The <strong>Parma</strong> Hospital Auxiliary’s Third<br />
Annual Arts at the Center promises to<br />

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

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 />

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 />
