Hosts: Barbara Cochran & Dr. Thomas Polucki

Guests: Jen Whitcomb, Jimmy McCoy

On today’s show, your hosts Barbara and Dr. Polucki welcome Jen Whitcomb, Director of Cardiovascular Services at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.  September is Atrial Fibrillation month and Jen is in to discuss the services that are offered at the hospital.  Preventative care is essential in making sure your health stays on track, focusing on diet, exercise and stress.  Henry Mayo Hospital offers a Core Flow System that uses wires to clear out arteries and increase blood flow to the heart.  A-fib is an irregular and rapid heartbeat that causes poor blood flow. Middle age to elderly men are most at risk of developing the condition which can lead to stroke or death. Henry Mayo is proud to be expanding their services giving them a chance to offer more to our community.  Go to henrymayo.com for more information on prevention and their services.

In the second half of the show, your hosts welcome Jimmy McCoy of JCI Santa Clarita. They are hosting a resource fair for veterans and their families on Saturday, September 21 at Hart Park from 10am-1pm.  Veterans can attend to learn more information from the Veteran Affairs, Veterans Collaborative and more.  There is help for the veteran’s covering mental health needs, educational opportunities.  A free lunch for all veterans will be provided with purchased lunch optional for their family members.  Go to jcisantaclarita.org to find out more information about the event.
