Berks County Medical Society Medical Record Summer 2019 - 10

Some Much Needed
R and R!
T.J. Huckleberry, MPA
Executive Director

A

h summer! The season of baseball, golf, nature, vacations,
and pool days. Or if you are a mojito- is-half-empty kind
of person, the season of sun burn, tennis elbow, spotted
lanternflies, long painful car and plane rides with screaming kids
behind you, and swimmers' ear.
In terms of the Medical Society, at least for your Executive
Director, Summer is a time to catch your breath after a very hectic
Winter and Spring. As most of you know, we have had a very
successful and busy 2019 so far. Between our Installation Brunch,
Drug Take-Back Day, Residents' Day and Memorial Lecture, and
our Spring Golf outing, it is easy to a say a little break is needed.
So with that being said...Adios Doctors and Doctoras!
Huckleberry is out on Summer Vacation! But before I go...
allow me to steal some inspiring quotes and use them to highlight
our upcoming events and programs.

In every walk with nature one receives far more
than he seeks.
- John Muir
Personally, I am truly excited to announce our Medical Society's
upcoming partnership with Berks Nature to start a program called
Nature Rx. While this program is still very much in its infancy, its
objectives are simple yet profoundly important to the welfare of our
community. Nature Rx will promote the health benefits of our truly
untapped natural recreational resources for our children, our at -risk,
and our already active community.

Berks County's park lands, trails, streams, meadows, and bike
paths are truly one of our best kept secrets and no matter where you
live you are mere miles from its potential. The great outdoors is
free medicine and it is abundant throughout our community. Our
partnership with Berks Nature is a very exciting opportunity for our
Society and, more importantly for your patients.
Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, if you are
interested in being a part of the Nature Rx program please do not
hesitate to reach out to me directly...after my vacation! Thanks.

This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It
reminds us of all that once was good and that could
be again. Oh...people will come Ray. People will
most definitely come."
- James Earl Jones, Field of Dreams
Well, if there is one thing the last couple Augusts have proven
it is if we host our annual all -members mixer at First Energy
Stadium...doctors will most definitely come. And why not? Good
food, good company, and good baseball are all available under the
stadium's right field pavilion. Of course, the fireworks, beer and
cocktails, and swimming pool might also explain why this event has
been sold out three years in a row.
This event is unique because it not only is designed to welcome
new physicians, but is also a chance to bring your family to a
Medical Society gathering.
If you are member looking to attend, or interested in sponsoring
this event, again give me a call...after my vacation.
