Up Close and Personal with Women & Their Work Life

Recently, members of our team represented The Arthritis & Infusion Center at the 4^th Annual Work-Life Symposium hosted by The Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce.  Renece Holland, Practice Manager; Jennifer Trapp, Infusion Center Manager; and Danell Bailey, Physician Liaison manned a booth where information was provided to interested people regarding the services of Dr. Hulon Crayton and his staff.  In addition to giving directions on the various ways to communicate with the office, questions were answered about personal concerns, or concerns about loved ones, who suffer from the various connective tissue disorders treated by a Rheumatologist.

In addition, Jennifer Trapp conducted Body Composition Analysis screens, which measure the percent of body fat versus water and lean body mass in a person’s body.  This was an extremely popular feature of our booth, and participants lined up waiting their turn.

We were very proud to be a part of this symposium that featured interesting speakers who presented subjects designed to help women balance busy lives, see the importance of laughter and having fun, and value the role that friendships play in our lives.  We believe this mindset would also help many of the patients we see on a day-to-day basis.

One of the highlights of the day was a presentation by Beth Holloway, mother of Natalie Holloway, the teen who went missing in Aruba several years ago.  She focused on women and overcoming adversity and explained how she has personally triumphed by making the personal decision to change her role from victim to victor!

And that’s also a message we like to give our patients at The Arthritis & Infusion Center.  “Pain is not normal.  Let us help.”  You do not have to be a victim of your condition when help is available to alleviate your suffering. Contact us to schedule a consult.

Women’s Symposium Reminder

It was Oprah Winfrey who said: “Women aren't on their own list of priorities.
After taking care of everyone else, they are always putting themselves last on the list, and often have very little left to give.”

At The Arthritis & Infusion Center, we are all too aware of this concern, which is why we chose to participate in The 4th Annual Women’s Work-Life Symposium. Be sure to stop by our booth to learn how our team of experts can help you meet the healthcare issues of women as they age.

 

Our team will join you in attending sessions that connect body, mind, and spirit in our day-to-day lives. Joan Martin will present an interesting concept: “When you’re in the position of having no choice but to make it, you’ll be surprised how strong and able you really are.” A similar theme will be presented by Beth Holloway, addressing the disappearance of her daughter Natalee. “How does one muster the courage to persevere in the face of sheer adversity? Do we all have the capacity to overcome tragedy? How does one keep going?”

Dr. Hulon Crayton and his team deal with such questions every day when they consult with patients who are dealing with debilitating diseases. How DO you deal with rheumatic diseases that can leave you totally incapacitated? Dr. Crayton always tells his patients that “Pain is not normal.  Let us help.” Stop by our booth and we will give you numerous ways you can connect with our practice in order to get the help you need and desire.

We’ll see you then!  Friday, June 14^th, Florida State University – 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
