🌿 RVPCS Health Tip of the Week

Small habits = big health wins.

Did you know just 10–15 minutes of movement a day can help:

✅ Lower stress
✅ Improve heart health
✅ Boost energy and mood

It doesn’t have to be the gym, try a short walk, stretching while watching TV, or parking a little farther away. If you’re walking outside in the cold ❄️, be sure to bundle up, dress in layers, and cover your hands and ears to stay warm and safe. Every step counts toward a healthier you.

📊 Getting 150 minutes of physical activity per week (that’s about 20 minutes a day) can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and improve overall health. Source: (CDC)

And if you’re ready to take the next step, our River Valley Primary Care Services team is here to help with preventive care, wellness visits, and support that fits your life. 🩺

🤖⚠️ AI medical advice is everywhere, but not all of it is safe.

More and more, artificial intelligence (AI) tools and “AI doctors” are popping up online promising quick medical answers. Some of these tools can seem very convincing and even appear to come from a trusted source, but they can also spread inaccurate or misleading health information.

Here’s what you should know:

• Many AI-generated medical posts and deepfake “doctor” videos are created to look and feel legitimate, even when the information is not medically verified.

• AI doesn’t have access to your full medical history, personal context, or the ability to examine you physically, all critical pieces of safe medical care.

• Studies show people often trust AI medical advice too much, even when it’s inaccurate, which can lead to delays in appropriate care or unnecessary worry.

That’s why seeing a real provider in person matters:

🩺Your clinician can perform a physical exam and ask questions tailored specifically to you.

📋 We consider your medical history, medications, allergies, and overall health in real time.

✔ You get trusted, evidence-based advice, not generic or potentially misleading online content.

AI tools can be useful for general learning, but they should not replace professional medical care. When it comes to your health, nothing takes the place of talking to a qualified provider who knows YOU.

📞 Call us an schedule an appointment, we’re here to provide safe, personalized care you can trust.

🎁 🧸December is Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month!

Did your little ones unwrap new toys this holiday season? Now is the perfect time to make sure they’re safe.

Quick safety tips:

Check age recommendations 📝 on toys and games.

Inspect small parts 🔹 that could be choking hazards for young children.

Avoid broken or damaged toys ⚠️discard anything with sharp edges or loose pieces.

Battery safety 🔋: Make sure battery compartments are secure and batteries are stored safely.

Did you know? Each year, over 250,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms 🏥 for toy-related injuries. If an accident happens, seek immediate medical attention 🚑 and report serious hazards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Keeping toys safe helps children play, learn, and grow without risk. Take a few minutes to ensure your gifts are both fun and safe!

RVPCS had a wonderful day at Mulberry Elementary School spreading smiles and supporting healthy habits.

Thanks to generous donations from Toys for Tots, each child was able to pick out a stuffed animal to take home, we gave out over 130 stuffed animals! 🧸 In addition, students received free toothbrushes, floss, and bandages to encourage good health both at home and at school.

Our Mulberry Family Dental, dentist, Dr. Allison Neumeier, spoke with students about proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as foods and drinks that can harm their teeth. 🦷 This educational portion was tailored for kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd–4th grade students.

We were also joined by our Outreach and Education Specialist, Adriana Lacey, who helped coordinate this event in partnership with Toys for Tots and Mulberry Elementary. 🏫

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this day possible. The kids were happy, engaged, and excited, and that is what community care is all about. 🤝
