Classes
Bariatric
and Orthopedic Seminars
Warren
County Learning Center hosts seminars to educate the community regarding their
bariatric and orthopedic procedures, and St. Vincent Williamsport Hospital is a
sponsor of these community outreach events.
Bariatric
Because
of the obesity crisis in Indiana, bariatric surgery has been an important tool
in the physician arsenal to help
patients lead healthy, productive lives. St. Vincent Williamsport staff provide
educational materials and expertise in explaining bariatric surgery options and
the important issues that must be considered in matching individual patients
with the most appropriate option. A monthly support group provides ongoing
education and support for pre and post bariatric surgery patients.
Orthopedic
The
orthopedic seminar, conducted by a St.Vincent orthopedist, provides education
on common orthopedic injuries, such as knee and wrist fractures, rotator cuff
injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome, and the options for therapy, repair and
prevention.
