***Families, caregivers, patients, staff and students are welcome to attend these sessions***

August 21st Session- 2pm in Jennie Sealy 2.506B

Presented by: Foot and Ankle Podiatrist Oluwatosin “Fatima” Ogunlana, DPM

Topic: “Primary Foot Care”

Overview: Taking care of your feet today can help prevent foot problems tomorrow. If you already have foot problems, good foot hygiene will help keep these problems in check and may help some of them disappear altogether. Join us during this session as we discuss common foot care issues in adults, how to take care of your feet and when to see a foot and ankle specialist.

Please encourage caregivers, family members and patients to attend! 

"Time-Out “is a weekly educational/support session for caregivers and family members of UTMB patients, to support them in their adjustment and maintenance of their caregiving role.  These sessions will not be tied to a specific diagnosis- all caregivers and family members are welcome.  The hope is that these sessions will provide a chance for them to have “time out” to relieve some stress, have a little fun, build on care giving skills, decrease burnout and affirm that they are not alone in the role of caregiving.

These sessions are facilitated by UTMB students and staff and will occur every Wednesday at 2pm in Jennie Sealy 2.506A.  Sessions will last around 30 minutes and will address topics that falls into the following categories: Relaxation, Self-Care, Discharge Planning and Medical Topics.  

If you have questions or are interested in facilitating a session, please contact Savannah Parks at sjparks@utmb.edu or 409-266-7542.
