In this week’s edition: This week, we’re welcoming fall, sharing a few office updates, offering a simple nutrition tip, introducing Vitality Physical Therapy, and reminding you about our September referral offer.
Welcoming a New Season
Happy fall! As we welcome the first days of the season, we hope you’re able to slow down and enjoy some of the simple things that make fall special.
This time of year brings change, transition, holidays, and traditions – along with crisp days, cool nights, pumpkins, corn mazes, and plenty of family-friendly events throughout Lancaster County. We hope you can make time to enjoy the season and all it has to offer!
What’s New at Luz
A quick reminder that Luz Medicine offers more than routine office visits. We can also help coordinate services such as bloodwork, iron infusions, and sick visits at both our Ephrata and Manheim Township locations.
If you’re unsure whether we can help with something you or a family member needs, please reach out and ask. We’re happy to help whenever we can.
Rethink “Low-Fat” Foods
“Low-fat” or “diet” doesn’t always mean healthier. Some foods, especially dairy products, may have added sugars or other sweeteners to make up for the flavor lost when fat is removed.
When choosing packaged foods, take a moment to check the ingredient list rather than relying only on the label on the front. If a product is marketed as low-fat or diet, look for added sweeteners or sugars and compare it with the regular version. Sometimes, choosing the less processed option can be the better fit.
Community Spotlight: Vitality Physical Therapy
This week, we’re highlighting Vitality Physical Therapy, a new Lancaster practice owned by Nic Shuscavage, PT, DPT.
Nic specializes in orthopedic rehabilitation and works with patients of all ages – from young athletes to adults recovering from injuries or surgery, as well as older adults who want to stay active and independent. His approach focuses on one-on-one, patient-centered care, and individualized plans based on each person’s goals.
Vitality accepts Medicare and most commercial insurance plans, with self-pay options available. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
