health and wellness.<br />

The <strong>Parma</strong> Hospital Auxiliary’s Third<br />

Annual Arts at the Center promises to<br />

be an elegant event featuring the work<br />

of 40 area artisans. This juried arts and<br />

fine crafts show spotlights a wide range<br />

of mediums, including woodcarving,<br />

ceramics, fabrics, jewelry, paintings and<br />

photography. Artwork from Cuyahoga<br />

<strong>Community</strong> College students also will be<br />

displayed and judged at this community<br />

event.<br />

Proceeds from this Auxiliary event<br />

will benefit the creation of a curbside<br />

concierge service at <strong>Parma</strong> Hospital,<br />

assisting patients and family members<br />

as they arrive at the hospital. Lobby<br />

monitors will be available to escort<br />

patients and visitors to their destinations,<br />

assisting with wheelchairs, directions and<br />

parking visitors’ vehicles.<br />

“This pilot program will support the<br />

excellent, personalized care we extend to<br />

our healthcare customers,” says Andrea<br />

Sack, the director of Volunteer Services<br />

who coordinates all volunteers including<br />

the ones at the lobby’s Information Desk.<br />

“We know that many patients and visitors<br />

need assistance coming into the hospital<br />

and finding their way, and we want to be<br />

there for them.”<br />

Catch that cough – protect against H1N1<br />

The H1N1 influenza spreading across<br />

the state and around the globe is a<br />

new strain of flu. But the precautions you<br />

should take remain the same, regardless of<br />

the virus.<br />

The 2009 H1N1 spreads from person<br />

to person. Cover your coughs and sneezes<br />

and wash your hands frequently. Watch<br />

for signs and symptoms of the illness and<br />

contact your doctor should you become ill.<br />

For the latest information on H1N1 flu, go to:<br />

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention<br />

(CDC)<br />

H1N1 hotline: 866-800-1404<br />

Signs of the H1N1 virus include:<br />

• Fatigue • Fever<br />

• Sore throat • Muscle aches<br />

• Chills • Coughing<br />

• Sneezing<br />

• Diarrhea and vomiting in some cases<br />

The same companies that manufacture<br />

the seasonal flu vaccines have made the<br />

H1N1 vaccine.<br />

“The H1N1 vaccine will not protect<br />

people against the seasonal flu, though,”<br />

says Eva Szathmary, MD, an infectious<br />

diseases specialist. “People should consider<br />

getting both vaccines as soon as they are<br />

available.”<br />

To protect our patients, <strong>Parma</strong> Hospital<br />

is restricting patient visitation to ages 18<br />

and older during flu season. No one with<br />

flu-like symptoms should visit patients, and<br />

patients are strongly encouraged to limit<br />

their visitors.<br />
