PCMC Participation in Tzu Chi Community Health Forum on April 17, 2011

The theme of Tzu Chi's Community Health Forum is Total Health - Body, Mind and Environment. PCMC's contribution is on our effort to prevent and reverse diabetes and other chronic diseases through lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Shown here are pictures of Dr. Yi-po Anthony Wu introducing Diabetes Mellitus, Teresa Chen discussing traditional Chinese dietary remedies for diabetic symptoms, and Dorel Rotar talking about the benefits of yoga and breathing exercise.

Winter Thoughts

Stan Wright, a poet and a patient, gifted us with a collection of his poems. We are blessed to be in the company of this positive thinker.

We have chosen three of Stan's poems to share with you his cheerful spirit to ward away winter blues.

Our best wishes for the Holiday Season.

Cooking in China's Pearl River Delta (Armchair Traveler)

San Joaquin Delta College is offering another full program for Armchair Travelers this fall. Starting September 15th there will be presentations on 12 consecutive Tuesdays from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM in the North Forum. PCMC's Health Educator Teresa Chen's talk on October 27th will be focused on the Healthy Gourmet Tour to China's Pearl River Delta which she co-hosted with Chef Martin Yan in March, 2009. Though the presentation includes some of the history, geography and culture of the region, its main feature is food, the Cantonese cuisine. Teresa will take you to the culinary hot spots, meet China's top chefs, and show you pictures of delicacies that will surely make your mouth water.

After the talk, some refreshments will be served. Teresa will also be signing her book, A Tradition of Soup - Flavors from China's Pearl River Delta. If you haven't already purchased one, this is your chance to get an autographed copy.

Please join us!
