November is National Healthy Skin Month!

Your skin is your body’s largest organ — and one of its greatest protectors. This month, we’re celebrating the importance of healthy skin, hair, and nails, and reminding everyone to take small daily steps that make a big difference for your overall well-being.

Simple Habits for Healthier Skin:
🧴 Cleanse gently – Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers that don’t strip natural oils.
💦 Moisturize daily – Keep your skin hydrated, especially in the dry winter months.
🌞 Protect it – Wear sunscreen with SPF 30+ every day, even when it’s cloudy or cold.

🩺 Keep an Eye on Your Skin: Regularly check for any new or changing moles. Early detection saves lives—know your ABCDEs of melanoma: • Asymmetry • Border • Color • Diameter • Evolution

🥗 Healthy Inside = Healthy Outside: Eat well, stay hydrated, get enough rest, and avoid smoking — your skin will thank you.

Healthy skin isn’t just about appearance—it’s a key part of your overall health. Take care of it, protect it, and celebrate it this month and every month!

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

Hospice and palliative care focus on the whole person, helping patients and families feel supported during some of life’s hardest moments. Hospice isn’t about giving up—it’s about choosing care that puts comfort, clarity, and quality of life first.

Hospice isn’t a place; it’s a way of caring. It can happen at home, in a care center, or anywhere a patient calls home. It’s about comfort, dignity, and respecting your wishes—helping you live fully, on your own terms, with the people you love. Starting hospice or palliative care can bring more comfort, more peace, and more meaningful moments together.

This month, we honor the care teams who help people live well—with compassion, dignity, and heart.

Please join us in congratulating Britny Hill Gardner, the recipient of this year’s Paint Gillette Pink Cancer Survivor Spa Day Basket. 🌸

We received four heartfelt nominations for Britny — a true reflection of the love, admiration, and gratitude her friends and family feel for her. Through her journey as a single mom, survivor, and friend, she’s faced life’s toughest battles with courage, grace, and forgiveness. Her strength continues to inspire everyone around her.

Her loved ones shared stories of her perseverance — how she fought through fear and exhaustion, how she continues to put others first, and how her fight has opened the eyes of those who love her most. Britny’s story is a reminder that even in the hardest moments, hope and love shine the brightest.

Congratulations, Britny! Thank you for letting us celebrate your strength and spirit through Paint Gillette Pink. You’ve made an incredible impact on your family, friends, and community.

🪥 October is National Dental Hygiene Month! 😁

Dental hygiene is more than just brushing and flossing—it’s the foundation of a healthy smile and a healthier body. Good oral health helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and infections, and it’s also linked to heart health, diabetes management, and overall well-being. Why it matters:
✔️ Prevents painful dental issues
✔️ Supports overall health
✔️ Boosts confidence with a healthy smile

This month, we say a big THANK YOU to the amazing dentists and dental hygienists in our community who work every day to keep our neighbors healthy, comfortable, and smiling. Your care makes a lasting difference!

Remember: A healthy smile is part of a healthy life. Don’t forget to schedule your regular checkups and show your smile some love.
