Know the Signs. Support the Cause.
What is Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)?

• Swelling in hands and feet
• Frequent infections
• Delayed growth or puberty
• Vision problems
• Stroke symptoms (weakness, numbness, speech issues)
• Chest pain, fever, breathing difficulty (acute chest syndrome)
Why It Matters
Early diagnosis and regular care can improve quality of life and prevent complications.
📞 Talk to your primary care provider today

📝 August is National Make-A-Will Month
At Family Care of The Bluegrass, we believe that caring for your health means caring for your future—and your family's peace of mind.
Creating a will isn’t just for the elderly or wealthy. It’s a vital step for anyone who wants to ensure their wishes are honored and loved ones are protected. Whether you're a new parent, a recent retiree, or somewhere in between, making a will is one of the most important things you can do for those you care about.
💙 Why it matters:
• Ensures your assets go where you want
• Protects your children and dependents
• Reduces stress and confusion for your family
• Gives you peace of mind
If you haven’t made a will yet, this month is the perfect time to start. We’re here to support your whole health journey—including planning for the future.
📌 Need help finding resources? Ask us at your next visit or give us a call to schedule an appointment today.
