Dr. Tim Remillard also serves the said community as a coroner and as a hospitalist for patients who are children without parents. 

First published in 1996, the term hospitalist is relatively new, and so its definition and role have evolved. In January 2016, The Society of Hospital Medicine defined the hospitalist as a practitioner who is involved in clinical care, research, teaching, and/or leadership in the area of hospital medicine. Those who practice hospital medicine include physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. 

A medical specialty, hospital medicine focuses on providing thorough medical care to patients that have been hospitalized. The core expertise of hospitalists is in the management of clinical problems of patients that are hospitalized and severely ill. They also strive to improve the operations of health care networks and hospitals such as through immediate and comprehensive ministration of all patient care requirements including diagnosis and treatment.]]> 2017-06-18 19:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/DrTimRemillard/About/wish/176777233 DrTimRemillard https://padlet.com/DrTimRemillard/About/wish/177746555
Since early 1998, Dr. Tim Remillard has provided medical care to patients of all ages in the underserved community of Thornbury, Ontario. Dr. Tim Remillard serves a patient base that includes many senior citizens, to whom he brings an in-depth knowledge of high blood pressure and its prevention.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common yet dangerous condition. It raises a patient's risk of such serious health issues as stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease, yet it often presents no symptoms of its own. 

Many patients are at risk of hypertension through no fault of their own. Age, ethnicity, and family history can make a person more susceptible to the condition, though even those with multiple risk factors can help themselves by implementing certain lifestyle changes. The first is management of stress, as this can significantly increase blood pressure in the long term.

Excess weight, meanwhile, can increase a person's risk of hypertension by up to 600 percent. Fortunately, a loss of as little as 10 pounds can begin to offset this risk. Regular exercise can support this effort while further reducing a patient's risk of high blood pressure, as active individuals tend to have blood pressure that is 20 percent to 50 percent lower than their more sedentary counterparts.

A healthful diet, rich in produce and low in excess fat and calories, can have a similarly beneficial effect. A reduced salt intake is particularly important, while foods that are rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium can offer further protection.]]> 2017-06-29 14:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/DrTimRemillard/About/wish/177746555
