William J. Bryan Parkway, Bryan TX 77803, attn: Contest. Find it! When the leaves are changing and you have your seasonal "visit" from runny nose, itchy eyes and a cough—fight back! Whether your fall allergies are caused by ragweed, mold or other allergens, they don't have to ruin your life. Over-the-counter medica- tions can help ease symptoms, especially if you start taking them early in the season. "If symptoms continue to distract from everyday life, allergy testing can identify the cause of your problem," said Tom Salzer, M.D., otolaryngologist with St. Joseph. "Once the allergen or allergens are identified, you can either avoid exposure or eliminate the allergen from your environment. If that is not practical, immunotherapy can be used to increase your allergen tolerance." At St. Joseph Central Texas Ear, Nose, and Throat, board-certified physicians offer a specialized allergy plan that can keep you healthy even during the height of allergy season. ❱❱ To learn more about allergy care at St. Joseph, visit www.st-joseph.org and search for "allergy." Stopping Your Sneezes V1N3 ❱❱ From St. Joseph Regional Health Center Dear Neighbor, For tens of thousands of Americans, pain from knee and hip joints can have a significant impact on quality of life. Those who once enjoyed an active lifestyle with hobbies, sports or travel may become restricted by joint pain. For many, joint replacement is a very real option in order to restore mobility and eliminate much, if not all, pain. For several years now St. Joseph Regional Health Center has offered a total joint replacement program that follows national best practice guidelines. Known as Joint University, the specialized program was the first of its kind in our region and has received outstanding remarks from patients. It is also an award-winning program. HealthGrades recognized St. Joseph nationally as one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement in 2012 and 2013. Our orthopedic services were ranked No. 1 in Texas in 2011 and 2012. Our physicians, St. Joseph Orthopaedic Associates, offer a variety of surgical and nonsurgical treatments for musculoskeletal problems. With five experienced orthopedic surgeons located right here in our community, St. Joseph Orthopaedic Associates are committed to their patients from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up care. At St. Joseph, improving our patients' health and well- being is part of our mission. We believe taking care of the whole person is important – mind, body and spirit. Yours in good health, Kathleen Krusie, M.A., F.A.C.H.E. CEO, St. Joseph Regional Health Center COO, St. Joseph Health System
