🛡️ Illness Prevention: Small Steps Make a Big Difference

Staying healthy starts with simple, everyday habits—especially during cold and flu season.

✔️ Wash your hands often
✔️ Stay up to date on recommended vaccines
✔️ Cover coughs and sneezes
✔️ Clean frequently touched surfaces
✔️ Get enough sleep, eat well, stay active, and manage stress
✔️ Stay home when you’re sick to protect others

⚠️ Know when to seek care:
While many illnesses can be managed at home, seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or become severe. Difficulty breathing, a persistent high fever, chest pain, confusion, or signs of dehydration may require medical care.

📞 Call your healthcare provider’s office to schedule an appointment and get guidance on the next steps to help you recover and feel better.

Preventing illness helps protect you, your loved ones, and our community. 💙

What memories make this season the most special for you?

💚 Heather remembers driving around her pasture when her kids were little, searching for the perfect Christmas tree — a simple tradition filled with laughter and love.

🎅 Jaime’s favorite Christmas was the year Santa brought her a horse! She was so excited she screamed and ran to wake up her dad, who had been up all night working in a snowstorm. Santa even left a letter explaining he had to leave the horse at her friend Buck Merits’ house — pure Christmas magic. ✨
Jaime also says her mom makes legendary hot chocolate every Christmas morning. ☕❤️

We love hearing these stories — share your favorite Christmas memory in the comments below! 🎁🎄
