Post Rock Family Medicine

Most people set a new year resolution to “get healthier.”  For some people this means eating better, for others spending time on the treadmill, for most it means losing weight.  Post Rock would like to help our patients achieve their goals in 2012.

PRFM is offering participation in the Virtual Lifestyle Management (VLM) project to our patients who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater.   VLM is designed to help people learn about healthier behaviors and lose weight. You can determine if you qualify for the project by calculating your BMI (click here).

Fill out the application form today by surfing over to the VLM site and clicking on “express interest” on the top menu bar!  (You can also get more information about the project at that site.)

We wish you good health in 2012!

Getting books from the doctor is now a routine part of regular well child checkups at Post Rock Family Medicine, as doctors and nurses welcome the Reach Out and Read program to the practice.  Post Rock joins more than 4,688 Programs nationwide that are preparing America’s youngest children to succeed in school.

The program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to achieve their potential.

“We are very excited to have introduced Reach Out and Read at Post Rock this year!  Giving books to children at well checks is a lot of fun, and I get to share some of my favorite childhood books with a whole new generation,” says Dr. Dan Sanchez.

It is time to begin preparations for the 2011 Northwest Kansas Toys for Tots Campaign and Post Rock Family Medicine is helping out.  Our mission is to make sure that every child has a happy holiday and we need your help doing this.  From now until delivery time, we will be building a list of needy children in the surrounding communities of Graham, Rooks, Norton, and Phillips counties who should receive toys for Christmas.  Our goal is to deliver two wrapped gifts per child before Christmas.
