🧠Today is World Stroke Day. Every minute matters when it comes to recognizing and responding to a stroke.

Remember F A S T:
🙂 Face – drooping on one side
💪 Arm – weakness or numbness
🗣️ Speech – slurred or confused
⏰ Time – call 911 right away

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, but many can be prevented. Family Health’s care teams provide ongoing support for blood pressure management, diabetes care, smoking cessation, and lifestyle coaching — helping you reduce your risk and live healthier, longer. 💙

💙 Your Story Can Help Protect Community Health 💙

Family Health is collecting real patient stories that show how our services have made a difference in people’s lives — especially in areas like Dental Care, Behavioral Health, and Medication Support.

Programs like these are made possible through the 340B savings program, which allows us to reinvest funds directly back into patient care.

If you or someone you love has a story to tell — maybe you received dental care that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise, or ongoing support managing a health condition that changed your life — we’d love to hear from you.

Please reach out to Kalie at kriffle@familyhealthservices.org or send us a private message. Your story matters — and it could help protect these programs for years to come. 💪

It’s National Health Education Week! 🌿
At Family Health, we believe that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools for better health.

This week, we celebrate our providers, care coordinators, educators, and staff who go above and beyond to help patients understand their health — from managing chronic conditions to making informed lifestyle choices.

Every conversation, every question answered, and every bit of education shared helps build a stronger, healthier community.
