Health Club Presents
Seminar Series
By Vicki Galliher
Health Club Director
Our new fall Health Club
Seminar Series got off to an
exciting start Wed. evening,
Sept. 2. The seminar series will
focus upon some of our most
pressing health issues as they
relate to our individual health
and well-being.
The September seminar ad
dressed the topic of osteopo
rosis. Speakers for the seminar
were Dr. Jill McLoughlin of
the Travis Medical Clinic and
Maureen Regele, a registered
physical therapist. Dr.
McLoughlin and Ms. Regele
discussed the physiology of
osteoporosis, as well as the
risk factors, symptoms, man
agement £uid preventive fac
tors. The session concluded
with a question and answer
session.
Osteoporosis is a clinical
condition in which an in
dividual experiences a loss of
bone mass from the skeletal
system. This loss of bone mass
results in a weakened skeletal
system which considerably in
creases the risks of skeletal
fractures. Osteoporosis is the
leading cause of fractures in
the elderly.
The next seminar is sched
uled for Tuesday, October 6
from 7-8 p.m. It will focus
upon “The Crack & Cocaine
Crisis.” For parents with
school-age children, this could
be one of the most important
events that you and your fami
ly could attend. We, as adults,
owe it to our young people to
be as well informed as possible
about this latest social crisis
confronting our young people
today.

Conmiunity Center is happy to
add another class to the FaU
