🍂 Welcome to November 🍁
As the leaves fall and the air turns brisk, November is a time of transition, both in the weather and in our routines.

At Apalachin Family Care, we’re here to help you stay well as the season shifts.

😷 Colds, coughs, and early flu cases making their way through schools and workplaces

🎄 And with the holidays just around the corner, now is a great time to:
✅ Schedule a pre-holiday check-up
✅ Get your flu shot or COVID booster
✅ Check on medication refills before winter weather hits
✅ Talk with us about managing seasonal stress and mood changes
