www.Ups tatePhys i c i ansSC . com | www.Hea l thL i nksUps tate. com | 7 ABOUT THE COVER... This issue of HealthLinks is one of our favorite issues to create. It rolls out during the time of year when you, our readers, are reflecting about 2022, making resolutions to ensure a better 2023 and seeking nuggets of hope that the world is still filled with good people. Reporter Amy Gesell’s story about therapy dogs* and Linda Esterson’s piece about BirthMatters and the Newborn Center of Charleston are a few of the many page turners about blessings to count. Clark Leach writes about the neurological reasons people procrastinate and ways to curb that bad habit. And last but far from least, our Women In Health section celebrates the intelligence, the compassion and the accomplishments of a distinct group of women who are leading the way to better health. The world is indeed still filled with good people and blessings to count. To simple pleasures and good health, Lisa Breslin, Managing Editor *HealthLinks has just learned that Vivi, one of the facility dogs that helped children and families heal and feel better, died. She had been diagnosed in September with lymphoma. Thank you, Vivi. You will not be forgotten. Please consider texting Lovevivi to 41444 to contribute to the Prisma Health Canine F.E.T.C.H. unit in her memory.
