Nurse HealthLine 24/7 from AARP

We’ve all been hearing a lot about health care and how our system is about to change. Well, that’s really not news, if you have been keeping your eyes open lately there have been lots of changes taking place besides the HealthCare Reform. Lately when I’ve gone into Walgreens or CVS pharmacy there’s been a number of people waiting to take advantage of the Minute Clinic, instead of going to the hospital or the doctors’ office for minor ailments. Talk about having almost instant access to medical care.

And the other day, I got a mailing from AARP telling me I should “know my numbers”, be aware of “superfoods” that are great tasting and good for you, and after all that I should be “working out” to stay healthier. Plus, you know what, they provided a 24/7 telephone number to call a Nurse HealthLine -1.888.543.5630- to get help with any of these suggestions you aren’t sure about.

I don’t know about you, but in my 93 years, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I’m still working my way through the thought process, but right now I think it sure makes it easy to get minor medical and health information quickly.

See you out there again soon,
Helen
