Eisenhower's Upcoming Lectures and Special Programs
It’s difficult to be bored this time of year, isn’t it? Between the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Humana Challenge, the BNP Paribas Tennis Open and the numerous art festivals, there is something for everyone. That is also true at Eisenhower Medical Center! In this issue of Health Notes, we are highlighting several upcoming special events being held on the hospital campus in Rancho Mirage (see the shaded pink box below). Be sure to also check out the calendar for lectures on various topics held throughout the valley.

Everyday Fitness Regimen
Before we had gyms, Zumba®, spin classes and pedestrian boot camp, we had chores — unadorned, everyday basic chores. We trimmed trees and pushed lawnmowers, scrubbed tubs and floors, worked on our cars and painted our homes, and more often than not, walked where we needed to go.
Most likely, our waists were smaller back then, our biceps larger and our lungs more expansive. We moved with a sense of purpose and pride, and our bodies got what they deserved — fit. We worked and moved and balanced and stretched and felt confident knowing that our bodies could perform the tasks we needed them to do. click for more
