Marilou Reyes (HS '68) tells her classmates about the STAA-Sponsored Health Fair

Dear Folks,

Those of you who missed the Health Fair and Aging Gracefully Workshop sponsored by our STCQC Alumnae Association, specifically the "Bahay Teresa" Committee, you missed a golden opportunity to avail of medical services that would have cost several thousands of pesos but which we got for free, thanks to Secretary Rodica. In addition, we also got very valuable information regarding dementia, alzheimers, "OLD ADULTHOOD:" and menopause.

Thank you to our batch mates who came---Arit Katigbak (she was one of the work horses for this activity), Boots dela Cruz, Zone Narito, Mel Lopez, DJ de Jesus, Bubut Bunag, Billie Villavicencio and Imelda Nerida.

I personally was able to avail of the ff:

1. Blood Sugar -(normal, thank God)
2. ECG (normal also) 
3. Blood Typing ( A+ pala ako)
4. Flu vaccination
5. Derma ( I have to have a wart cauterized)
6. Bone density ( results showed that I have osteoperosis but at least I am aware of my condition was prescribed medicines to take daily and now I know I have to be careful and can no longer do cartwheels and pole dance).
7. Breast examination (normal)

Other services that were also available were:

1. Neurology
2. eye Exam
3. Hearing exam
4. Pap smear

Personally, I am scared of going to the doctor but since this opportunity was available, I mustered my fear and took advantage of the medical services available, thanks to the STAA..

So again, my thanks to STAA for a very valuable activity which was an opportunity for Theresians to bond but also to be informed about living a healthy life style, especially now that many of us are "SENIORS".
