Hospital Sponsors Wellness Program
By SHERRI CARVER
In keeping with its growing in-
terest in providing community in-
formation services, the Baytown
Medical Center will provide the
first In a series of free wellness
programs Sept. 7.,
“Assertive Methods," will be
presented from noon to 1 p.m.
Sept. 7 at Sterling Municipal
v Library.
The program will be presented
by Medical Center
psychotherapist Brian Kearns.
Kearns, a two-year member of
the staff, received his master’s
degree in counseling psychology
from Texas A&M University and
worked as a staff psychologist for
the Brazos Valley Mental Health
and Mental Retardation Center in
Bryan. His duties at the Medical
Center include providing group
therapy for adults and adolescent
patients in the psychiatric unit, as
well as marriage and family
counseling.
The series, which will include
sessions on communication,
stress and dealing with
adolescents, was sparked by
America’s new concern with the
concept of wellness and preven-
tative medicine, and the Medical
Center’s desire to become more
involved in community health, ac-
cording to Judy Nicholson, direc-
tor of community and industrial
relations.
“We’re responding to a real
need in the community for in-
formation on preventative care,"
she says. “We’ve been working to
move out into the community and
become more responsive to the
needs of the people who live
here.”
Wellness in its most total sense
implies the integration of good
life and health habits into every
aspect of life, says Bill Hyslop,
executive director of the Medical
Center.
“Total wellness incorporates a
desire for fitness, the practice of
good nutrition and the achieve-
ment of good mental health,” he
says. “It’s an idea that has been
growing in community and in-
stitutional circles for some time

says. “Preventative wellness can Nickolson and the staff hope to
have a great deal of effect on the uncover the less obvious pro-
cost of health care by lessening blems that cause difficult pro-
the need for more expensive inpa- blems for residents of the
tient services.”
The presentations are part of an
expanding pilot program being
developed by the Medical Center.
“We’re already working with

we’re hoping to learn about pro-

and a partnership between both
groups.”
The programs cost almost
nothing to present, says Hyslop,
because the Medical Center is
utilizing the talents of its present
staff.
“We’ve had good response from
the professional community,” he
says. “We have so much talent
right here, and our staff has been with the working person in mind,
