November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 💙
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.—but early detection saves lives.

Here’s what you should know:

A low-dose CT scan can detect cancer early, when treatment works best.
People ages 50–80 with a 20+ year smoking history should talk with their provider about screening.
Every 2.2 minutes, someone is diagnosed—but when caught early, the 5-year survival rate rises to 64%.

If you’re unsure whether screening is right for you, we’re here to help.
Call us at (256) 686-3456 or visit whitfieldfp.com to schedule your appointment.

🎃 Halloween Safety Tips from Your Family Practice Team! 👻

Hey parents (and kiddos!), Halloween’s all about costumes, candy, and fun—but a few smart moves keep everyone safe and healthy. Our team sees a few more bumps and scrapes this time of year, so here’s what helps avoid them:

🧡 Costume Smarts:
Pick outfits that fit well so no one trips running door to door. Add reflective tape or bright colors so drivers spot kids after dark. Face paint beats masks—masks can block vision.

🕯️ Trick-or-Treat Tips:
Stick to familiar neighborhoods and houses with porch lights on. Kids under 12 should have an adult along. Carry a flashlight or glow stick and agree on a meet-up spot—just in case.

🍬 Candy Check Time:
Wait till you’re home to dig in. Toss anything unwrapped or that looks off. Little ones? Save hard candies or gummies for older kids. Check labels if your child has allergies.

🐶 Pet Precautions:
Keep pets leashed or inside—costumes and crowds can stress them out. Chocolate and xylitol (in sugar-free gum) are dangerous for them, so stash that candy up high.

🚗 For Drivers:
Slow down in neighborhoods between 5:30–9 p.m.—lots of excited little goblins will be out and about.

If a minor accident happens, clean small scrapes with soap and water and cover them. For serious injuries or breathing trouble, call 911.

Stay warm, stay visible, and stay safe out there—let’s make this Halloween one to remember for all the right reasons! 🎃

Getting ready for shorter days in North Alabama? Your body needs prep too! ☀️ Less sunlight means less natural vitamin D, which affects everything from your immune system to your mood. Consider vitamin D supplements (we can help you figure out the right amount), eat foods like fatty fish and fortified cereals, and get outside during those precious sunny moments. Your bones and immune system will thank you all winter long! How do you prepare your body for the darker months?
