Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – On Tuesday, August 9, enjoy an invigorating power walk at The Gardens Mall with Judy Dellosa, RN, BSN, Orthopedic & Spine Patient Navigator at Jupiter Medical Center.

“When I feel pain in my knees, I have been told by experts that exercise will actually make them feel better,” says Michele Jacobs, Director of Marketing for The Gardens Mall. “It’s important to know what options are available so you can customize a healthy exercise regimen to fit your needs and overall lifestyle.”

The Orthopedic & Spine Patient Navigator will:

  • Provide education on what to expect before, during, and after surgery
  • Locate area resources and act as an advocate
  • Listen and provide coaching on health-related issues
  • Conduct health risk assessments and assist in developing goals to improve health and wellness
  • Provide follow-up and support after screening exams

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Nordstrom Court. Breakfast will be served. The Orthopedic & Spine Patient Navigator’s discussion starts at 9 a.m., followed by mall walking.
