Every step counts — for your feet and your heart. Regular walking is one of the simplest ways to support heart health — just 30 minutes a day can help lower blood pressure, improve circulation, & reduce cardiovascular risk.

If foot pain, heel pain, or other concerns are limiting your ability to stay active, treatment may help you move more comfortably. Healthy feet make regular activity possible.

Talk with your primary care provider about a referral to Dr. Brantingham or learn more at https://www.curryhealthnetwork.com/getpage.php?name=Podiatry&sub=Services

February is American Heart Month. Quality sleep is essential for heart health, and the Curry Sleep Center in Gold Beach is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) — the gold standard for sleep medicine.

The Sleep Center offers both in-lab and at-home studies to evaluate sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, which can increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure if left untreated.

Learn more — and take the quick 10-second STOP-BANG questionnaire to see if you should talk with your provider about the benefits of a sleep study:

Phone Scam Alert – Spoofed Call Using Curry Medical Center’s Number

We want to let the community know that someone reported receiving a call that appeared to come from Curry Medical Center (541.412.2000). In the call, the caller tried to sell a medical device.
This was a spoofed call, meaning the caller ID was intentionally faked to look like it came from us.

A quick reminder that CHN, Curry General Hospital, and all of our clinics—including Curry Medical Center—do not call people to sell products, equipment, or medical devices.

The issue has been reported to the FCC and to our telecom vendor for review.

If you receive a call that seems unusual, the safest approach is to avoid engaging, avoid giving any personal information, and avoid answering questions that could be recorded for misuse. If you receive one of these calls, here is the link to file a complaint with the FCC: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=39744

Thank you to the community member who brought this to our attention. Sharing information like this helps protect others in our community.
