Las Vegas HEALS News

Wednesday, September 29, is World Heart Day and in honor of the hardest working muscle in the human body, Health Plan of Nevada wants to provide Nevadans with tips to keep their hearts healthy and strong.

• Laugh Often – Laughing is good for the heart! It reduces stress and has been shown to boost the immune system, so laugh hard and often.
• Exercise Regularly – Exercising regularly is an important part of leading a healthier and happier life. The amount of recommended exercise varies for each person depending on their age/current health, but no matter the form of physical activity you take part in, the health benefits for your heart are immense.
• Eat Healthier – Limit saturated fats, trans fats, sodium, sweets, and sugary beverages. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, and nuts. These foods can help control your weight and cholesterol.
• Manage Your Stress – The most common types of stress that can impact the heart include workplace stress, financial stress, caregiver stress, and disaster-related stress. Sleep, exercise, and meditative breathing can all help ease stress.
• Limit Alcohol – Excessive drinking may lead to increased heart health risks. The American Heart Association recommends drinking in moderation, this means no more than one to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
• Get Annual Wellness Checks – A yearly wellness exam is an easy way to stay on top of your heart health as proper preventative screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes can be conducted during these exams.
• Prioritize Sleep – Poor sleep can be linked to an increased risk for high blood pressure, which may cause heart disease. The American Heart Association found most people need six to eight hours of sleep each night.

Western Governors University (WGU) and WGU Advancement—the university’s fundraising arm—announced today that the university will carry out five projects aimed at closing existing equity gaps in postsecondary education. The R&D for Growth & Equity grant provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is designed to help close the access and attainment gap for Black, Latinx and Indigenous learners across the country.

The grant allows WGU to better understand the unique journeys that Black, Latinx, and Indigenous learners experience through their interactions with faculty, curriculum, technology, processes, and systems while enrolled at WGU. The initiatives will also produce equity-centered research and development designed to benefit the field at a national scale.

“We’re grateful to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for their support of WGU’s commitment to identifying and dismantling equity barriers in higher education,” said Annalisa Holcombe, President of WGU Advancement. “Their belief in our work not only allows WGU to overcome our own internal gaps, but also to share our learnings with other institutions so the entire post-secondary system can become more equitable.”

WGU has outlined five distinct focus projects as part of the initiative:

1. Identifying moments of impact during the student journey
2. Understanding learner profiles for greater graduate success
3. Increasing awareness of varying student engagement levels
4. Identifying impact of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund on students
5. Researching friction areas throughout student lifecycle

“We know a student’s chances of success are greatly increased when there’s a comprehensive suite of support services in place,” said Marni Baker Stein, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at WGU. “From the day they enroll until the day they graduate, WGU students benefit from our personalized, one-on-one approach to support services. Thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s generous grant, we can strengthen and enhance these programs to ensure students have the tools they need to be successful now and after graduation.”

About WGU Advancement 
WGU Advancement is a nonprofit fundraising foundation created by Western Governors University to expand access to and accelerate innovation in education. A 501(c)(3) organization, Advancement’s focus is on complementing and enhancing the WGU vision to reinvigorate the promise of higher education. In addition to scholarships and other initiatives aimed at increasing access, Advancement raises funds to support development of innovative programs, research, and technologies that will improve educational quality and student outcomes.

New Intermountain Study Finds COVID Treatment Highly Effective in Preventing Hospitalizations, Severe Illness, and Death in Patients with Virus

In a new study, researchers from Intermountain Healthcare have found that treating high-risk COVID-19 patients with a monoclonal antibody treatment reduced severe illness and hospitalizations by more than 50 percent and saved many patients from dying due to complications from the virus. The key to effectively reducing severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths, is that the treatment must be administered within seven days of symptom onset of COVID.

Given the documented success of the treatment, and in light of the major COVID Delta variant surge in the United States, researchers say more resources are needed to fund and expand treatment for high-risk patients.

“In a real-world application, we found that these monoclonal antibodies are as effective as clinical trial results suggested,” said the study’s lead author, Brandon Webb, MD, infectious diseases physician at Intermountain Healthcare. “Based on our findings, we recommend putting resources towards monoclonal treatment programs because they help patients avoid poor outcomes, and because they are a powerful tool to prevent overflowing hospitals.”

Monoclonal antibodies are a drug treatment created to mimic the body’s natural immune response to COVID-19, designed to stick to the virus’ “spike” protein and neutralize it.

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 remains the most effective way to prevent severe disease and death. However, for patients who do contract COVID-19, especially those at high risk for complications, monoclonal antibodies are a vital tool, researchers say.

One dollar for a pound of fresh fruit or a bundle of veggies? That’s about how much people will pay at the Veggie Buck Truck at the pop-up produce market at the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC). This pilot program is being offered by the Southern Nevada Health District’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in partnership with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), Three Square Food Bank and Vegas Root’s Veggie Buck Truck to increase access to low-cost fresh fruits and vegetables.

The program is designed to increase access in an area that is adjacent to a neighborhood considered a “food desert” as well as the 8,000 customers who use the BTC daily. The Veggie Buck Truck will be at the pop-up produce market at the BTC on Wednesday, September 15, 22, and 29 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The BTC is located at 101 E. Bonneville Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101. Additional services offered on-site include Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enrollment and nutrition information. For more information, call the Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at (702) 759-1270 or visit the Get Healthy Clark County Farmers Markets page.

The markets are open to everyone. Customers can use their SNAP benefits at the pop-up markets. People who use SNAP will be eligible for “Double Up Food Bucks” and earn a coupon they can apply to future produce purchases at participating locations. Customers can use cash, debit, or credit cards.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) describes a food desert as a location where a large proportion of households do not have access to grocery stores that provide affordable and healthy foods including fresh produce. According to the USDA’s criteria, more than 120,000 Southern Nevadans live in food deserts, areas without convenient access to a grocery store. The typical household living in a food desert in Southern Nevada earns less than $40,000 annually, and approximately 17 percent do not have a vehicle.

In Nevada, September is recognized as Fruit and Veggie Month as a reminder about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and ensuring access to healthy choices to all members of the community. A healthy diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables can help people maintain a healthy weight and help prevent or manage chronic diseases.

Beginning Tuesday, September 14, the Southern Nevada Health District will offer flu vaccine at its public health centers. Walk-in clients are accepted at the Health District’s 280 S. Decatur Blvd. immunization clinic, but appointments are required at its other public health centers. To make an appointment, call (702) 759-0850. Flu vaccines can be administered at the same time as COVID-19 vaccines or other immunizations.

While 2020-21 flu season was mild – the Health District reported six flu deaths and 50 hospitalizations – likely due to COVID-19 mitigation measures such as mask wearing, increased participation in remote work and school, and social distancing, it is possible the 2021-22 influenza season could be more active since many of these activities have been eased as businesses and schools are reopened.

The most effective way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated every flu season. It is best to get vaccinated before flu viruses begin spreading in the community because it takes approximately two weeks after vaccination for the antibodies to develop and provide protection against the flu. However, people can be vaccinated anytime during flu season.

In the 2019-20 flu season, Clark County recorded 54 deaths and 1,398 hospitalizations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that flu vaccine prevented an estimated 7.5 million illnesses and 6,300 deaths during the 2019-2020 flu season. For more information about the burden of influenza, visit the CDC’s https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden-averted/2019-2020.htm

“We are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and another flu season is nearly here. We are encouraging people to get vaccinated to prevent themselves from getting infected and staying healthy,” said Dr. Fermin Leguen, District Health Officer for the Southern Nevada Health District. “Getting a flu vaccine can ensure that our medical resources are not overwhelmed as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Health District is offering flu shots at its clinics.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. It is especially important for those at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu. Many of the people at higher risk of complications from the flu are also at higher risk of complications from COVID-19. This includes people 65 years of age and older, people with underlying medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, compromised immune systems, and Blacks and Hispanics who are already disproportionately impacted by chronic diseases. It is also important to protect people more likely to be exposed to both COVID-19 and flu, including health care workers and essential workers who interact frequently with the public. A complete list of people at higher risk is available on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/index.htm.

Vaccine Update

As of September 10, more than 73.4 percent of people 18 years of age and older in Clark County have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 68.4 percent of people eligible (people ages 12 and over) have also received at least one dose of the vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at protecting people against severe illness, hospitalization and death, including disease caused by Delta and other variants circulating in Clark County.

No vaccine is 100 percent effective, and breakthrough infections among vaccinated people are expected.

Because vaccines are not 100 percent effective, as the number of people who are fully vaccinated goes up, the number of breakthrough cases will also increase.
