Experts for Insights on
Health Matters
In its aim to help create healthier communities, University
Hospitals is sharing its health and wellness education expertise this
year in a new program called Health Matters.
Inspired by the success of UH Ahuja Medical Center's Wednesday
Night Wellness series, this new systemwide program is expanding
to eight other hospitals, in addition to UH Ahuja Medical Center.
They include UH Bedford Medical Center, UH Conneaut Medical
Center, UH Elyria Medical Center, UH Geauga Medical Center, UH
Geneva Medical Center, UH Parma Medical Center, UH Portage
Medical Center and UH Richmond Medical Center.
These health-minded talks will be held at the same 9 UH
locations on the second Wednesday of each month this year. The
next talk on February 10 is "Heart Health, Part Two: Staying Heart
Smart" and it will discuss how to maintain a heart healthy lifestyle.
There is no charge to attend, but space is limited and reservations
are required. To register, call 216.767.8435 Monday through Friday
between 9 am and 5 pm or go to UHhospitals.org/HealthMatters.
Health Matters includes a monthly education series as well as
largescale community events throughout Northeast Ohio. During
National Heart Month in February, we invite you to come to
University Hospitals Heart Days ­ a Health Matters event series.
Join your neighborhood experts for a "heart to heart" about
your health. Attend our community events to gather valuable
information from premier UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute
physicians, and get the insights you need to improve your heart
health.

It's not about
giving up. It's
about more time
with family.
Hospice of the Western Reserve's care
reduces stressful hospital visits so you
can have more Saturdays playing cards
with Dad. If you or a loved one has been
diagnosed with a serious illness,
ask for
us by name.
We can make our first visit
the same day.
Call 800.707.8922 to
