POWER BOWL

To curb

cravings this time of

year, make a hearty,

nutritious vegetable

soup and eat it before

meals and parties. It

fills you up, but it’s low

in fat and calories.

RHYTHM CONCERNS

If your heart flutters,

does flip-flops or beats

rapidly—even if it hap-

pens only occasionally

and then returns to

normal—tell your

doctor. It could be a

condition called atrial

fibrillation, which raises

the risk of stroke.

DETAILS, PLEASE

When describing symp-

toms to your doctor, be

specific. Mention what

they are, when they

started, how often they

happen, what makes

them worse or better,

and how long they last.

ONE-STOP HEALTHCARE

At the

clinic, a wide range of healthcare

services are available for people

of all ages. These include wellness

visits, vaccinations, diagnoses and

treatments for a variety of health

conditions, and referrals to spe-

cialized care if needed.

The clinic offers a comfort-

able waiting room for patients,

four exam rooms, two offices for

healthcare providers, and a labora-

tory where certain tests are done

on-site.

Both walk-in patients and those

with appointments are welcome.

READY TO SEE YOU

Three primary

care providers see patients at the

clinic. Two are on duty each day.

William “Bill” Dailey, MD, is

a board-certified family practice

physician. Candi Baker, FNP-BC,

and Emily Baker, FNP-BC, are

both board-certified family nurse

practitioners.

Dr. Dailey is at the clinic on

Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and a

nurse practitioner is available five

days a week.

LOOKING AHEAD

While GVMH

expects to serve patients in

Osceola for years to come, the

clinic’s current home is only tem-

porary, Adkins says.

“Our hope is to identify land for

a permanent location and begin

building within a year,” he says.

Among other things, the facil-

ity will house physical, occupa-

tional and speech therapy centers;

cardiac and other rehabilitation

services; and a broad range of

imaging services.

“We are committing long-term

to Osceola,” Adkins says. “We’re

going to increase the services

available and do what we can

to help the citizens there reduce

the need to travel to receive

quality care.”

n many small towns, quality healthcare is a rare,

vanishing concept. Not so in Osceola, thanks to

Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH).

GVMH opened a primary care office in October, right on

Osceola’s downtown square. The location makes healthcare much

more convenient for area residents, some of whom used to drive

30 minutes or more to see a doctor.

“It has been very important to us to increase access to healthcare in

St. Clair County and Osceola specifically,” says Kyle D. Adkins, GVMH’s

administrator of physician clinics.

The clinic, located at 286 Chestnut St.

in Osceola, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday. For an

appointment, call 417-646-2231.
