🎁 December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month
Keeping our kids healthy starts with the choices we make long before playtime begins. This season, we’re reminding families to choose toys that support learning, fun, and most importantly, safety.

👶 Ages 0–3
Avoid small parts, button batteries, magnets, and anything that could break into sharp pieces. Look for sturdy, non-toxic materials and simple designs that encourage safe exploration.

👦 Ages 3–5
Check labels for age appropriateness and avoid toys with tiny detachable pieces. Opt for toys that build coordination and imagination, like blocks, books, and art supplies designed for early childhood.

🧒 Ages 6–12
Sports equipment should always come with protective gear. For electronics, make sure battery compartments are secure. Encourage supervised use of craft kits, STEM sets, and beginner tools.

🎮 Teens
Choose tech devices from trusted brands and review online safety settings together. For sports equipment, ensure helmets and pads fit correctly.

✔ Tips for All Ages
• Look for the ASTM or “Meets Safety Standards” label
• Avoid toys with strong magnets, loose batteries, or choking hazards
• Inspect toys for sharp edges and loose parts
• Keep older kids’ toys out of reach of younger siblings
• Always supervise play when trying out something new

🎄 The power of preventive healthcare, because many of the loved ones we’ll be seeing this holiday may be healthier and living longer thanks to it.

Routine check-ups, screenings, vaccines and early intervention don’t just help when you’re already sick; they help prevent serious illness before it starts.

🩺 Did you know that if every person in the U.S. got the recommended preventive care, we could save around 100,000 lives per year?

Many chronic diseases, illnesses that quietly build up over time, are either preventable or far easier to manage when caught early.

🎁 So this holiday, let’s appreciate not only the moments together, but also the gift of health: encourage friends and family to go for that “just to check” doctor visit, even if they feel fine. Because prevention can mean more time, more comfort, and more Christmases together. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🧼 It’s Handwashing Awareness Week!

Keeping our hands clean is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stay healthy, especially during cold and flu season. Just 20 seconds of good handwashing can help protect you, your family, and our community.

👏 When should you wash your hands?

• Before eating or preparing food
• After using the restroom
• After coughing or sneezing into your hands, or blowing your nose
• After touching pets 🐾
• Anytime they look or feel dirty

💧 Soap + water > hand sanitizer. Sanitizer is helpful, but nothing beats a good scrub!

When Illness Lingers: Why It’s Important to See a Provider

😷 It feels like everyone is getting sick right now, and many people try to power through without knowing what they actually have.
During the 2023–2024 flu season, the CDC estimated 40 million illnesses and 18 million medical visits nationwide.

🤧 When symptoms drag on, guessing can make recovery slower and more uncomfortable. A lingering cough, sinus pressure that won’t go away, or a fever that keeps coming back are signs it may be more than “just a cold.”

🩺 Seeing a provider helps you get clear answers and the right care. From flu and RSV to sinus infections and strep, our team can evaluate your symptoms, confirm what’s causing them, and help you feel better faster.

📅 Don’t wait it out if you’re not improving, we’re here to help you get back on track.

Sip Smart This Fall: How Healthy Is Your Coffee? 🍂☕

As the leaves change, many of us reach for a warm cup of coffee to start the day, or an afternoon pick-me-up. But not all coffee habits are created equal. Here’s what to think about:

Cups per day: 1–3 cups is usually safe. Moderation matters!

Sugar and cream 🍫🥛: Fancy drinks with whipped cream or flavored syrups can sneak in hundreds of calories. Swapping in cinnamon or a splash of milk keeps your drink tasty and lighter.

Hydration 💧: Coffee counts toward fluids, but don’t forget water, fall air can still dry you out.

Timing ⏰: Late-day coffee can affect sleep.

A cozy cup of coffee is a fall ritual, but making smarter choices helps you enjoy it without the sugar crash or restless nights.

🧈 Happy National Butter Day!

Butter has been part of cooking for thousands of years, but many people still wonder the same thing: Is butter actually healthy?

🥛 So, is it healthy or not?
Butter can fit into a balanced diet, but moderation is important since it’s high in saturated fat. You don’t have to avoid it, just be mindful of how much you use.

🧂 Is all butter the same?
Not quite. Real butter is generally a better choice than margarine, which can contain artificial ingredients. Grass-fed butter may have slightly higher nutrients, but the biggest difference always comes down to portion size.

📏 How much should you use?
For most meals, a small amount, around a teaspoon or two, is plenty for flavor without overdoing it. Using butter intentionally in cooking instead of adding it to everything is a simple way to support better overall nutrition.

🥗 Want guidance on healthy cooking and balanced eating?
Our RVPCS dietitian team can help you build healthier habits while still enjoying the foods you love. Call your nearest clinic to learn more or schedule a visit.

Veterans Day, Honoring Our Heroes🎖️

🌎 This day shares its roots with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, marking the end of World War I, when hostilities ceased at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Originally called Armistice Day, it became Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all who have served.

❤️🤍💙 At River Valley Primary Care Services, we’re proud to care for the veterans in our communities and thank them for their dedication and sacrifice.
