Influencing the Industry: How to Pick a Breast Reconstructive Surgeon
For mastectomy patients who choose to undergo breast reconstruction—approximately 40% of the population—selecting a plastic surgeon and reconstruction type can be stressful. A new HealthCentral article aims to take the guesswork out of the process. Most patients choose between an implant-based reconstruction or flap reconstruction. An implant-based procedure uses breast implants to reconstruct the breast while flap reconstruction uses a patient’s own tissue from another part of the body, most commonly your stomach. “If you decide to use your tissue, you probably don’t need to see a plastic surgeon again unless you want a revision,” says Justin M. Broyles, MD, a plastic surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Health located in Boston, MA. Because your own tissue is being used, additional maintenance after surgery is not typically needed. “That is just not the case with implants,” says Broyles. “Implants will require continuous monitoring throughout the patient’s life to assess for rupture or a replacement of the device. According to the FDA, implants need to be replaced every ten years.”

FRISCO, Texas, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The national patient assistance and advocacy non-profit Good Days and the leading wellness and condition-specific digital health platform HealthCentral will host a Facebook livestream on addressing health disparities and promoting health equity in America on Thursday, June 10, 2021 at 10am PST / 12pm CST / 1pm EST at www.facebook.com/HealthCentral . Minority groups were already disproportionately impacted by chronic illness before COVID exacerbated social and racial inequalities in our healthcare system. Public health experts, policy makers and community leaders will deliver remarks and join a panel discussion moderated by Julia Savacool, executive editor at HealthCentral, on ways we can work together to advance health equity in America. The livestream will conclude with a keynote address by Nathan Stinson Jr., Phd, MD, MPH, director of the division of scientific programs at the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). "The disproportionate toll of COVID-19 on communities of color has forced our nation to reckon with disparities that existed long before the virus started to spread," says Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (D-IL). "As we emerge from this pandemic, we need to take bold action to address the underlying causes of these inequities, including systemic racism itself." "We need the support of all community leaders to affect real change in the health disparities that are worsening across the country," says Clorinda Walley, president of Good Days. "We're proud to offer a platform that brings together national leaders in public health policy and grassroots activists to share insights on how we can all work together to expand access to care and accelerate healthy equity for all Americans. " 
"All people have the right to quality health care and optimal health," says Julia Savacool, executive editor at HealthCentral. "It is essential that we continue to amplify a range of diverse voices and opinions on the critical subject of minority health disparities so that we can work towards developing lasting solutions for communities in need of change.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Traditional Latinx recipes website Familia Kitchen  is partnering with leading health website HealthCentral  to create a special Latinx menu showcasing 8 new Healthy & Delicioso recipes of traditional Latino dishes. These good-for-you food makeovers are authentic, delicious and nutritious, especially for Latinos seeking diabetes-friendly options. Healthy & Delicioso Simple Taco Bar
Latinos are at higher risk (17%) of having diabetes and diabetes complications than non-Hispanic whites (8%), according to the CDC . And, "Latinos also are more likely to be overweight, which is linked to higher rates of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and strokes," adds Kim Caviness founder, CEO and editor-in-chief. That's why these two trusted experts—Familia Kitchen for real-deal Latino cooking and HealthCentral, whose mission is to help others create their healthiest life—came together. Can you have pumpkin flan and arroz con pollo and be healthy, too? Si, says Familia Kitchen, offering twists on popular Latinx foods and drinks. With unmistakably authentic Healthy & Delicioso recipes for favorites like flan, yuca fritters, nachos, arroz con pollo, margaritas and pastel de chocolate. The recipes were given an expert makeover to create healthy, traditional fare: mucho amazing flavor, minus the sugar and fat. To create the eight Healthy & Delicioso recipes, Familia Kitchen turned to one of our favorite Familia Kitchen cocineras, Naihomy Jerez, for one of her famous food flips. Not only is she a great Dominican homecook, Naihomy is a health and food expert who lost almost 50 pounds five years ago—and has kept it off. Naihomy has since devoted herself to her own food and wellness consultancy,  Bagels & Brussels . She advises clients—many of them Latinas like herself who love fried yuca, tacos and arroz con pollo—how to flip their favorite foods, keep the flavor, lessen their chances of getting diabetes, and look and feel great. FamiliaKitchen.com recently launched to collect, preserve and celebrate favorite family recipes and cooking traditions of the 66-million-plus Latinos living in the United States. The website's abuela-style, authentic recipes speak to the website's commitment to build—with mucho, mucho amor—the most complete, authentic and largest collection of traditional recipes, how-to tips and cooking techniques brought by Latinos from 19 Latin American and Caribbean Spanish-speaking homelands. About FAMILIA KITCHEN
Familia Kitchen is on a mission to collect, curate and celebrate our traditional Latinx culinary heritage at its most authentic and delicious. We're building a family treasury of our favorite abuela-cooking recipes from all the Spanish speaking places we come from. Let's cook our way home—together. Learn more at https://familiakitchen.com
