#ChoosePT as an Alternative to Treat Chronic Pain
By Gina Epifano, PT, Director of Rehabilitation, Visiting Nurse
Chronic pain and the use of opioids for chronic pain management have been making headlines in recent months. Statistics show that opioid prescriptions have quadrupled since 1999, with 259 million opioid prescriptions written in 2012. That’s enough for every adult in the United States to have a bottle of pills! Overuse of opioids can lead to overdose, addiction, depression and withdrawal symptoms.

Year-long Charity Planning
By Sarah Matthews, Director of Individual Giving
Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet? How many have you broken already? I decided a few years ago that I was better off not making resolutions per se, but to set forth goals for myself over the next 12 months. I keep them to a maximum of three, and I make them very specific. This year, one of them is to learn to speak Spanish. I am traveling to Spain later this year, and I want to be able to get around easily, so I have taken steps to learn the language.

What to Expect in 2017
Uncertainty and opportunity. No one has a crystal ball on what changes will come to health care in 2017. (If someone does have a crystal ball, please send me the winning lottery ticket numbers for next Saturday. I prefer the Powerball.)
If you have been on planet Earth for the past few months, you know that beginning January 21, 2017 we will have a new President with a new agenda. In addition to having a Republican in the White House, both houses of Congress have a Republican majority. We do not need a crystal ball to know that there will be changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) often referred to as ObamaCare. We can assume that some changes will be good and some will be not-so-good. That is how policy works.

Giving Tuesday will be celebrated in three weeks on Tuesday, December 3rd and we need you to join us to help care for our seniors, the fastest growing population in Georgia.
Did you know that 75% of our patients are seniors and 40% live in poverty?
• Your gift of $150 pays for one healthcare at home visit to an uninsured patient.
• Many seniors are left alone and are unable to navigate resources like Medicaid and Medicare due to illiteracy.
• On any given day, we help approximately 500 seniors navigate health insurance and during the months of waiting for insurance authorization we provide care in the home regardless of their ability to pay.
Thank you for considering a gift today or on Giving Tuesday.
