Port Arthur Senior Expo Sponsor Golden Triangle Cancer Center Thank you to the Teri & Glen Mogan Golden Triangle Cancer Center. They will be at the 2017 Port Arthur Senior Expo Series to discuss local cancer treatment opportunities for Southeast Texas.

“We all deal with cancer one way or another,” said Beaumont attorney Glen Morgan when asked why he thought it was important for he and his wife, Teri, to help open a new cancer treatment center in Port Arthur. “In my practice, I represented thousands and thousands of people with it. This community has been so good to us that we thought this was a way for us to return something.”

The Teri & Glen Morgan Golden Triangle Cancer Center offers Southeast Texas the latest treatment and technology in the fight against cancer.

The Medical Director and Radiation Oncologist is Dr. Trip Chaudhury.

Chaudhury and Golden Triangle Cancer Center offer state-of-the-art equipment, valued at around $2 million. This equipment allows Dr. Chadhury to administer precise radiation treatment to cancer cells.

The system is praised for allowing Golden Triangle Cancer Center to administer more radiation to the cancer and have less side effect for our seniors. Essentially the system pinpoints the cancer - and treatment.

The process, known as a photon treatment, only takes about 4 minutes.

Would you like to know more? Visit Golden Triangle Cancer Center at the Port Arthur Senior Expo - or call to schedule a consultation. ,

TOPS Club – Real People. Real Weight Loss.

Are you looking to increase your health by losing weight?

TOPS Club is a popular resource here in Southeast Texas.

They bring a “support” approach to weight loss that is popular with local seniors.

TOPS can help you reach your weight-loss goals by providing you with the tools, information, support, and accountability you need to be successful. The system has been a winning formula for TOPS members for over 60 years.

There are several groups that meet in the Golden Triangle.

You choose to join a local chapter or become an online member. Weekly meetings provide a supportive, educational environment where people are encouraged and not judged.

TOPS Club does not sell foods, endorse products, or push a onesize fits all meal plan. They system To Advertise Call (512) 567-8068 Today!

encourages you to choose foods you enjoy, in moderation, on the TOPS meal plan. The flexible guidelines help you control calories while eating real food that you make at home or order in a restaurant. For many of our seniors this last part is important – it is nice to relax over a meal in a restaurant with friends and family.

At the same time, we do not want that experience to throw us off of our goal to eat healthily. A few tools and words of encouragement can help us make healthy decisions – at home, in restaurants, and even at parties.

Interested in checking it out? Your first visit to a local TOPS Club chapter is free. Each chapter is a little different, so you may want to try more than one.

If face-to-face meetings aren’t your style or if you can’t find a meeting that fits your schedule, you can be an online member and still take advantage of our experts’ tips and our many print and online materials.

The Museum of the Gulf Coast Preserving the History of Mid County & Southeast Texas The Museum of the Gulf Coast will be at the Port Arthur Senior Expo to talk about local history and legendary characters.

Have you been to the Museum of the Gulf Coast? Check it out with friends or with your grandkids.

They have a great Janis Joplin exhibit with a replica of her famous Porsche, statues, and memorabilia. You can even pick up a brick from Janis’ childhood home in the gift shop.

Janis isn’t the only local legend enshrined at the Museum of the Gulf Coast.

They have several Hall of Fame collections including: x Sports legends including Jimmy Johnson and Bum Phillips x

Music icons from Jivin’ Gene to UGK

x

Entertainment. You would be amazed at all of the Hollywood players from the Golden Triangle – Francis Fisher, Oscar Winner Leah Rhodes, and producer Leanne Moore

x

Political figures and news makers including Karen Silkwood and John Tower

The Museum of the Gulf Coast’s permanent collection brings to life the history of the region. You can learn about Native Americans, the original European settlers, the oil field boom, and more.

Check their website regularly for traveling exhibits. One of my favorites was a collection of bunks from a Vietnam era troop ship. U.S. GIs had covered their bunks, their only private space with graffiti, art, and music lyrics. The exhibit evoked echoes of their youth, uncertainty into the experiences that waited upon their arrival in Asia, and a time capsule of a unique period in American history.

Are you looking for a fun volunteer opportunity? The Museum of the Gulf Coast offers a great volunteer experience. Work the front desk, host tours (frequently for senior groups), or assist with family fun days.

Speaking of Family Fun Days… Do you have grandkids? Ask about their next family fun day. These special events frequently include a special new exhibit, kid friendly crafts and games, and sometimes even a movie related to the new exhibit’s theme. The museum also hosts a number of seasonal events – Halloween, Christmas.
