Healthy habits start young! National Children’s Dental Health Month is a reminder of the importance of teaching kids good oral care early. Brushing twice a day, flossing, limiting sugary snacks, and regular dental checkups can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Parents, caregivers, and communities play a key role in making dental care fun and consistent for children. Let’s empower our kids with the knowledge and tools they need to keep their teeth strong, gums healthy, and smiles bright.

Together, we can help children grow up healthy, confident, and cavity-free!

Mary Eliza Mahoney made history as the first Black professionally trained nurse in the United States, breaking racial barriers in healthcare at a time when opportunities for Black women were extremely limited. Graduating in 1879, she set a powerful standard for excellence, professionalism, and compassionate patient care.

Beyond her clinical work, Mahoney was a fierce advocate for diversity and equity in nursing. She co-founded the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses, working to create space, support, and recognition for Black nurses nationwide. Her dedication helped open doors for generations who followed in her footsteps.

Mary Eliza Mahoney’s legacy lives on in every nurse who leads with skill, empathy, and determination. We honor her courage, resilience, and lasting impact on healthcare.

This Valentine’s season, we’re reminded that the strongest hearts aren’t just built on love; they’re supported by community, care, and healthy habits.

Whether it’s family, friends, or neighbors checking in, support plays a powerful role in heart health. Here are a few simple ways to show your heart some love:

- Keep Moving: Even small amounts of movement, like walking, stretching, or dancing, help strengthen your heart.
- Stay on Top of Checkups: Regular health screenings and appointments help catch concerns early and keep your heart on track.
- Care for Your Stress: Rest, deep breathing, and making time for joy all support heart health—because mental well-being matters too.

This month, let’s look out for one another, encourage healthy habits, and remember that caring for our hearts is something we do together. Because strong hearts build strong communities.

Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That includes removing barriers like cost, lack of access, discrimination, and unequal treatment, so care isn’t determined by who you are or where you live.

At PCHS, health equity is more than a definition; it’s a commitment. We believe healthcare should be rooted in:

• Access—ensuring individuals and families can get the care they need, when they need it
• Dignity—treating every person with respect, compassion, and understanding
• Quality Care—delivering services that meet high standards and support long-term well-being

When care is equitable, communities are stronger, healthier, and more resilient. We’re proud to do our part in advancing a healthcare system that works for everyone, not just some.

Together, we can continue building healthier futures for all.
