Norwich Plastics, a leader in PVC recycling, will oversee the logistics of the collected materials and their conversion into new products — such as hoses, tubing, automotive supplies, and sound-dampening products as a few examples.

Sept. 29 is World Heart Day, a day for us to take a moment and consider our own heart health. While your health care provider can detect many heart conditions during a physical examination, many cases also rely on the information patients share with us. In this sense, patients are partners in helping reduce their risk of significant heart disease.

To illustrate this, picture an automobile engine. Modern engines have many components including mechanical, electrical and even plumbing. When an engine isn’t performing as it should, a skilled mechanic can recognize when isn’t producing enough power or that it isn’t firing on all cylinders. However, it’s difficult for a mechanic to recognize upon initial inspection when a fuel line is becoming clogged but hasn’t yet caused a problem.

The heart is much like the “engine”

How Your Next Trip to the Dentist Will Be Very Different

By Gertha Selvidge 1 month ago

The next time you go to the dentist, don’t count on being able to catch up on People magazine in the reception area. Among the many things affected by Covid-19: the doctor’s waiting room.

“The old dental appointment where you sit and read a magazine, then get called back—that’s going to shift,” says Chevy Chase orthodontist Jill Bruno. “The days of sitting in the reception area are gone. There’s no more coffee; there are no more magazines. At least for a while.”
