❌ Myth: “No one in my family uses opioids, so I don’t need Narcan.”

✅ Fact: Many overdoses happen accidentally, through prescribed medications or unexpected exposures. Having Narcan on hand is one more way to protect the people you love.

Naloxone (Narcan) is a nasal spray that can be easily administered to someone during a suspected overdose of opioids, prescription medications, he**in, or fentanyl.

Delta County has free access to this Narcan at two OSF HealthCare locations:
📍The OSF St. Francis Hospital Emergency Department waiting room
📍The OSF St. Francis Medical Group clinic lobby

Learn how to easily administer it here: http://osf.care/Tvvl50WRsyZ

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, please contact our offices at (906) 789-4040 for support.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It’s also one of the most preventable and treatable when caught early.

In this weeks' Medical Minute segment with WZMQ 19, Dr. Badine from our partner Green Bay Oncology, shares important information about risk factors, symptoms to watch for, and the life-saving importance of routine screenings.

If you’re 45 or older, have a family history, or have persistent bowel-related symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider about screening.

☀️⏰ Losing an hour this weekend? You may feel it.

😵 “Springing forward” can throw off your body’s natural rhythm.

Try this:
🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night leading up to the change
📱 Limit screens before bed
🌞 Get morning sunlight
😌 Keep your routine consistent

Small changes help your body adjust faster.

👶 And don’t forget the kids! Start moving their bedtime earlier now to avoid extra cranky mornings.

A bedtime routine can help children get the sleep they need, but at least twice a year, that schedule gets disrupted.
