February is American Heart Month, a time to focus on cardiovascular health and the small, consistent habits that protect it.
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States—but many risk factors are manageable with awareness and proactive care.
Here are a few simple ways to support your heart:
❤️ Move your body most days of the week
❤️ Choose heart-healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains)
❤️ Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol
❤️ Manage stress in healthy ways
❤️ Prioritize sleep
Your heart works for you every second of every day. Taking care of it isn’t about perfection—it’s about steady, sustainable choices.
If stress, anxiety, or burnout are affecting your physical health, don’t ignore it. Mental and physical health are deeply connected.
This month, choose one small change that supports your heart—and build from there. 💗

National School Counselors Week

This week, we celebrate the school counselors who show up every day for students academically, emotionally, and mentally. 💙

School counselors are often the first safe space a child finds. They listen, advocate, problem-solve, and support students through stress, anxiety, family challenges, and big life transitions, often behind the scenes and without enough recognition.

To all school counselors: thank you for your compassion, your patience, and your unwavering commitment to student well-being. Your work truly changes lives.

💙 With gratitude,
Priority Psychiatric Services

Noticing your energy feels low lately?

Your body’s “low battery mode” is a reminder to pause, unplug, and care for yourself.

Rest and boundaries aren’t avoidance — they’re sustainability.

Black History Month is a time to honor the resilience, contributions, and lived experiences of Black individuals,past and present.

At Priority Psychiatric Services, we recognize that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. Cultural identity, historical trauma, community strength, and systemic inequities all shape emotional well-being.

This month, and always, we commit to:
• Listening
• Learning
• Honoring lived experience
• Supporting mental health equity

We celebrate Black history, Black voices, and Black futures. 🖤

Louisiana Medicaid Plan Changes (2025)

⸻

📌 Why is my Medicaid plan changing?

Louisiana Medicaid did not renew its contract with UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and has partially reversed its decision about Aetna Better Health. Some members will stay with Aetna; others will be moved to new plans.

⸻

📌 Is UnitedHealthcare (UHC) still a Medicaid plan in Louisiana?

No. UHC will no longer participate as a Louisiana Medicaid plan for the upcoming coverage period.

⸻

📌 Is Aetna Better Health staying?

Partially.
Aetna will continue for some members, but not all.
You may still be reassigned to a different plan depending on your eligibility group.

⸻

📌 Will this affect my mental health services?

Possibly.
Different Medicaid plans have different provider networks.
You may need to verify that Priority Psychiatric Services is in-network with the plan you are reassigned to.

⸻

📌 How will I know if my plan is changing?

You will receive a letter or notice from Louisiana Medicaid telling you:
• if your plan is ending
• what plan you’re being moved to
• when the change starts

⸻

📌 What should I do if I’m unsure about my coverage?
