Learn from Your Laptop with YRMC’s Healthy Conversations

April 30, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

“Healthy Conversations includes top medical experts from our community,” said Boush.

The concept of health and wellness has come a long way. You may remember the workout tapes that once captivated Americans. Or the weight-loss strategies involving cabbage soup, cookies and grapefruit people pursued over the years, sometimes at a cost to their health.

“Today, people view health and wellness through a broader and more sophisticated lens,” said Ken Boush, director of marketing and communications at Dignity Health, Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC). “They’re concerned about all aspects of their health and are discriminating about the source of their health information.”

Healthy Conversations, YRMC’s online speakers’ bureau, is designed for today’s savvy healthcare consumer. Launched in 2020, Healthy Conversations features:

  •  A diverse menu of health and wellness topics
  •  Knowledgeable, local healthcare providers
  •  Brief, informative videos
  •  Easy-to-access, on-demand videos
  •  A regular flow of new health and wellness topics

 

“Healthy Conversations includes top medical experts from our community,” said Boush. “There’s a leading orthopedic surgeon who talks about the latest hip replacement surgery, an experienced dietitian who teaches you how to count carbs and many more healthcare providers sharing accurate information.”

Check out the following Healthy Conversations topics, presented by YRMC healthcare providers and Dignity Health, Yavapai Regional Medical Group (YRMG) physicians:
