Though cold and flu season is upon us, it’s not too late to get your flu shot! Even as the season progresses, getting vaccinated is one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and your community from the flu. Each year, the flu can lead to serious illness, missed work or school, and even hospitalization, but a simple vaccine can make a big difference. Staying up to date with your vaccinations will help keep everyone healthier this holiday season.

If you have questions about the flu vaccine or your eligibility, talk to your doctor or a trusted healthcare professional. They can provide guidance and help you feel confident about your decision. Our office is also here to help, so give us a call if you need assistance. We offer mobile vaccine clinics and a homebound vaccination program for residents with limited mobility.

Protect yourself, protect others, and let’s stay healthy together!

Ryan Reynolds has been open about his lifelong struggle with anxiety. He shares several coping mechanisms including mindfulness and meditation--and laughter.

Adding more laughter into our lives has so many benefits, including:

1. Lowers Stress Fast
Laughter triggers the release of feel-good hormones like endorphins while lowering cortisol, the stress hormone.

2. Boosts Connection & Belonging
Sharing a laugh with someone instantly creates rapport.

3. Supports Physical Health
Laughter increases oxygen flow, improves circulation, and even strengthens your immune response.

We can all aim to seek out more laughter during each day for a little boost. 😆

Did you know more women annually die from lung cancer than breast cancer? Our cancer team knows that is a scary statistic, but they want you to know there is good news: early detection saves lives.

If you’re between the ages of 50–80 and have a history of smoking, ask your doctor about a low-dose CT scan.

Not sure if you qualify? Start the conversation anyway — your health matters.

Life is unpredictable, and there may come a time when you’re unable to speak for yourself. That’s why having a healthcare proxy is so important. You choose a trusted person to make medical decisions for you if you can’t communicate your wishes, and provide them with a written document outlining the care you’d like to receive.

Having a plan like this ensures your values are honored and gives both you and your loved ones peace of mind during stressful times. We can help you set up your healthcare proxy for free. Our team offers advance directive planning assistance, guiding you step by step, answering your questions, and helping you feel confident that your wishes are clearly documented. Planning ahead is one of the most caring things you can do for yourself and your family.
