March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. As many of you are aware, our lovely phlebotomist, Erica, lost her husband to colon cancer in 2024. Let's honor Scott's memory by getting the word out to get screened STARTING AT AGE 45.
Overall diagnosis in younger adults has increased by nearly 15% since 2024. Don't put off your screening!

Love to see objective data illustrating what we have long speculated. DPC saves money!

Direct Primary Care (DPC) isn’t just a better experience, it delivers better outcomes at lower costs! The proof is in the pudding: patients who use DPC through Mending have a 36% better Medical Loss Ratio than traditional fee-for-service primary care. Investment in relationship-based care reduces total claims and saves money. That's the DPC difference. 💜

Heart diease has been the leading cause of death in the United States for over a century, responsible for approximately 1 in 5 deaths. It remains the number killer of both men and women across most racial and ethnic groups. Make sure you know your risk and speak with your physician about how to improve your heart health!

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the U.S. But it doesn’t have to be. That’s why knowing the steps for preventing heart disease is key.

Measles is here in Maine. If you are uncertain about your vaccination status (particularly if you were vaccinated between 1963-1968), don't hesitate to reach out.

Maine has confirmed its first case of measles since 2019.
Measles is very contagious and can be dangerous. It spreads quickly among people who have not received the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. If you think you or your child may have measles, call your health care provider. They can help make arrangements to see you without risking the health of others.
