Health Minute: Annual Wellness Visit

WPSU’s Health Minute is a collaboration with Penn State’s College of Nursing. The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is an excellent time for older adults to focus on preventative care, and to communicate their unique health goals and preferences to their healthcare provider. If you’ve had Medicare Part B for longer than 12 months, you may qualify for a free annual wellness visit. While you’re there, you and your care provider will develop or update your personalized health plan. The annual wellness visit is a perfect time to discuss the 4Ms of Age-Friendly Care: What Matters, Medication, Mind, and Mobility. Prevention is better than treatment. Contact your healthcare provider to schedule your annual wellness visit.

Health Minute: Foot Health Awareness Month

WPSU’s Health Minute is a collaboration with Penn State’s College of Nursing. Warmer weather in central Pennsylvania means it’s time for people to trade in their boots for sneakers and sandals. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, about 20 percent of Americans experience at least one foot problem each year.  Stretching your feet, ankles, and lower legs daily keeps your muscles strong and can prevent foot problems. It’s important to replace your sneakers every six months, or every 500 miles, to avoid foot and heel pain. The insides of the shoes can wear and lose support. Your feet will carry you an average of 115,000 miles in your lifetime. Avoiding foot problems should be a priority.
