The Best Of Life Is Yet To Be

       This past week our Lewis & Daggett team hosted Coach Bob Anastas as part of our Safe Sober Prom Night program. It was a privilege for us to travel with Coach Anastas across the Triad to make 12 presentations to high school students.

       Coach Anastas is quite a passionate personality. He is a professional motivational speaker and national founder of S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk). In addition, as a hockey player and football player, he was an All-American athlete in two sports in college. He was drafted as a quarterback and a punter by the New England Patriots.

Kidney Injury Following Colonoscopy

      The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has become aware of problems associated with Oral Sodium Phosphate products (OSP). The products, which are used for bowel cleansing before certain medical exams such as colonoscopy, have been linked to a serious form of kidney failure.

      The use of prescribed OSP drugs Visicol and OsmoPrep has been found to increase the risk of acute phosphate nephropathy.

A Little Stress Relief

      We all need a little stress relief at times. This spring has been very active around our office with the Safe Sober Prom Night program, a new office in Statesville, serving clients, and keeping up with our daily activities.

      This Thursday, April 16, is National Stress Awareness Day. According to the American Psychological Association the rate of stress in our lives is on the increase. Stress has adverse health consequences including stress-related diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and depression.

Proud Of Our Team

      It is an exciting and busy time of year for our Lewis & Daggett team! Prom season is now here, and we are in full swing with our Safe Sober Prom Night program and events.

Over the next seven weeks we will personally visit 39 high schools in central North Carolina and personally deliver more than 15,000 L & D donated t-shirts to high school juniors and seniors who pledge to stay safe and sober.
