Primary Care Physician
THOMAS CAMPBELL, M.D.
"I have a family of my own, so I know it can be
important to parents to nd someone who
understands a parent's perspective when looking
for a family physician," said Thomas Campbell, M.D.,
board-certied primary care physician with
CHISt. Joseph Health. "I center my practice around
the patients, explaining all of their options in a way
they can understand and helping them come to
the right decision, rather than making healthcare
decisions for them."

Better
Bones
No matter your age, you can take steps to
protect your bone health and avoid joining the
one-in-four women over age 50 diagnosed with
osteoporosis.
"Start when you're young," said Charity Karpac,
M.D., M.P.H., board-certied internal medicine and
pediatrics physician with CHI St. Joseph Health
Primary Care. "Make sure you're getting enough
calcium and vitamin D, and do weight-bearing
exercise regularly. This could be anything from
light weight lifting to running or walking."
Precautions against osteoporosis can be
taken throughout the course of a woman's
life. Women approaching menopause should
speak with their physicians about bone density
scans, for example, so appropriate action can be
taken to protect those who are at risk for or who
already have osteoporosis.
If you are concerned about your bone
health, make an appointment with your
physician today. Don't have one? Visit

Time to Toss
When it's time to do a deep cleaning on your house, make sure you're tossing everything
you need to. Check the following areas of your home to be on the way to ridding yourself of
the clutter.
Pantry—To avoid clutter buildup, make a habit of regularly cleaning out your pantry shelves.
Toss anything that is out of date.
Medicine cabinet—Medications slowly lose eectiveness over time, and some may even
become harmful when past their expiration date.
Makeup drawer—Some makeup can harbor bacteria after its use-by date. To avoid health
hazards, replace mascara every three months, and lipstick and foundation after a year.
