2005 - A Great Year for The Adler Center

The Adler Center has had a very productive year. We now have four physicians. We've found a midwife who is not only clinically knowledgeable, but fluent in Spanish as well. We implemented our call center in the Woodbridge office which has greatly improved our telephone communications. Our billing department now has four staff members to assist our patients with their insurance and billing questions. We continue to publish our monthly E-Newsletters and hold our free monthly Women's Health Seminars. Our website is constantly being updated with current information to include some Spanish. We have hired another midwife, Terri Chambers, who we look forward to working with January of 2006.

In the upcoming new year, the Adler Center is committed to continue to provide the optimum in health care and education to our current and future patients.


The Annual Adler Center Holiday Party

Our annual holiday party was held on Friday, December 2nd at the Westridge Swim and Racquet Club. We had great food, dancing, and even door prizes for everyone! We danced to the Macarana, the Electric Slide, the Cha Cha Slide and, of course, Salsa. It seemed like the night flew by and it was over before we knew it. We'd like to share some of our party photos with our readers. Our photographer, Tara Weber, (one of our nurses) did a great job! Do you recognize everyone?

Food as Medicine? Rx: Eat Better, Feel Better!

(By Susan Gennaro, Every Woman Magazine, Winter 2004)

Most women want to make time for regular exercise and healthy eating but recognize that the demands and stresses of a full- time career, family, and social life leave little room for fitting everything in. They are intrigued by the barrage of diets available. The low-carb, no carb, sugar-bustin', and point-counting regimens appeal to the desire to shed extra pounds, but who has the time and energy? What women need is more balance, better choices, and a way to fit activity into everyday life.

Most Americans are seriously overweight. Two- thirds of us weigh more than we should. And it's killing us: Being overweight leads to 300,000 deaths a year from cancer, diabetes, and heart disease--all deaths that might have been prevented.

The Werner's Baby Story

My son Joey was going to be 2 years old in 2 months, and my husband and I decided we wanted to try for another child. We were planning on waiting for Joey to turn two, but after talking to other people, they told us it might be harder to get pregnant the second time around. We had no problem getting pregnant with Joey. First month and we were pregnant. So we started trying early. Little did we know what was in store for us.

We started trying and on Mother's day weekend I started spotting for two days. I figured I wasn't pregnant and we would have to try again. Everyone was right. Well the spotting went away, but the tests kept coming back negative. Finally a week later, we got a positive test. I was more tired and sick then I ever was with Joey. I just thought every pregnancy is different, boy was I right.

Monthly Women's Health Seminars

Due to the holidays, The Adler Center will not be hosting a Women's Health Seminar in December.

Our January seminar will focus on Urinary Incontinence. Incontinence is not a disease but a symptom of a problem with the lower urinary tract, and it is very common, especially among older adults. Typically, urinary incontinence does not cause major health problems, but it can be embarrassing and can affect a woman's self-esteem and confidence. Jodie Horton, M.D., will be our speaker. The seminar will be held in our Woodbridge office on Thursday, January 26 from 6:30pm- 7:30pm. Please bring a friend! Light Refreshments will be provided.

From All of Us at The Adler Center - Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year!

Sincerely,


Felecia Chinn
