Pur 8 - PLAIINDEALKK HKR ALD. FRIDAY . FKBRLAH\ 22.198S Three seats open on Health Systems board Three vacancies on the board of the Health Systems Agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties (HSA-KLM), which have been open for more than one year, are to be filled through 'ltments by the McHenry Board. The HSA-KLM administers no funding, with the exception of some money for its own staff, but it does review and recom­ mend on hospital and health care expansions and new facilities in the three-courity area. Last year the HSA-KLM board reviewed projects for health care facility im­ provements amounting to more than $75 million and, already in 1986, have about $64 million worth of new projects for review. The basic function of the board is to hold the lid on expanding costs of medical care. In addition to containing these costs, the board also strives for quality and accessibility of health care in the three counties, according to Ronald Morris, chairman of the county board health and agriculture com­ mittee. The HSA-KLM board nor­ mally meets the fourth Thur­ sday evening of each month. Morris said consumers are needed for at least two of the vacant board positions and that all three positions can be filled by consumers. Any person interested in applying for appointment to the HSA board should contact the McHenry County Board office to obtain an application. Ap­ plicants must submit the completed application to Morris compj by Mj arch 1. Pre-natal exercise class offered at Easter Seals The preparation time before the birth of a child should be a healthy, happy time for the mother-to-be. The Easter Seal Society for McHenry County believes exercise plays an important role in physical and mental preparation for the event. A pre-natal therapeutic exercise program is offered by the Easter Seals each Wed­ nesday at 7 p.m. to help mothers-to-be enjoy the positive benefits of proper exercise. The exercise program, con­ ducted by physical therapist Karen Beale, is designed to build muscle strength, flexibility, endurance, positive posture, and improve breathing and relaxation techniques. Each participant undergoes a simple, comprehensive evaluation prior to beginning the exercise program. From that information, a program is tailor- made to meet the individual needs of each participant. Brief discussions giving rationale to each exercise activity and how it relates to the pregnancy, labor and delivery are held throughout each step of the program. Questions from participants are encouraged. Participation in the program requires a written prescription from a physician. To register for the pre-natal exercise program, call the Easter Seals at 338-1707.
