November is COPD Awareness Month 🫁

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) — often caused by smoking — is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Nearly 16 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with COPD, and many more may not even know they have it.

The good news? COPD is both preventable and treatable!

Learn the signs, understand your risk, and find out how you can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy and COPD-free. 💙

Home Care & Hospice Appreciation Post 🥳

Today we’re celebrating our incredible Home Care & Hospice team, the nurses, aides, therapists, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers who bring compassion and comfort into the homes of our patients every day.

Whether helping someone regain independence after an illness or providing comfort and dignity through end-of-life care, they do it all with kindness, skill, and heart. ❤

Their work often happens quietly, but its impact is deeply felt by families across our community. Our Home Care & Hospice team advances our mission every single day, and we couldn’t do it without them!

🐭 We’ve got a mouse problem!

But don’t worry, we've got the best IT team around. They keep all four of our centers running seamlessly and somehow stay patient when the fix is as easy as “did you try turning it off and back on again?”

We couldn’t do it without them! 🖱️💻

November is Diabetes Awareness Month.

Diabetes touches so many lives — and it is more common in rural areas where nearly 1 in 10 adults have been diagnosed, compared to about 8% in urban areas (CDC, 2023).

But, living in a small town shouldn’t mean fewer health resources and poorer health. At Hot Springs Health Program, we’re here to help with local care, education, and support for every step of your health journey.

This is no trick - today is the last day of National Pharmacy Month!

We might be biased, but we think we have one of the best pharmacy teams around! 💊

Whether they’re helping patients understand their medications, coordinating with providers, or ensuring our clinics have what’s needed, they’re an essential part of how we care for our communities.

Please join us in our appreciation, and give your pharmacist a treat, and a big THANK YOU today!

💊 October is — and we’re proud to say that all four of our rural clinics have on-site pharmacies!

Across North Carolina, many rural communities still face pharmacy access gaps. At Hot Springs Health Program, we believe that where you live shouldn’t determine the quality of your care.

That’s why we’ve made it our mission to bring health care to you — because local clinics + on-site pharmacies = better care, right here at home. ❤️

We’re so grateful for everything you do for our patients and our community. Thank you for your compassion, skill, and dedication!
