Today’s Vital Signs is coming to you with a little extra Christmas cheer. We are closed today to be with our families like you are with yours. But tomorrow we will be open for any mishaps, illnesses or injuries that might have occurred over this joyous day.
Christmas is here, which means twinkling lights, family gatherings, endless cookies… and unfortunately, a whole lot of sniffles, slips, and surprises. Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a kid waking up with a fever the day before the big family photo.
But don’t worry — that’s why we’re here.
Whether you sliced your finger wrapping presents, pulled a muscle reaching for the decorations on the top shelf, or caught the Christmas cold that’s making its way around every classroom in Joplin… AFC has you covered.
We see everything from sore throats and sinus infections to sprains, strains, and the occasional “I fell off the ladder hanging lights and really regret it now” moment. And the best part? You can walk right in. No appointments, no hassle, just fast, friendly care so you can get back to celebrating.
So this season, take care of yourself. Enjoy the cookies. Watch those Hallmark movies guilt-free. Stay warm, stay healthy — and if life throws you a holiday curveball, come see us. We’ll help you feel better fast, so you can enjoy the magic of Christmas instead of spending it miserable on the couch.
From all of us at American Family Care Joplin, have a happy, healthy holiday — and a very Merry Christmas.
