Brain injuries aren’t always visible.

Unlike a broken arm or a cut, you can’t always see a brain injury. But for many people, the effects are very real—affecting memory, mood, balance, and everyday life.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to learn more about something that often goes unnoticed.

A concussion, fall, accident, or sports injury can sometimes lead to long-lasting symptoms. Knowing the signs and taking brain health seriously matters.

Take a few minutes this month to learn about brain injuries and how they affect people every day.

Have you ever known someone recovering from a brain injury?
Your story could help others understand. 💙

If you ever have concerns after a head injury, don’t brush it off.
We’re here to help.

Longer evenings mean more time to get outside and move. ☀️

Even a short walk after dinner can help you feel better and sleep better.

What will you do with the extra daylight tonight?

With warmer weather sneaking up on us, it is a great time to think about your skin. We offer general dermatology right here in the office to check out those new spots, rashes, or dry patches. A quick check brought major peace of mind to a patient just the other day. When was your last skin check? Book your visit easily at whitfieldfp.com. ☀️

Running around town for bloodwork is no fun when you are already busy. Our on-site lab testing means you get quick results without those extra trips. One mom told us it saved her a whole afternoon last week, letting her get straight to soccer practice instead! Does saving a little extra time make a difference in your week? Stop by or call to learn more.

❤️ Heart Attacks Don’t Always Look the Same

Did you know men and women can have different symptoms during a heart attack?

Most people think of sudden chest pain. And yes—that’s common.
But it’s not the only sign.

Women are more likely to have:
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea or vomiting
• Back or jaw pain
• Extreme fatigue
• Lightheadedness

Men more often report:
• Chest pressure or squeezing
• Pain in the left arm
• Sweating
• Shortness of breath

Here’s the thing… if something feels off, don’t ignore it. Trust your gut. ❤️

We care for a lot of heart health right here at Whitfield Family Practice—from annual exams to stress tests and ongoing care. Catching things early can make all the difference.

Take a minute to learn the signs here: https://wb.md/4b1JNnF

Have you ever been surprised by a symptom that didn’t seem “textbook”?

If you’ve got questions about your heart health, call us at 📞 (256) 686-3456 or text securely at 📱 (256) 686-9399.

We’re here. And we treat you like family. 🩺

Learn the symptoms and how to diagnose a heart attack, treatment options, and what you can do to reduce your risk.
