Your baby’s health starts from day one 🤍

At Augusta Health, we encourage families to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2026 Immunization Schedule—because it reflects the latest science in protecting children.

At birth, this includes the first dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine and, during RSV season, an RSV antibody immunization to help keep your newborn safe.

We know you may have questions—and we’re here for them. Our team is always available to talk through your options and provide guidance every step of the way.

Talk with your pediatrician or labor & delivery team to learn more.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Vitamin K injections have been safely administered at birth for over 65 years.

In recent years, some studies have found evidence that more U.S. parents may be refusing vitamin K shots for their newborns. The AAP strongly recommends that all newborns receive a single intramuscular vitamin K shot shortly after birth to prevent life-threatening Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB).

Ask your healthcare provider to answer any questions you may have about the Vitamin K injection.

This National Healthcare Workforce Well-Being Day, we recognize that the people who care for our community are more than healthcare professionals—they’re parents, neighbors, friends, partners, and so much more. 💚

At Augusta Health, we’re committed to supporting the well-being of our team members through programs like Augusta Well Together, connection-building initiatives, and technology improvements that help reduce administrative burden. As a certified Wellbeing First Champion through the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, we’re proud to promote a culture where seeking mental health support is encouraged and stigma-free.

Because behind every healthcare professional is an exceptional person.

It’s time to celebrate National Nutrition Month! 🌟🥕

This month is all about making informed food choices and building healthy eating habits that last a lifetime. Small changes—like adding more fruits and veggies to your plate, staying hydrated, and choosing balanced meals—can make a big impact on your health.

💡 Try something new this month:
• Add a colorful veggie to every meal
• Swap sugary drinks for water
• Plan a balanced plate with lean protein, whole grains, and produce

Healthy choices today help create a healthier tomorrow. What’s one nutrition goal you’re working on this month? 🍎💚
