Cardiology

When you need cardiology services, it’s good to know that you can find expert care close to home. Here in Fulton County, Pa., FCMC offers several top cardiology specialists on its staff to serve you. The Fulton County Medical Center offers full-time cardiology services led by Michael T. Donahoe, MD, Jeffrey S. Mandak, M.D. F.A.C.C, and Dustin Pine, PC-C.

When Seeing a Cardiologist Is a Good Idea and Event recording: The patient wears a portable device for a specified period of time, which is then returned to the medical office for evaluation.

There are many instances in which visiting a heart doctor can be a good thing and even save your life. Chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness can be signs that a heart attack has happened or is about to happen. Heart arrhythmias can go unnoticed until there are more serious symptoms and even signs of heart failure. An expert in cardiopulmonary treatment can determine what tests or procedures are right for you.

Technology is what makes our cardiopulmonary center in McConnellsburg, Pa., stand out. Department testing at our Fulton health clinic includes: • Electrocardiogram (EKG): Using patches and wires, and the machine they’re connected to, doctors can measure the electrical signals produced by the heart.

• Echocardiogram (ECHO): Sound waves are used to show how the heart is functioning, and to produce an image that lets a cardiologist see heart valves and other structures.

• Cardiac Stress Testing: An

• Cardioversion: Electrical stimulation, medication, or medical implants are used to restore a normal heart rhythm. Portable external defibrillators are an example of devices used as well.

• TransEsophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): A tube containing an ultrasound transducer is inserted into the throat to obtain clear images that can detect blood clots and infections.

• Ankle Brachial Index (ABI): Blood pressure is measured at the arm and the ankle, and both are compared to determine if a patient has peripheral artery disease.

Calendar of Events

“Six years ago I was diagnosed with type I diabetes. I was put on three medications to manage my A1C but I had no energy and felt sluggish. My life changed for the better in April 2019 when my daughter and I walked through the doors of the Wellness Center.

The encouragement and support from the staff have helped us along our journey. In the year since joining the center, I have lost about 21 pounds, my A1C has decreased from 8.1% to 6.3% and I have been able to get off of one of my medications! I encourage you to just take that one step and walk through the doors and get a life changing experience!” – Ruth Brubaker

Remaining active is one of the keys to maintaining good health. It’s also essential for healthy aging. Regular exercises offer many benefits, including: • Lower risk of chronic diseases,

such as diabetes and heart

disease • Improved mental well-being • Better quality of life • Increased mobility and

independence • Easier weight control • Better sleep • Pain relief • Improved self-esteem The FCMC Community Health and Wellness Center provides the ideal setting to help individuals meet their fitness goals with a variety of programs.

Yoga

Yoga celebrates the mindbody connection with a variety of practices that connect the breath with poses to improve strength and flexibility. It is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their current flexibility. There are a variety of practices that range from gentle to aerobic.

Pilates

Pilates offers similar health benefits as yoga, with an emphasis on strengthening the “powerhouse” muscles of the lower back, hips, and abdomen. Its goal is to improve balance and coordination using a series of controlled, non-jarring movements.

Pilates is an excellent option for building core strength for improved back health and improving posture.

It can also help reduce the chance of injury with better balance. It focuses on correct form rather the number of repetitions.

Zumba

Zumba classes bring energetic and musical elements to a workout program with lively Latin dance rhythms. The goal is to improve aerobic fitness and strength with a series of active dance moves and exercises.

As an aerobic workout, it’s a great way to burn lots of calories in a short period of time while in a fun setting. The sense of community it

provides can increase motivation for sticking with an exercise plan for the long term.

Tai Chi

Like yoga and Pilates, tai chi is a slow, relaxing form of exercise that focuses on reaching a state of mental calm while building strength and coordination through a series of structured poses. It is a non-competitive workout with a variety of different styles.

As a form of Chinese martial art, tai chi offers additional mental health benefits for relieving stress and anxiety as a type of moving meditation. It may even decrease the risk of falls in older individuals.

FCMC Community Health and Wellness Center offers a variety of classes taught by our team of experienced instructors as part of our mission “To continuously improve the health of our community.”

Instructors work with individuals one-on-one to build a practice that works for them, no matter what their current ability. We believe

Core Strength

Core Strength incorporates an ever-changing, fresh variety of exercises that focus on strengthening the body’s core muscle groups.

Benefits: Core exercises increase stability, tone muscles, and lead to less fatigue when performing other exercises.

Anyone newly diagnosed with diabetes is encouraged to come, as well as those interested in new tips and education.

General Diabetes Education

It’s possible that you or perhaps family members either have diabetes or could be at risk for the disease. Did you know that there’s a lot you can do to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes? If you are dealing with diabetes now, it’s a good idea to find diabetes education services close to home, near McConnellsburg, Pa., FCMC offers expert diabetes education in a caring atmosphere so you and your family can learn vital information that can improve your quality of life.

• Type 2 Diabetes: The Diabetes: most common form of diabetes, Type 2 develops later in life, resulting from a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle choices (e.g., a diet high in refined sugars). Type 2 diabetes impairs the body’s ability to make insulin, although it usually doesn’t destroy it completely.

• Gestational Diabetes: Pregnant Diabetes: women can also develop a form of the disease known as gestational diabetes, which typically disappears after the delivery of the child.

How to Spot the Symptoms of Diabetes Many diabetics experience no symptoms until they show up at a medical clinic with an emergency, but most will notice the effects of the disease before long. Some of the most common symptoms of diabetes include: - Extreme thirst - Frequent urination - Weight loss - Increased appetite - Extreme fatigue Understanding Diabetes - Blurry vision Diabetes is a serious, chronic medical condition that occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough - Numbness or tingling in the extremities insulin to maintain blood glucose (or blood sugar) - Frequent or persistent levels.

Diagnostic Services

Diagnostic Services in McConnellsburg, Pa.

Our friendly staff, extended hours, and comfortable waiting and testing areas will ensure that your experience is positive and productive.

Appointments Required: Please contact our Scheduling Department, 717485-2886

Computed Tomography (CT): CT uses x-rays to take pictures of sections of the body. A CT scan shows the body’s organs more clearly and in greater detail than regular x-rays.

Fulton County Medical Center offers a 64-slice CT scanner which provides improved image quality and speed compared to conventional CT scanners. In addition, updated computer software has allowed for a reduction in the total dose of radiation you receive from an exam.

CT scans help: • Find abnormalities in the body which may indicate disease • Determine how far a disease has spread • Show the effects of treatment and how your body is responding to it FCMC Diagnostic Imaging offers Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screenings for eligible candidates. Eligible candidates are between the ages of 55 and 80, have a history of heavy smoking, and smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years. Heavy smoking means you have a smoking history of 30 pack years or more. For example, a person could have a 30-pack year history by smoking 1 pack per day for 30 years or 2 packs per day for 15 years.

Lung cancer screening looks for potentially cancerous spots in the lung called pulmonary nodules. Screening is best performed with a low-dose CT scan, which can detect nodules up to 10 times smaller than those that can be seen by x-ray. This type of screening offers the best chance of finding lung cancer in its earliest, most curable stages.

Appointments Required: Please contact our Scheduling Department, 717485-2886.

Lung Cancer Screenings: Why depend on luck to discover an early lung cancer? Routine mammography and colonoscopy save many lives by discovering breast and colon cancer at an early curable state; why not screen for lung cancer?

DEXA Scan: Testing your bone density -- how strong your bones are -- is the only way to know for sure if you have osteoporosis. One common test doctors use is called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA).

DEXA scanning focuses on two main areas -- the hip and the spine. If you

Early Detection is Key

Early detection and diagnosis of a lung nodule, which may be cancerous, provides the best chance for a cure. Lung cancer has been one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, as well as in Fulton County. There is now clear evidence that screening people at high risk for lung cancer with a low-dose CT scan leads to 20% fewer deaths from this disease. At FCMC, we offer a low-dose screening CT scan to identify nodules or other findings suggestive of lung cancer which can then be managed by one of our specialists.

What is a Lung Nodule?

A pulmonary nodule is any “spot” in the lung that is less than 3 centimeters in diameter. Often these nodules cause no symptoms and therefore go undetected. The majority of nodules are found through testing performed for other reasons, such as x-rays or CT scans for pneumonia or abdominal pain.

While most pulmonary nodules are benign and can come from an infection or scar tissue from old infection, some are early signs of lung cancer and require prompt evaluation.

monary nodules by a team of skilled specialists, including primary-care physicians, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, interventional radiologists and a nurse practitioner.

This team works together to: • Thoroughly evaluate each nodule • Develop a comprehensive individualized plan of care utilizing the most advanced technologies • Significantly reduce the time from detection to treatment.

The FCMC Lung Cancer Screening Program recommends screening for the following individuals: • 55-79 who have smoked the equivalent of one pack daily for 30 years • 50-79 who have smoked the equivalent of one pack daily for 20 years and have one additional risk factor Additional risk factors are: Radon exposure, asbestos exposure, cancer history, strong family history of lung cancer, significant second-hand smoke exposure, COPD, Pulmonary Fibrosis. Lung cancer screenings are not for patients with active cough, hemoptysis, and shortness of breath. (These patients will require a regular CT scan of the chest.)

Screenings are $99 and are NOT covered by insurance.

Lung cancer screenings at FCMC require a physician order and a scheduled appointment.

To schedule an appointment, please contact us: 717-785-6107

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI is a non-invasive test that uses magnetic waves to take two- and three-dimensional pictures of the inside of the body.

Digital mammography produces high-quality images of the breast that can show cancer that may be too small for you or your doctor to feel.

Digital mammograms also allow for more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer and easier access to your imaging results by your referring physician.

General x-ray: An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses x-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of the body. Imaging of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and bladder, and joints (arthroscopy) are offered at FCMC. Walk-ins are welcome for general x-ray services. No appointment is necessary. All other procedures require an appointment.

Mammography: A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast tissue. Doctors use mammograms to determine changes in breast tissue or detect early stages of breast cancer.

FCMC Women’s Imaging Department offers state-of-the-art digital mammography and 3D mammography (tomosynthesis). Both screening and diagnostic mammogram imaging are offered by appointment. We also have a breast health navigator to help guide patients through scheduling and treatment.

Spa Days: Available one Saturday a month. Come out and enjoy a complimentary massage and manicure after having your screening mammogram. Please contact our scheduling department or breast health navigator for availability.

3D mammography, also referred to as tomosynthesis, is an imaging procedure that uses low-energy x-rays to create a 3D image of the breasts. 3D mammography takes additional images from varying angles to produce a three-dimensional image of the breast. This allows the radiologist to view the tissue in smaller sections and in greater detail. Benefits of tomosynthesis include improved imaging for patients with dense breast tissue. Appointments are required. Please contact our scheduling department, 717-485-2886. Breast health navigator: Kriste Shoop, 717-485-7309. ■

feel. Digital mammograms also allow for more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer and easier access to your imaging results by your referring physician.

3D Mammography, also referred to as Tomosynthesis, is an imaging procedure that uses FCMC Womes’s Imaging low-energy x-rays to create a 3D image of the breasts. 3D mammography takes additional images from varying angles to produce a 3-dimensional image of the breast.

This allows the radiologist to view the tissue in smaller sections and in greater detail. Benefits of tomosynthesis include improved imaging for patients with dense breast tissue.

IV Infusion

Medical center offers several types of IV infusions At Fulton County Medical Center, IV therapies are used after a comprehensive evaluation performed by a highly trained physician to determine the need or type of therapy to be administered. Our staff undergo extensive training and are overseen by physicians throughout your personalized care plan, from blood testing to injectable medication. Contact us today at 717-4857304 to schedule an appointment at our McConnellsburg campus.

Treatment

IV infusions are a reliable way of transferring important nutrients and medications into our patients quickly and easily, alleviating pain and other symptoms faster than oral or topical treatments. Fulton County Medical Center offers several types of IV treatments to accommodate the unique needs of each patient.

Hydration therapy Hydration therapy can quickly re-introduce vital fluids with nutrients, including electrolytes, minerals or amino acids for dehydrated patients or those who can’t digest food and water independently.

Injectable medications FCMC offers injectable medications of many different types for patients.

Blood transfusions When patients have lost large amounts of blood, an IV is used to replace the lost blood with a donated substitute.

Infusion therapy Infusion therapies administered through IV can carry medications, as well as natural supplements. Our clinic can provide the following: • Antibiotics • Iron products • Magnesium • Arthritis medications • IVIG

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) A peripherally inserted central catheter is a thin, soft, flexible tube for IV administration inserted into a vein on the upper arm. Once inserted and secured, it’s possible to move and use your arm normally until treatment is complete.

Insertion of midline catheters A midline catheter is used for veins larger than those used in a normal IV therapy treatment. Midlines are used for short treatment plans where patients are getting IV medications for 1-4 weeks.

Phlebotomy from central lines Blood tests are a common method of diagnosing health issues in any part of the body. When patients need blood tests for medical diagnoses, Fulton County Medical Center can draw enough blood via a central IV line to send away for lab testing.

Maintenance of vascular access devices Vascular access devices (VADs) are typically the ports or catheters used to allow frequent access to the veins for patients who get regular IV therapy or medication. Our staff can help patients keep these areas clean and clear for safe and continued use throughout their treatment. ■

The History

Dr. MacKinlay saw Fulton County’s need for a hospital to be built in the 1950s, and a similar need arose to take care of the aged population

in the early 1970s. Just before Christmas in 1976, FCMC opened its extended care wing of the hospital. Nineteen residents made FCMC their home permanently. Nine of the 19 residents came from the former Decker Nursing Home.

One year later, FCMC opened the intermediate care unit. FCMC could now offer three levels of care: acute care, intermediate care and skilled care. This would eventually make up the 57 beds that FCMC maintained until 2007 when they moved to their new facility and added an additional 10 beds for individuals needing longterm care.

Today, FCMC Long Term Care is very much a vital part of the organization. Health care has dramatically changed since 1970 when the LTC unit was built; however, the quality of care, coupled with the family-like atmosphere, has remained unchanged. In 2014, the FCMC nursing home received a four-star rating from Medicare. gov and again in 2020.

“They had some really good

exercises for me to do both here and at home.”

tive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, or OSA. Sleep apnea is a condition where a patient will stop breathing repeatedly during periods of sleep, resulting in fragmented unrefreshing sleep. Sleep apnea is usually associated with loud snoring or snorting. Jerking of arms and legs may be noticed by a bed partner and the patient may awaken short of breath or with heart pounding. Patients with sleep apnea are often unaware of their problem and have frequent arousals/awakenings caused by the pauses in breathing.

Untreated sleep apnea usually results in excessive daytime sleepiness and may contribute to high blood pressure, cardiac problems, depression and sexual dysfunction.

In addition to obstructive sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing may also be related to central or mixed apneas upper respiratory resistance syndrome or asthma-related sleep breathing problems.

Wound Care Services

Our wound center at Fulton County Medical Center (FCMC) offers a variety of specialized services to meet our patients’ wound care needs. We work closely with Team Home Health and can provide nutritional interventions to treat the whole individual.

For more serious wounds, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment approved by the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine Society and involves breathing 100% oxygen while enclosed in a Hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The relaxing treatment can be completed while patients listen to music or watch movies and can be effective for a range of medical conditions and wounds.

Chronic refractory osteomyelitis Chronic refractory osteomyelitis is an inflammation of bone tissue caused by an infection in the bloodstream or near the affected bone(s).

Diabetic ulcers About 15 percent of diabetic patients develop ulcers, an open sore or wound on the feet that can become seriously infected without treatment.

Enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can speed up the healing time in problem wounds that might not heal on their own and would take a significant amount of time.

Carbon monoxide poisoning Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the oxygen in your red blood cells is replaced by carbon monoxide in environments where there is not enough natural oxygen to breathe.

Acute traumatic ischemia Acute traumatic ischemia is a technical term for traumatic injuries like a crush injury, compartment syndrome and others.

30

2020 FULTON COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER DIRECTORY

Crush injuries Crush injuries can happen at home, at work, in car accidents, and any time part of your body is crushed between objects or moving parts.

Arterial wounds When soft tissue in the body doesn’t receive adequate blood flow, arteries are at risk for developing ulcers or becoming damaged. These injuries are very slow to heal without additional support from treatments like HBOT. Delayed radiation injury Even when radiation is effective at eliminating cancer cells, the side effects can create complications and injuries of their own to treat separately.

Soft tissue radionecrosis Radiation that causes soft tissue death from damaged blood vessels is called soft tissue radionecrosis (STRN).

Bony necrosis (osteoradionecrosis) Radiation that causes bone death from damaged blood vessels is called bony necrosis.

Compromised skin grafts and flaps Patients who receive skin grafts or flaps may experience complications or infections after the procedure that need to be treated as wounds.

Central retinal artery occlusion intracranial abscess HBOT is one of the only effective treatment options for patients with sudden and dramatic vision loss due to a lack of oxygenated blood to the retinas.

Our wound care staff will be happy to answer any questions you have by calling 717-485-2855.

FCMC’s qualified staff are here to help you during your healing process.
