LifeCare's brand new
Greenbush Medical Park
is expected to open in
just a few short months.
The final phases of
construction are
expected to roll out
smoothly with residents
moving in early this
fall, according to
LifeCare's Shannon
Carlson, administrator
of the project.
"We've come a long way
in a relatively short
time. It's hard to
believe it was less than
two years ago that this
very spot was an empty
field," he says. "This
final push toward
completion will be an
exciting time for
everyone."
Carlson says the
facility will have an
incredibly positive
impact on the city of
Greenbush as well as
neighboring communities.
Located on the west edge
of Greenbush, the
projected $8.2 million
complex will include a
40-bed skilled nursing
facility, 12 assisted
living apartments, a
primary care clinic, and
local offices for
several LifeCare
departments.
This includes Behavioral
Health, HomeCare, and
Rehabilitation Services.
The building also will
include a wellness
center with memberships
available to the
community.
Regularly scheduled
updates including
construction photos,
stories, and other
information will be
posted online at
www.lifecaremedicalcenter.org.

LifeCare's Dawn
Hedlund to present eight-week Mindful Eating
Workshop
Program
addresses overeating and yoyo dieting |
LifeCare's Dawn Hedlund is now a licensed
facilitator of Am I Hungry?, a comprehensive program that
teaches participants to recognize and cope with triggers for
overeating.
|
 |
The 8-week workshop also helps
participants determine what, when, and how much to eat
without restrictive diet rules.
Hedlund, a Registered Dietitian and Wellness Coordinator at
LifeCare, became interested in the idea after coordinating
last year's LifeCare sponsored presentation by Am I Hungry?
founder Michelle May, M.D.
Dr. May developed the Am I Hungry? workshop to address what
she sees as the real causes of overeating and yoyo dieting.
In her book, titled Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat,
she claims, "Most diets fail because they are negative and
unsustainable, leaving the dieter feeling guilty and
disappointed. Diets focus on what people should eat without
addressing why they eat in the first place. As a result, the
overeating cycle is never really broken."
The Am I Hungry? workshop will meet Wednesdays from July 7
through August 25, from 3:00 ñ 4:30 p.m. in the Delmore
Conference Room at LifeCare Medical Center in Roseau.
Seating is limited. Please pre-register by email: dhedlund@lifecaremc.com,
or call (218) 463-4773.
