❄️ Did You Know Vitamin D Levels Drop in Winter?
Shorter days, less sunlight, and spending more time indoors can all lead to low Vitamin D — a common issue during the winter months.

Watch for signs of low Vitamin D:
⚠️ Fatigue
⚠️ Bone or muscle pain
⚠️ Mood changes
⚠️ Weakened immunity

We can help with vitamin D blood testing, supplement recommendations and follow-up monitoring.

🦴 Stronger Bones Start with Primary Care
Osteoporosis often has no symptoms — most people don’t know they have it until a fracture happens. That’s why early evaluation matters, especially for women age 50+.

At Premier Primary Care, we assess your bone health by reviewing:
✔️ Bone density history
✔️ Vitamin D levels
✔️ Calcium intake
✔️Fall-risk factors
✔️ Family history

💙 We are a primary care office — we evaluate your bone health and can refer you to Orthopedics when specialized care or testing is needed.

Protect your mobility. Protect your independence.
