From the CEO
At Aiken Regional Medical
Centers, we continue
to look for ways to
ensure that every person in our
community gets the healthcare
services he or she needs. This
issue of Quality of Life focuses
on men's health because many
of us may be reluctant to visit
the doctor and get preventive
services that could improve or
even save our lives.
Ladies, you'll also enjoy this issue. As mothers, wives and friends, your influence plays a key role in encouraging men to seek routine care.
You can start on the road to a healthier life today. We will let you know what screening tests you may need and when you should have them. Also, learn more about male aging syndrome, erectile dysfunction and other medical problems you may be reluctant to talk about -- even with your doctor. Plus, there are articles that teach you how to recognize the potential symptoms of an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and sleep disorders.
And a healthy life isn't just about avoiding or treating illness; it's also about making each day more fulfilling. In this issue, there are informative articles on building a relationship with your daughter, improving your fitness routine and how to get much needed rest. You may have a new appreciation for your "best friend" when you read about how dogs can help people stay healthy.
We've also included information about services we offer to help you stay healthy, lose weight and manage chronic conditions.
