Since 1984, Dr Wu has made health education an intergral part of the medical practice. Specific topics addressing the holistic care of chronic problems, such as hypertension, diabetes, allergy, obesity, and pain have been offered again and again to improve patients' understanding of the isssues and to educate them about the benefits of holistic lifestyle and treatment changes.
Besides the annual spring health seminars , that are offered to the public, Dr. Wu has instituted montly health health maintenance programs for small groups of patients with chronic problems. The topics are rotated.
The
health maintenance program at PCMC is a series of
educational sessions for Dr. Wu's patients to understand
and prevent diseases, to reduce complications and
to maintain health and vitality.
Each session is an hour-long group meeting with
information exchange, review of personal concerns
and hands-on practice of self-care. This is a step
beyond individual visits to the Doctor's office
with benefits especially for people with chronic
conditions.
You are recommended to register for those sessions
which take place at PCMC. Topics are as follows:
* High blood pressure and cardiovascular health
* Weight problems and metabolic syndrome (high cholesterol
and diabetes)
* Quality of life and stress reduction
* Depression, mood disorder and insomnia
* Arthritis, chronic pain syndrome and fibromyalgia
