B reast cancer may attract a lot of awareness, but there are cancers exclusive to men that warrant attention, too.Jeff ry Huff man, M.D., a urologist on the medical staff at Memorial Hospital, outlines several male-only cancers, and off ers advice on how to catch them in their earliest, most treatable stages.
For the last five years, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation has held a winter gala and Lights of Life campaign, raising a total of $504,660, including more than $150,000 from the record-setting 2009-2010 campaign. Those funds have helped the hospital add digital mammography equipment, a children’s therapy garden and a healing garden to its offerings for the community.
Childbirth may be natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. Knowing what to expect—and how to cope—can help new moms as they bring their babies into the world.
Most patients are unaware that around the corner from the main hospital building and across from the inpatient rehabilitation center sits a well-established center dedicated to treatment of acute and chronic wounds and hyperbaric medicine. Wound Care at Memorial, established in 2006, is run by Dr. Han Pham Hulen, MD and her medical staff through Diversified Clinical Services, a national consulting company dedicated strictly to the advances in wound healing including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. High-pressurized oxygen chambers have been used for many years in the practice of wound healing and the concept of limb salvage (or the prevention of amputation) has been a fairly new concept in the medical community over the last five to ten years.
Saturday’s Lights of Life Gala at the Civic Center is guaranteed to provide one memorable evening of dinner, dancing and fun for all. But the truth is the event is the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by dozens of devoted volunteers to improved the quality of health care for the people of Hopkins County.
