Courtesy Carrier

Diabetes Education
A four-session class is designed for newly diagnosed diabetics and diabetics who wish to learn more about their illness. The outpatient diabetes education program requires a physician order for admission, and the physician receives a written report at the conclusion. In a small class setting, participants learn how to monitor diabetes, common medications and their effects, possible complications, foot care, proper exercise, coping with psychological effects, nutrition and general daily care. Call 330-386-2005.

Quit Smoking Class
This intensive quit-smoking program is designed for smokers who have tried to quit and failed. Desire to quit smoking is the single most important factor in success. Classes meet from 6-8 pm on Tuesday and Thursday for eight weeks. Call 330-386-2670 to find out when the next class begins. This class is offered free as a community service.

Home Health Care
You may require nursing care, therapy, personal aide, housekeeping or other services in the home after discharge from the hospital. Some health services can be prescribed by your physician and may be covered by your insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. You may qualify for payment of other services, such as housekeeping, through a program such as Passport, which is designed to keep people in their homes as an alternative to nursing home care. These services can be provided locally by one of several qualified home health agencies. Ask your nurse to contact a social worker before your discharge and that person will help you obtain these services. You will be given a list naming agencies that service our area. Ohio Valley Home Health, a non-profit visiting Nurse Association, is a local agency affiliated with East Liverpool City Hospital. You may contact it directly by calling 330-385-2333.
