San Ramon Regional Medical Center will soon be offering a free weekly web series with the goal of helping residents learn how to stay healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.
Titled “Lunch Chats – Keeping You Healthy,” the free web series will feature a collection of local medical experts who will not only chat about ways to avoid COVID-19, but a plethora of other topics geared toward staying healthy in a variety of ways as well.
“By taking steps toward healthy living, you can help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and other medical issues. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean hours of training at the gym and eating only salad leaves, it’s about making easy-to-manage lifestyle choices,” hospital staff said in a statement.
Starting this Thursday, local health experts will be online to talk about dealing with specific health issues such as neck and back pain during the pandemic, vaccinations, surgical weight loss options, common pregnancy questions and actinic keratosis.
“We hope community members will join us for one or more of these webinars to help get on the path to living a happy, healthy life. Plus, participants can tune in from the comfort of their own home,” hospital staff said.
A full schedule of upcoming webinars includes the following:
* Jan. 21, “Neck and Back Issues in the Time of COVID-19,” featuring Dr. Saqib Hasan, orthopedic spine surgeon.
* Jan. 26, “Cut through all the Noise on COVID-19 Infection, Vaccine and Schools,” featuring Dr. Sam Pejham, pediatrics.
* Feb. 2, “Surgical Weight Loss Options,” featuring Dr. Aileen Murphy, general and bariatric surgeon.
* Feb. 10, “Advances in Sexual and Rejuvenative Medicine for Men,” featuring Dr. Judson Brandeis, board certified urologist and male sexual medicine expert.
* Feb. 17, “Most Asked Pregnancy Questions,” featuring Dr. Fadel Shammout, FACOG, OB/GYN.
* Feb. 24, “A Review and Updates on Actinic Keratosis,” featuring Dr. J. Elliott Call, medical dermatology.
All webinars are free to the community and will be held at 12:30 p.m. To register, residents can visit sanramonmedctr.com/events.
