Tommy Toothbrush visits kids
Dr. Gregory Stepanski of Children’s Dentistry arranged for “Tommy Toothbrush” to visit schools the week of Feb. 1 to Feb. 8.
“Tommy Toothbrush” is a big, blue toothbrush that teaches local elementary schools, preschools and day cares on the importance of brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist regularly, in a 20- to 30- minute presentation. The program is for pre-kindergarten through first-grade students, and includes interactive songs and props.
Children’s Dentistry is located in New Tampa, but also serves Wesley Chapel, Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Zephyrhills and Temple Terrace.
Woman’s club learns about heart health
The GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club hosted Mary Webb, club member, retired cardiac nursing supervisor, and professor at USF School of Nursing, for a seminar on “Women’s Cardiac Health.”
Webb spoke about the need to reduce stress and hypertension, and the importance of proper diet and exercise. She also highlighted the different symptoms presented in women vs. men during a cardiac episode.
Each year, the woman’s club highlights women’s heart health in a variety of ways to bring awareness to the issue.
