This week: Dermatologic concerns, wellness advice

Work-life balance matters, especially as more people find themselves working from home.

Dr. Kaushal Nanavati is the assistant dean of wellness at Upstate, an assistant professor of family medicine and medical director of integrative therapy. He provides suggestions for establishing boundaries between work and household responsibilities in this week’s episode of “HealthLink on Air.”

Nanavati also addresses social isolation and what employers can do to help employees who had to begin working at home because of the pandemic.

Also this week, dermatologist Ramsay Farah, chief of the department at Upstate, discusses skin problems stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. And Telisa Stewart and Alyssa Indelicato from the department of public health and preventive medicine share resources they created for college campuses during the pandemic. Listen this Sunday, August 23 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for "HealthLink on Air."
