Here’s a preview of the informative health articles in December’s Good Health Starts Here section of The Erickson Tribune. Don’t Worry About Hypothermia One of the greatest dangers to older adults in winter is hypothermia. It means lowered body temperature and it can lead to confusion or more serious consequences. Monarch Landing residents have so much right on-site they don’t have to brave the cold if they don’t want to. Restaurants, a convenience store, an indoor pool, and numerous activities are right here—and accessible via climate-controlled walkways. The New Electronic Rx Pad As of January ’09, doctors are implementing e-prescribing, sending prescriptions electronically to your drug store or other health supplier. E-prescriptions have always been available at Monarch Landing thanks to Centricity, an electronic medical records system. It cuts down on written mistakes, avoids duplicate orders, and diminishes paperwork in general. http://www.euservices.com/client/mlnvip_2008/healthSecrets.htm

Fortunately, with the Medical Center conveniently located on-site, Monarch Landing residents can get an accurate diagnosis without even going outside.
