Busy Royal Oak Doctor Introduces Weight Loss and Health Screening Programs

New video showing Dr. Paul's typical day airing on local cable stations

So, you think doctors have the proverbial bankers' hours?  Not this one.  Members of the community benefit from his incredible schedule, as this doctor rolls out two new programs to monitor and improve your health.

Dr. Paul Ehrmann, founder of Royal Oak's Family Health Care Center, typically arrives at his office long before sunrise and usually doesn't leave until after sunset.  For more than 20 years, he and his staff have been dedicated to the health concerns of the community, and has in some cases cared for four generations of various families.

He is the volunteer team physician to both Royal Oak high schools, offers his caring medical assistance to senior communities, started the Community Wellness Initiative, and offers an array of prevention services geared specifically to men, women and children, including smoking cessation clinics.

You can glimpse his typical day by watching "A Day in the Life" on Community Media Networks cable stations [Comcast, most areas on channel 52 and WOW, most areas on channel 18] at 7:30 pm on Wednesdays and at 7:30 am on Thurdays throughout August, starting this week on Wednesday.

Dr. Paul, as he is most frequently called, also has recently introduced two more new programs. The Family Health Center Weight Management and Exercise Program starts August 25, 2003.  Many major studies have shown weight loss to be the number one health care topic on the minds of most Americans.  His program, aimed at people who are 20 to 80 pounds overweight, and who are committed to making the necessary life style change, will be guided by the team of Dr. Paul, a dietician, and a health psychologist.

On September 20, Dr. Paul is partnering with Life Line Screening to conduct LifeScreen, a testing procedure for people over 40, which uncovers issues that can lead to a stroke, a ruptured aortic artery, arterial disease in the lower extremities, or osteoporosis.

Interested parties can call the Family Health Care Center at (248) 543-2000 for registration or further information.
