CALENDAR 2 • LAKE COUNTRY POST • MAY 16, 2015 GMTODAY.COM HEALTH CITY OF PEWAUKEE — ProHealth Care announced Thursday that it has formed a collaboration with two other leading health care systems in Wisconsin — Aurora Health Care and UW Health. According to the announcement, Pro- Health Care and UW Health have signed an agreement to co-manage ProHealth Care's new cancer center in the City of Pewaukee. Aurora Health Care, in addition, will have several cancer specialists delivering care at the new center. This is the first step in Auro- ra moving toward a more clinically inte- grated relationship with UW Health and ProHealth Care in cancer care, according to the announcement. "The people of ProHealth Care have been improving care in Waukesha County for 100 years," said Susan Edwards, chief executive officer of ProHealth Care, in a statement. "We have long offered excellent cancer ser- vices. Now, with this collaboration with UW Health and Aurora, we are taking a giant leap forward in cancer services." The state-of-the-art cancer center is near- ing completion just off Interstate 94 and Highway 164. The center is slated to open Aug. 10 and will bring together physicians, staff, diagnostics and treatment technology. UW Health's Carbone Cancer Center is the only federally designated comprehen- sive cancer center in the state. The organi- zation will provide medical direction for the treatment of all cancer patients at the City of Pewaukee location. "As one of the state's leading providers in cancer care and research, we're pleased to be able to bring our expertise to the table in this way to help more people live well," said Dr. Nick Turkal, chief executive officer of Aurora Health Care, in a statement. "While this is exciting news for the three health systems, we think it is even more exciting for the people who stand to benefit so greatly." The new 116,000-square-foot cancer center will offer infusion therapy, radiation thera- py, imaging services, cancer rehabilitation and other services. "Cancer is the leading cause of death in our state," said Dr. Howard Bailey, director of the UW Carbone Cancer Center. "We are committed to redefining, and refining, 'state of the art' in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This new opportunity will help us accelerate our translation of the basic sci- ence discoveries in our center's laboratories into new and innovative approaches to can- cer care." — Katherine Michalets, Enterprise Staff Health systems team up ProHealth Care, Aurora, UW Health collaborate to offer cancer care Submitted rendering ProHealth Care and UW Health have signed an agreement to co-manage ProHealth Care's new cancer center in the City of Pewaukee.

Animals come out of hiding and hibernation while trees and flowers bloom anew. The spring season can be an exciting time for naturalists and lovers of the great out- doors because they can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of nature. But for many people, spring also marks the start of allergy season and spend- ing time outdoors can become downright uncom- fortable for them. The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunol- ogy says nasal allergies affect approximately 50 mil- lion people in the United States. Allergic diseases, including asthma, are the fifth most prevalent chronic diseases among people of all ages and the third most com- mon in children. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, can occur in spring, summer or early fall. People who experi- ence hay fever often can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, or air- borne mold spores. No two allergy sufferers are alike, so medications that may work for one per- son may be only mildly effec- tive for another. Many medi- cations can cause side effects, which may be just as frustrating as the initial allergy symptoms. Treat- ments may target sneezing and itching but fail to clear up congestion. Drowsiness, dry mouth and nasal irrita- tion may be side effects of common allergy drugs. People who want to avoid allergy medication can look to natural remedies to allevi- ate their symptoms. Whether used alone or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies may make spending time outdoors more pleasant. ■ Try probiotics. Probi- otics, those friendly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more than just treat an upset stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also can influence the immune sys- tem and may help strength- en its response to common allergens. Since probiotics are good for replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway, many people may want to keep taking them once their allergy symptoms have come and gone. ■ Use neti pots or saline sprays. A small amount of saltwater can rinse away allergens, such as pollen, that get lodged in the nose. These rinses also can help clear up congestion and flush out any other irritants. ■ Load up on omega-3s. A German study published in the journal Allergy found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suf- fer allergy symptoms than those who didn't regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s can help fight inflammation. Drinking more fluids and using spices in cooking can help flush out allergens as well. ■ Don't forget vitamin C. Vitamin C is an immune-sys- tem booster and may help prevent the formation of histamine in the body, a sub- stance responsible for many allergy symptoms.
