• GUTHRIE FMC TO BECOME APPOINTMENT-BASED CLINIC IN JANUARY; NEW URGENT CARE PROCEDURES OUTLINED: In
January, (tentatively set for Jan. 14, 2013), the Guthrie Family Medicine Clinic will be an appointment-based clinic only, from 8 a.m.

                   During clinic hours: Call (315) 772-2778 to speak with an Access Center Clerk or Triage Nurse.

                   After Clinic Hours: Call (315) 772-2778: You will be transferred to our answering service that will take your
                   information and contact our primary care manager (PCM) of the Day. The PCM of the Day will return your call
                   within 30 minutes and address your health concerns.

22. SAFETY                                                                                        JOHN DROZD, 315-772-3022

• SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS: Most winter falling accidents happen in parking lots. To ensure your safety make sure your feet are
firmly planted when exiting your vehicle. If uncertain of surface conditions, shuffle your feet and keep your arms close to your sides
until you determine it is safe to walk normally. If carrying packages, carry them close to your body. Over the ankle shoes or boots
with slip resistant soles and stretch slip-on over-the-boot studded walking aids are always appropriate during the winter months.

• REDUCING WINTER DRIVING ACCIDENTS: The most important thing is to slow down and drive according to conditions. Just as
important is see and be seen. Clear all glass and lights of snow before starting out. Don't hesitate to use emergency flashers if you
feel uncomfortable about the vehicles behind you. Using your low beams at all times, even during daylight hours can reduce your
chances of an accident by 20%. Have situational awareness of weather conditions where you are departing from, your destination
and all points in between can help you avoid accidents or being stranded alongside the road way. Monitor weather reports, pull up
the weather channel on your computer or utilize the New York State Department of Transportation or dial 511 on your phone to
receive local and regional driving conditions. Pack a survival kit with items presented at the November CLIF in sufficient quantities
for all passengers to keep them comfortable for 8-12 hours, until roads can be plowed/cleared.

• PREVENTING COLD WEATHER INJURIES: Cold weather injuries can happen in less than five minutes if the temperature and wind
chill combine to drop temperatures to dangerous levels. The wind chill chart located on the NOAA website can help you and your
Family to dress accordingly when venturing outside on cold North Country days.

Each year, the first Friday of February is a day when we call attention to the #1 killer of women: heart disease. It is also a day when we celebrate the women who are taking action to protect their hearts. Taking good care of your heart means: controlling your risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high blood ® cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and being overweight. On February 1, join The Heart Truth and wear red! Help us promote the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.

SAFETY JOHN DROZD, 315-772-3022 • SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS: Most winter falling accidents happen in parking lots. To ensure your safety make sure your feet are firmly planted when exiting your vehicle. If uncertain of surface conditions, shuffle your feet and keep your arms close to your sides until you determine it is safe to walk normally. If carrying packages, carry them close to your body. Over the ankle shoes or boots with slip resistant soles and stretch slip-on over-the-boot studded walking aids are always appropriate during the winter months. • REDUCING WINTER DRIVING ACCIDENTS: The most important thing is to slow down and drive according to conditions. Just as important is see and be seen. Clear all glass and lights of snow before starting out. Don't hesitate to use emergency flashers if you feel uncomfortable about the vehicles behind you. Using your low beams at all times, even during daylight hours can reduce your chances of an accident by 20%. Have situational awareness of weather conditions where you are departing from, your destination and all points in between can help you avoid accidents or being stranded alongside the road way. Monitor weather reports, pull up the weather channel on your computer or utilize the New York State Department of Transportation or dial 511 on your phone to receive local and regional driving conditions. Pack a survival kit with items presented at the November CLIF in sufficient quantities for all passengers to keep them comfortable for 8-12 hours, until roads can be plowed/cleared. • PREVENTING COLD WEATHER INJURIES: Cold weather injuries can happen in less than five minutes if the temperature and wind chill combine to drop temperatures to dangerous levels. The wind chill chart located on the NOAA website can help you and your Family to dress accordingly when venturing outside on cold North Country days. NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?
