PERSPECTIVES Stay Connected TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 FEATURES ‘Not a Hitch in her Giddy-up’ Ginger Gibbs looked to Parkview Healthcare Facility to restore her mobility after a stroke. 6 circle of inﬂuence From Facebook and phone apps to Twitter and texting, it’s more convenient than ever to stay connected. In fact, being a people person has never been so easy. That said, the people we spend the most time with can wield enormous power over our health and habits—the good, the bad and the ugly. Check out our cover story, “Circle of Influence,” to make sure you’re tapping the very best from your family, social and professional interactions. Speaking of people skills, there’s nothing like sharing hard-won wisdom with others who are walking a rough road. That’s exactly what breast cancer survivors do in our feature, “Words of Inspiration,” on page 10. If you’re grappling with a new cancer diagnosis, learn how to find the resolve and the resources you will need—from women who have been there. In our Q+A article, “Generation Boomeritis,” discover how to reduce your risk of injury as you age. You will find that “acting your age” may simply involve adopting injuryprevention strategies to make your golden years, well, golden. Find out the details on page 14. Amid life’s many and varied demands, we hope this issue makes the “everydayness” of living a little easier. From finding online resources on page 5 for people who have diabetes to outlining simple ingredients to spruce up your dinner salad in “Turn Over a New Leaf” on page 12, we want you to feel connected. To helpful information. To people. And, ultimately, to better health. Meet the five people most likely to influence your health—and learn how you can make these relationships the healthiest they can be. FOLLOW CMH Donald J.
