Celebrating Go Red For Women Day with a visit from another furry friend! The Go Red For Women initiative is designed to bring awareness of cardiovascular disease in women. The unique life stages a woman experiences, such as pregnancy and menopause, can put them at increased risk for CVD. We want all women to be health aware! Make sure you see your physician regularly to have labs and blood pressure checked as needed. Don’t be afraid of what you might find, staying on top of your health benefits you AND your family- knowledge is power 💪🏼 ❤️

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, so we wanted to provide some quick education!
1- PREVENTION through VACCINATION has significantly reduced the number of women affected by this form of cancer.
2-VACCINATION against HPV, the leading cause of cervical cancer, is recommended for women AND MEN
3-VACCINATION is recommended for everyone ages 9-45, not just adolescents!
4. The BEST method of early detection for cervical cancer is a PAP SMEAR, which is actually a very quick and painless process.
5. PAP SMEARS are no longer recommended annually but instead on average every 3-5 years depending on age and risk factors.
Questions about the vaccine, pap smears, or risk factors? Ask your provider! Knowledge is power and prevention and early detection save lives 💙

Local friends, you might recognize our January Med Student-Columbus native Cam Collins! After a vast musical career including time in the United States Navy Band and on Broadway, Cam decided to pursue a second career in medicine. He is currently attending medical school in Wisconsin but knew he wanted to spend a rotation here at Sage Direct Care. We are thrilled to have Cam with us this month!

For over a year, I have been recommending a lipoprotein a (Lpa) test for all adults. $10 for Sage Direct Care patients. Great article about the importance of this cholesterol.

Have you had your Lp(a) levels checked lately?

Vomiting, puking, throwing up, etc-there’s lots of names for it but no matter what you call it the stomach bug is NO FUN! Here are 5 facts to help you survive it:
1. Kids notoriously have terrible aim, and little control. Don’t expect them to make it to the bathroom! Use a trash can (double lined) or plastic bowl and keep it bedside.
2. Vomiting makes you thirsty but do NOT drink or let your kiddo drink immediately after (except to rinse and spit. We generally recommend waiting AT LEAST 30 minutes (ideally 60) after vomiting before starting fluids then start with sips-slow and steady wins the race. (and if it strikes again, the clock starts over)
3. Speaking of drinking, do NOT give your kiddo milk when they’re vomiting no matter how much they ask for it (EXCEPTION: if you are a breastfeeding momma go ahead and nurse your sick one, they’ll be good to go). Clear fluids (water, Pedialyte, Gatorade, Sprite, popsicles) are best.
4. If they fall asleep, let them sleep! Sleep is a great tool to let a crampy/upset stomach settle. (yes, check on them periodically. also yes, tuck a beach towel across their bed).
5. You can start solids again once it’s been 6 hours without vomiting. Your best bets are things like crackers, pretzels, dry cheerios, toast, etc. Do not be alarmed if it takes 24 hours OR MORE for their appetite to return to normal. Fluid intake trumps solids.
(2 bonus notes…
*vomiting is often followed by other unpleasant gastrointestinal occurrences. Don’t be surprised, do be prepared with cleaning supplies and heaps of patience. *if your child has significantly less wets, no tears when crying, or is unable to tolerate fluids after several attempts please contact your physician!)

It’s not too late in the season- we still have flu and covid vaccines available for ALL ages! (including the hard to find covid vaccine for ages 6mo+). Another important vaccine you have likely heard of in the news is Tdap. This vaccine isn’t just for someone who’s stepped on a rusty nail-the “p” stands for Pertussis aka “whooping cough”. Protection is crucial for not only infants but their caregivers and family members as well! Unsure what if any vaccines you need? We can help! Feel free to reach out at 812-308-3594
