SUMMARY:Perinatal Support Connections - Albany
DESCRIPTION:Every new baby is one-of-a-kind\, and so is every parent. Some parents seem to sail through pregnancy and parenthood with ease. Others ride a roller coaster of emotions\, feeling happy and excited one minute\, lonely and sad the next. \nPerinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)\, also known as Postpartum Depression\, can affect anyone who: \n\nIs currently pregnant.\nHas recently had a baby.\nHas ended a pregnancy or miscarried.\nHas stopped breastfeeding.\n\nWhether symptoms are mild or serious\, if they last longer than two weeks or affect a person’s ability to enjoy their daily life\, loved ones should encourage the parent to seek help. Early intervention is crucial to help patents and their families have a healthy\, long-lasting outcome. \nFor more information\, contact Amy Bliege at 541-812-4301 or email hopeformotherssupportgroup@samhealth.org.

SUMMARY:Advance Directive Workshop - Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital offers a monthly class for anyone with questions about how to fill out an Advance Directive form. \nThe Advance Directive is a set of instructions that expresses a person’s health care wishes if they were ever in the hospital and unable to speak for themselves. The Advance Directive tells the medical team who can speak for the patient and what the patient’s medical wishes are. While this document can feel overwhelming\, these workshops will attempt to make the confusing feel more understandable. \nDuring each session\, Chaplain Wes Sedlacek\, will provide education and will give people the opportunity to complete their own Advance Directive. Other topics will also be mentioned\, such as “quality of life” and the Portable Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form\, which is another document used to specify a person’s wishes\, especially about CPR. \nThe workshops take place the first Thursday of every month (except January\, July and December)\, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in Conference Room B in the back of the hospital (behind the coffee stand). \nDrop-ins are welcome but registration is requested.
