Healthcare Guidance & Learning Sessions

Thank you, Brandon Baldwin, Marshfield-Dickinson Oncology Manager for delivering today's Healthcare Guidance & Learning Session, "Utilizing Low-Dose Radiation for Non-Cancerous Diagnoses."

Baldwin shared how low-dose radiation treatments administered in the Dickinson Cancer Center have proven successful treating osteoarthritis, joint pain due to trauma and post-surgical site healing. He also shared how the low-dose radiation treatment is very safe and can sometimes be a better, less-invasive option than surgery.

One of the attendees commented, "Thank you for sharing, it was very informative. I never knew this was possible. Should I ever have joint pain, I will definitely pursue low-dose radiation treatment before having surgery."

Healthcare Guidance & Learning Sessions

Thank you, Katie Derouin and Kim Jefferson Marshfield-Dickinson Registered Nurses, for delivering Tuesday's Healthcare Guidance & Learning Session, Identifying the Signs and Symptoms of Opioid Abuse.
Derouin and Jefferson shared a lesson explaining the different types of opioids that are in our communities and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of someone who is suffering from opioid addiction and potentially overdosing. The team also demonstrated to the attendees how to administer Narcan, a drug used to help thwart the effects of a drug overdose. Complimentary Narcan kits were given to all of the attendees thanks to a MiOPEN initiative around opioid addiction and prevention.

One of the attendees shared the following comment, "The information you shared is very helpful and I feel like I could truly help someone who was overdosing. Sharing these kits is a proactive way to help those who are vulnerable and in need of assistance. Thank you!"
