We had the best time at Career Day at Elberta Elementary! 💙

Charity, Dawn, and Dr. Tomaso loved getting to visit with the students and share a little about what we do each day at the clinic.

It’s always special getting to pour back into our community and maybe even inspire a few future healthcare workers along the way! 🩺✨

Thank you, Elberta Elementary, for having us!

Y’all may have already seen her smiling face around the clinic, but we wanted to take a minute to properly introduce one of our own 💛

✨ Lacey Santa Cruz has been with us for a little while now here at Elberta Family Practice Clinic, and we are so thankful to have her as part of our team!

🩺 A little about her:

Lacey is a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner and nurse educator with a strong foundation in both clinical practice and academia. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama and went on to complete both her Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice at Jacksonville State University. Her professional experience includes five years as a pediatric registered nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. In addition to her clinical work, Lacey serves as a full-time nursing faculty member at Columbia Southern University. She is passionate about preparing future nurses through effective teaching strategies, meaningful mentorship, and the integration of real-world clinical experiences into the learning environment.

Lacey is a life-long resident of Baldwin County, along with her husband, Caleb Santa Cruz, who serves as the youth pastor for Summit Church. Together, they have a young son and two dogs. Ministry is a central part of her life, and she values opportunities to serve and connect with others through it. In her free time, she enjoys reading, exploring her interest in American history, and discovering new foods, especially when traveling with her husband. She also values outdoor leisure time, whether relaxing with her family, walking their dogs, or enjoying nature as a way to recharge.

Lacey looks forward to building lasting relationships and serving the community she has always called home.

💧 Feeling tired or sluggish? You might just need more water!

As the weather heats up ☀️, staying hydrated becomes even more important for your overall health.

When you’re well hydrated, your body can:
• ⚡ Boost energy levels
• 🧠 Improve focus and clarity
• ❤️ Support heart and overall health
• 🌡️ Help regulate body temperature
• 💦 Prevent dehydration, especially during hot days

Spending time outside, sweating more, or staying active can all increase your need for water. So don’t forget to drink up!

👉 Make it a habit to drink water all day long, not only when thirst kicks in.

🌼 Spring is here… and so is the pollen! 🌼

Warmer days, blooming flowers, and unfortunately those sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion that come with seasonal allergies 🤧🌿

If you’re feeling the effects, you’re not alone!

Simple steps that can help reduce symptoms:
• 🪟 Keep windows closed
• 🧼 Change air filters regularly
• 🚿 Rinse off after being outdoors

💧 Saline nasal spray can also be a great option. It helps rinse pollen and irritants out of your nasal passages, reduce congestion, and keep your nose hydrated without medication.

💊 There are also allergy medications that may provide relief—but be sure to talk to your doctor about what’s right for you before starting anything new.

Let’s enjoy the beauty of spring while keeping your health in check 🌸💛

Our team is here for you and your family every step of the way. Let’s make this season a healthy and happy one together!
