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.
