" for you and the physician. The Doctor Is In meets in the Food Court (near the fireplace) of Patrick Henry Mall. Chick-fil-A provides complimentary coffee during the lecture. Bring a friend, family member or a neighbor and take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about a wide range of health issues and concerns.

The lectures are free. The walk is free. The coffee is free. And the results can be highly valuable for your health. Don't miss this thought-provoking series.
