January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month: Don't Let the "Silent Thief" Steal Your Sight. 👁️‍🗨️

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the United States, and it often comes with no early warning signs or pain. In fact, it's estimated that half of the people living with glaucoma don't even know they have it.

Who is at higher risk?
African Americans over age 40
Everyone over age 60, especially Hispanic/Latino Americans
People with a family history of glaucoma
individuals with diabetes

The good news? Early detection is your best defense. A comprehensive dilated eye exam can detect glaucoma in its early stages before significant vision loss occurs.

This January, prioritize your vision health. If you fall into a high-risk group or haven't had an exam recently, make that appointment. Your local Community Health Center is here to support your overall primary care needs and can help connect you to the screenings you need.

Welcome to 2026! A Fresh Start for a Healthier Future. ✨

As we step onto this fresh page, let’s embrace the blank slate with renewed energy, hope, and purpose.

Instead of pressure-filled resolutions, let's focus on meaningful intentions: prioritizing our well-being, showing up for our communities, and supporting one another. At the SCPHCA, we are re-energized for our mission to ensure quality healthcare access across South Carolina in the year ahead.

Whatever your goals are for 2026, know that your health is the foundation for achieving them. Let’s move forward, together.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and impactful New Year!

5 Tips for a Healthy & Happy Holiday Season! 🌟

The holidays are a wonderful time for celebration, but they can also be a bit overwhelming. Here are a few quick tips from the SCPHCA to help you stay your best this season:

Prioritize Your Rest: With busy schedules, don't forget that a good night's sleep is the best way to keep your immune system strong.

Stay Hydrated: Between the holiday treats and coffee, remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Keep Moving: A 15-minute walk after a holiday meal can do wonders for your digestion and your mood!

Manage Stress: Take five minutes of "me time" when things get hectic. Deep breathing goes a long way.

Don't Forget Preventive Care: If you’re feeling under the weather, reach out to your local Community Health Center early!

Wishing everyone in South Carolina a safe and vibrant holiday season!
