Dr. Red Duke to Speak For Rural Hospitals
“Hello, this is Dr. Red
Duke for West Community
Hospital.”
In a new series of radio
public service announce-
ments for rural community
hospitals, the distinctive,
twangy voice of Dr. James
“Red” Duke, well-known
trauma surgeon, will now be
heard by thousands of Texas
residents.
The radio spots were
developed by Hermann Affi-
liated Hospitals (AHS) and
are co-sponsored by AHS,
the University of Texas
Health Science Center at
Houston (UTHSCH) and
participating Texas radio
stations
Many of AHS’ radio spots
address broad issues such as
the benefits of belonging to
a multihospital system,
Medicare and the DRG
reimbursement system, and
a rural hospital's importance
to its community from an
economic standpoint
Duke also talks about
specific health care service
the community hospital can
provide and offers some
sage advice on how patients
can become 'partners in
good health’ with their
family physicians.
Duke, the medical spokes-
person for AHS and the host
to the Texas Health Reports,
is a professor of surgery at
the UTHSCH Medical
School and medical director
for Life Flight operations at
Houston’s Hermann Hospi-
tal.

ment to be an advocate for
quality health care through-
out Texas.
“It is Duke’s own huma-
nity, laced with common
sense, that makes people
listen when he tells them
how to stay healthy,” said
William E. Young, AHS
chief executive officer. “His
academic credentials bring
him respect. It’s the
down-home touch that earns
him goodwill ”

In November, the group
was busy selling candy.
Thanks to many West
residents the combined total

72 per person. Jennifer
French was top salesman
with 200 boxes. Jennifer
Killgore had 150 in second

The group made tray

At Christmas, the council

gave a toy for the Marines.
After the first of the year
the club worked on Valen-

In March, the group
learned to paint with acrylic

Research has shown that
delaying harvest results in

Enzyme Helps in Milk Digestion
If you have trouble digesting milk, try to drink a small-
er amount at one time, eat yogurt or cheese, or drink
milk with lactase, advises a Texas A&M University
Agricultural Extension Service nutritionist.
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down milk sugar,
says Dr. Dymple Cooksey. You may find milk already
containing lactase in the grocery store, or you can buy
lactase in a drug store and add it to your milk.
Substitutes, If You Don’t Like Milk
If you don t drink milk because you simply don’t like
it, Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension
Service nutritionists recommend eating more of other
foods that include calcium.
High calcium foods include those made with milk or
cheese and tofu, a soybean product that is often made
with calcium sulfate. Dark green leafy vegetables and
tortillas made with cornmeal also provide some
calcium. Canned or dried fish with edible bones, such
as salmon, will also contribute calcium to the diet.—
Supplemental Security Income Payments
If you receive supplemental security income
payments, be sure to let Social Security know about
any changes which could affect your payment,”
according to Brenda Rowan, field representative of
the Social Security office in Waco.
If you return to work, enter or leave a nursing home
or hospital, or change your living arrangements, let
Social Security know within 10 days after the end of
the month, she added.
