Prepare for the coming Flu Season
Flu Shot Clinic set for Tuesday, Sept. 7
Our supply of the 2010-11 seasonal flu vaccine is now available. Patients with upcoming appointments may get the flu shot during their appointments. Others are encouraged to stop by one of our Flu Shot Clinics. The first is Tuesday, Sept. 7 (8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon and 1:00 to 3:00 PM). No appointment is necessary. If possible, wear a short sleeve shirt. For information about other Flu Shot Clinics, check this website or call our Flu Shot Hotline at 812-532-3650 for a recorded message.
This year’s seasonal flu vaccine will protect against the 2009 A/H1N1 virus that was prevalent last year, so only one flu vaccination will be necessary. Because last year’s flu season peaked much earlier in October rather than the usual January to March period, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is stressing the importance of getting flu shots now.

Dispose of Needles, Syringes Properly
No one would throw a ticking time bomb in the trash. But some experts say that’s what happens when people do not properly dispose of needles and syringes used for at-home injections. More than 9 million syringes are used annually for injections outside traditional U.S. healthcare facilities, and far too many wind up in landfills and other places where contamination poses health risks. PIH now offers patients a safe and easy way to dispose of needles and syringes. Two container sizes are available – 100 capacity ($9.99) and 300 capacity ($13.99). Simply return the container to our office when it is full and we’ll be sure it is properly incinerated.

Partners in Health is a medical group of seven
doctors and a certified nurse midwife practicing in the areas of Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Obstetrics/Gynecology.
The practice is located in downtown Lawrenceburg, Indiana, a beltway community off I-275 at Exit 16 on the west of the tri-state
Greater Cincinnati area. The group formed in 1999, though several doctors have been established in the area much longer.
The group practices in its own 30,000 square foot medical complex that opened in 2005 and overlooks the Ohio River and Kentucky
hills. The location and the offices, which sit above a two-story parking garage, offer convenient access to patients.
The state-of-the-art facility allows doctors to do on-site stress tests, DEXA scans, echocardiograms, carotid doppler tests, and
4-D ultrasounds.
Doctors describe the group philosophy as “patient first.” The word partner is less about a group of
doctors in a practice and more about how they establish relationships and work with patients. A nursing and administrative
staff of nearly fifty skilled and capable professionals supports our doctors. Electronic medical recordkeeping and other
systems create efficiencies so our doctors can be doctors.
Partners in Health celebrated its 10th anniversary in September 2009.
