Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.
If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.
Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.
This morning, we will talk with Allison about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.

If you are 65 years old or older, you have been receiving lots of calls, letters, and emails regarding the Medicare Open Enrollment period from October 15 through December 7. What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period. That can be scary and leave opportunities to discover unwelcome or unwanted changes in coverage when they visit a doctor, pharmacy, or other provider in the new plan year.
Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare.
This morning we are fortunate to talk with Trisha Witts from our local five star advantage plan, PrimeTime Health Plan. PrimeTime is locally owned and when you call, you will be talking to a neighbor or friend to help you understand your Medicare benefits and options.

Our guest is Ashley Everetts, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Lead, Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation at Aultman Deuble Heart and Vascular Hospital.
Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.
If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.
Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.
This morning we will talk with Ashley about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May our goal is to raise awareness about mental health. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.
This morning we are happy to share this time with Elena Aslanides-Kandis and Justina Gorman from Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a multi-faceted county behavioral health board comprised of expert professionals, dedicated volunteers and concerned community leaders. Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery believes in hope, wellness and recovery for everyone.

Do you remember a time when you had abundant energy and felt vibrant? When you slept well, you didn’t need caffeine, you were able to consume foods that didn’t result in weight gain. If you did gain weight you could make some easy adjustments and lose it fast. As we age, things change.
Perhaps you are struggling to recall words easily or you are wishing you were experiencing that passionate spark with you spouse or loved one. Are you wondering what happened?
The Mayo Clinic has published studies that show changes in hormone levels and metabolism as we age.
When you were younger, hormones like thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone were produced in abundance and in balance, but aging and stress can deplete many of the hormones that kept your body young, healthy and strong. The good news is that they can be replaced with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormones are not magic, they do not cure all disease, but they can restore your body to a healthier place, similar to when you were younger.
This morning we will talk with Marna about BHRT and the services offered at Vitality Med.

February is American Heart Month. Why do we observe American Heart Month every February? Well, every year more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease. The number one cause of deaths for most groups, heart disease affects all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and excessive alcohol use.

It’s hard to consider a “Top 10” list and not think of David Letterman. Did you know his first “Top 10 list” was on his show on September 18, 1985, and that very first top 10 list was “The top ten words that almost rhyme with peas.” There is of course a top ten list of David Letterman’s best top 10 lists which includes favorites like “the Top 10 ways the country would be different if Britney Spears was president.”
Today we are going to talk about our Top 10 tips to help each of you stay healthy, to live your best life, and accomplish all those things that bring you joy. I’m not sure our list would have ever made it to the David Letterman show, but we know we can help you save money and be healthy.

You have probably watched a commercial for SingleCare and watched Martin Sheen as he helped someone save money on a prescription. After all, who doesn’t want to save money on prescriptions. If you have used SingleCare or Good Rx to help save money on prescriptions, you know it isn’t always easy. You have to go to their website, print a coupon or save it on your phone to show your pharmacist. Or maybe you can join their program and “save even more.”
Wouldn’t it be nice to simply trust your pharmacist to offer you the lowest price available? Today we would like to introduce a simple, easy way to save money at your local Medicine Center Pharmacy.

Many people believe that most blood is needed after major disasters. However, daily personal emergencies and ongoing medical needs of thousands of patients require a constant and ready blood supply. It’s the blood already on hospital shelves that saves lives. Today there is a critical need for blood donations and we would like to dedicate our show to sharing information about blood donations.
Every day in the U.S., patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately:
- 36,000 units of red blood cells
- 7,000 units of platelets
- 10,000 units of plasma
When you donate blood, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. It is a simple act and the ultimate pay-it-forward moment. Please enjoy our show today as we talk with Allyson and Lori about the process of donating blood, the safety precautions in place and the positive impact donating blood has on people’s lives.

Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and today more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, with deaths from Alzheimer’s increasing 145% since the year 2000. While Alzheimer’s is a familiar term, more than 80% of Americans know little about or are not familiar with mild cognitive impairment, which can be an early stage of Alzheimer’s. Early intervention is critical so it is important that we learn how to recognize signs and symptoms that we should bring to our doctor’s attention. This morning we will talk with Dr. Drake and learn about the risk factors for Alzheimer’s, along with diagnosis and treatment.

People who are suffering or nearing the end of life often have spiritual needs as compelling as their physical concerns. That person might find peace by resolving unsettled issues with friends or family. They might appreciate and find comfort in visits from social workers or counselors. Many people find solace in their faith. In addition, the friends and family members of the person who is suffering often find themselves wondering what to do, and how to help while also coping with their own feelings. Today Chaplain Terry is with us to discuss a compassionate journey and share his insight for those of us who are either faced with the journey ourselves or are journeying with a friend or loved one.

Hospice care is designed to help terminally ill people live out their final days in as much comfort as possible. The practical application of palliative care, in most cases, focuses on alleviating physical pain. But there are other elements involved.
Emotional, psychological, and spiritual comfort all take on vital importance at the end of life. Faith may take precedence over everything else in these moments. No matter what a hospice patient believes, the interconnected concepts of mind, body, and soul are deeply ingrained across most cultures. When faced with their own mortality, people often feel an urgent need to get their spiritual affairs in order. At its best, hospice care can allow patients to incorporate faith into their life during their final days as much or as little as they desire.
This morning, Darrell will talk with us about his role as a hospice chaplain at Aultman Hospital.

All too often, illness or injury appears out of the blue: You wake up in the middle of the night with intense abdominal pain. You stumble while carrying groceries up a flight of stairs, and cannot put weight on your swollen ankle. Or your baby spikes a high fever on the weekend.
When these situations occur, we’re often faced with uncertainty about where to go for care, especially if the symptoms seem severe and our regular doctor’s office is closed.
While the answer is not always simple, knowing the difference between a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center and a hospital emergency room can make a huge difference, especially if you have a medical emergency.
Today we will talk with Dr. Elias and learn about the difference between the Emergency Room and Urgent Care, while also discussing common health concerns during this cold and flu season.

Fall prevention may not seem like a lively topic, but it’s important. Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall. Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, but the most important message is that falls can be prevented. Falls are often considered to be part of a syndrome. In other words, more than one thing may be causing the condition. As a result, there is often a benefit from a team approach where various disciplines can contribute to the assessment and treatment of the condition. Today, our discussion includes both a physical therapist and a pharmacist to get their perspectives on fall prevention.

Brad: If you have low back pain, you are not alone. Many people experience back pain in their lifetime. For example, at any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having low back pain within the past 3 months. In most cases, this type of back pain is mild and disappears on its own. But, for some people, back pain can return or hang on, leading to a decrease in quality of life or even to disability. Physical therapists help people with low back pain improve or restore mobility and reduce their pain.
Physical therapists are movement experts. They improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement. This morning we will talk with Michelle McCann, Physical Therapist with Aultman Therapy Services about treatments for back pain and Aultman’s patient navigator who helps patients access all the services available at Aultman to care for your back and spine.

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss occupational therapy services from the Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital with Emily Winstead.
During the month of April, Occupational Therapy Month recognizes all the benefits this specialized healthcare provides, but many of us do not know what an Occupational Therapist does or how their care benefits our lives.
When injury strikes or long-term wear of joints and muscles require rehabilitation, an occupational therapist (also known as OTs) provides the necessary exercises to get us back into our daily routines. Simply getting out of bed may be a challenge or moving from one position to another becomes a problem we need to overcome. OTs have studied the movements required to make these transitions happen safely and to retrain our newly repaired body part to do the job. They know the therapies to help improve weakened muscles and alternatives when others fail us.
For every age and ability, occupational therapists provide care to improve the quality of life for each patient. This morning we will talk with Emily about the services an Occupational Therapist provides.
Tune in to this edition of Health Matters to Learn about Occupational Therapy:
- What injuries or diagnoses might indicate a person needs the help of an occupational therapist and how do you evaluate those needs?
- How has the Covid-19 Pandemic impacted occupational therapy practice?
- What types of things would Occupational Therapy help with following a stroke?
- How does OT differ from Physical and Speech therapy and how can they complement each other?
- What is the purpose of Occupational Therapy following a total joint replacement?

Hospice care is not just a place to go to die. Across the United States, over 5,500 hospices provide medical services for pain management, lend emotional support and offer spiritual resources and therapies as patients enter their last stage of life. Some interesting facts about hospice care:
- Cancer is the largest category for hospice diagnoses, accounting for 37 percent of patients.
- Over 65 percent of patients’ pain was brought to a comfortable level within 48 hours of admission and assessment.
- Over 70 percent of families would rate their hospice care for their loved one as excellent.
While hospice care is being used more often, many families wished they had placed their loved one in the care of a provider sooner so their loved one could be more comfortable during their last days. Over 60 percent of patients only received care for 29 days.

One thing leads to another. Progress made during the first 5 years of a child’s life is extremely predictive of future school successes and struggles. Kindergarten readiness predicts 3rd grade reading achievement ...which predicts 8th grade math achievement ...which predicts high school graduation ...which predicts postsecondary attainment. 90% of a child’s brain development occurs by age 5, and birth to age 3 is the fastest rate of brain development across his or her lifetime.
Today’s consensus in the fields of neuroscience, education and developmental psychology reveal that a child’s experiences between birth and age five have an enormous impact on the ability to thrive throughout life; from academic achievement, to health, to future earnings as an adult.
A plastic surgery practice specializes in treatments for skin malignancies, breast cancer and complex wound reconstruction, as well as non-surgical and surgical cosmetic procedures. Today we will talk with Dr. Khan about the procedures offered at Aultman Medical Group as well as advancements and new techniques in the field.
The human brain grows and develops at its greatest rate at the beginning of life, which is why ensuring proper nutrition is key. However, it can be challenging for growing children and adolescents to meet their nutrient needs. The truth is, lack of nutrition during the developing stages of life can have profound effects on growth and the structural development of the brain.
DHA, one type of omega-3 fatty acid, is necessary for healthy brain function as it is a principal structural component for proper brain function and development.
This essential fatty acid is found at high levels in a limited number of foods such as fatty fish and marine algae, which many children do not regularly consume. Supplementing with an omega-3 fatty acid that is DHA dominant can ensure children are getting the necessary fats they need for healthy brains.
Diabetes is a challenging disease to manage successfully. From medication to monitoring and from exercise to diet there is a lot to coordinate, understand and manage.

Today Nicole will share her knowledge and tips to help you or your loved ones understand how to manage diabetes.

Most people who experience mental health problems recover fully, or can live with and manage them, especially if they get help early on.

We will talk with Chris Fogarty, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Mercy Medical Center about mental health initiatives in our community and reducing the stigma attached to mental health conditions.

National ‘I LOVE My Feet Day!’ is celebrated annually on August 17. This is a day to appreciate how valuable our feet are, and a reminder to practice good foot care. Our feet are our primary mode of transportation. They quietly and faithfully help us stand, walk, run, jump, swim, skip and dance. Approximately 75% of the adult population of the United States has suffered foot pain at some point in their lives. Years of wear and tear can be hard on them, as can disease, bad circulation, improperly trimmed toenails and poorly fitting shoes. Today we focus on care for those 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 120 muscles, ligaments, and nerves that make up our fabulous feet.
Our guest this week is from Mercy Medical Center – Kathy Smithberger, Physical Therapist and Administrative Director of Rehabilitation Therapy Services at Mercy Medical Center. After illness, injury, or surgery, some patients need intensive, inpatient rehabilitative care, such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy.

We will talk with Kathy about the differences between Inpatient Rehabilitation Services and Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation as well as explaining the services offered within the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center.
The leading causes of vision impairment and blindness in the U.S. are primarily age-related eye diseases. The number of Americans at risk for age-related eye diseases is increasing as the baby boomer generation ages. These conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, affect more Americans than ever before. Disturbingly, the number of Americans with age-related eye disease and the vision impairment that results is expected to double within the next three decades.
Because it is often linked to other disorders, such as endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain may be misdiagnosed as another condition, making it difficult to estimate reliable prevalence rates for pelvic pain.

This morning we will talk with Dr. Chung about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic pain.
