Enhancing Personal Care

For Your Good Health…

Tips for enhancing personal health

Self Care is defined as “those activities which individuals, families and communities undertake with the intention of enhancing health, preventing disease, limiting illness, and restoring health” by The World Health Organization (the United Nations specialized health agency based in Geneva, Switzerland)

When trying to enhance or maintain your health, it is important to design a long-term healthy-eating and healthy-living plan that fits your individual goals and lifestyle.

Optimal health requires a team effort between the individual and their health care providers.

The self care services at Carnegie-Sargent’s Pharmacy and Health Center are designed to help clients become more self-reliant.

Under our client’s direction, we can identify individual personal needs, and determine appropriate resources to resolve those needs.
We can coordinate services and provide the support necessary to meet all expectations.

Our staffs’ goal is to help people optimize the use of the health care system by enhancing the communication between providers and users of
the health care system.

The types of issues you can discuss with our staff include, but are not limited to:

• Head Ache, Fever, Muscle and Joint Pain
• Constipation, Diarrhea and Acid Reflux
• Asthma, Colds and Allergies
• Oral Hygiene
• Eye, Foot and Hair Care
• Skin Care (dry, oily, sunburns, diaper rash, hair loss, acne, etc.)
• Wound Care (superficial bacterial, viral and fungal infections)
• Assistance selecting the proper devices to monitor disease states (blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, etc.)
• Home Medical Equipment (Canes, wheelchairs, bathroom safety equipment, compression stockings, etc.)
• Dietary Supplement Guidance
• Home Care Companions (Carnegie-Sargent’s Pharmacy is uniquely qualified to provide advice due to our affiliation with Water Tower Nursing and Home Care)

make the simple changes that can lead to a lifetime of healthy living.
