During Medical
Monday for July, Steve Walkotte, MD, will talk about when to use the emergency department
and when a condition, illness, or injury needs immediate medical attention.
Medical Monday is
at 1 p.m. on July 8 at Central United Methodist Church, 1425 E. Main St. in Richmond.
The second
guest at Medical Monday will be Sarah Murlin, Marketing Manager for Reid
Health's Marketing & Communications department. She'll talk about MyReid, the
new mobile app that includes everything MyChart was and much more, putting the
patient in control of their healthcare.
The app makes
it easy to manage everything a patient needs, from self-scheduling visits with
primary and specialty care providers to billing and insurance information,
requesting prescription refills, receiving test results, getting a price
estimate for an upcoming procedure, and much more.
Murlin will
also present on MyReid as the topic for Thriving Thursday at 11:30 a.m. on July
11 in Connersville at the Fayette County Senior Center, 477 N. Grand Ave.
Both events are
free to attend. To register, call Sharrie Harlin at (765) 983-3000, ext. 4676.
Medical Monday
and Thriving Thursday are supported by Reid Health Community Benefit. Harlin
started Medical Monday when she worked for the Minority Health Coalition and
maintained it after joining Reid Health. The events have loyal followings,
averaging 40 to 50 guests each month to learn about various health issues,
community programs, and health screenings.
