Voters Pass Measures B & C

"This is a great day for our community, and all of us at RCMS appreciate the support of everyone who voted Yes on the April 10 ballot. Approval of both Measures B & C shows us that area residents place a high value on having urgent and emergency medical care available to this community. The staff and Boards of CLSD and RCMS work closely together to provide these services and it is encouraging and gratifying that the community has voted to help pay for the cost of the high-quality care both organizations offer."

Women's Health Week

Gualala, CA - April 9, 2012 - Women's Health Week kicks off on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13, and is celebrated as a time for women to make their health a top priority by taking some simple steps towards a healthier life.

Some of these steps include:

• Exercising regularly.
• Eating a nutritious diet
• Avoiding risky behavior, such as smoking, not wearing a seatbelt, or drinking alcohol to excess.
• Paying attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and managing stress.
• Getting regular check-ups and preventive health screenings.

"National Women's Health Week is the perfect time to remind women in our community that visiting their healthcare providers regularly and getting routine care can lower the risk of many leading causes of death in women, like heart disease and cancer," said Diane Agee, CEO, RCMS. "It is also a very good time to acknowledge all the women who are part of the RCMS healthcare team including Dr. Mana Hobson, Lois Falk, FNP, Maureen Frank, FNP, who see patients in our Gualala and Point Arena medical clinics, and Dr. Roberta Rams who treats patients at our Point Arena dental center."

For appointment with an RCMS medical provider call 882-1704 in Point Arena, or 884-4005 in Gualala. For the RCMS dental center in Point Arena, call 882-2189.
