Happy Heart Health Month! ❤️

We want to remind everyone to take care of your heart and encourage those around you to do the same. This Friday is National Wear Red Day, and we invite you to join us by wearing red to show your support in the fight against heart disease.

Did You Know?
• Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S.
• Small lifestyle changes like staying active, eating heart-healthy foods, managing stress, and getting regular screenings can make a big difference.
• Knowing your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar) is key to protecting your heart.

We'd also like to share that Spencer Hospital is partnering with Spencer Main Street for their Chocolate Walk event on February 7th. Visit 10 stops to be entered into a drawing for either a $25 gift card or a free Planet Heart screening at Spencer Hospital!

Burn Awareness Week is a great time to remember that many burn injuries happen in our homes, and the good news is that most of them are preventable! At Spencer Hospital, we care about your safety and want to share some friendly tips to help keep you and your family safe:

Prevent Burns - Remember to turn pot handles inward, use dry oven mitts, and keep little ones at least 3 feet away from stoves, grills, and other hot surfaces. Safety first!

If a Burn Happens - Don’t panic! Act fast by cooling the burn under running cool water for a few minutes. Then, gently cover it with a clean, dry cloth. And please steer clear of using creams, butter, or home remedies.

Call 911 - If you ever encounter a burn that’s large, deep, very painful, blistering, or if you’re unsure about how serious it is, don’t hesitate to call for immediate medical help.

Let’s all take a few simple steps to prevent serious injuries. Together, we can make our homes safe for everyone!

A very special congratulations to Rich Hall, Information Technology Technical Analyst, on reaching 20 years of service at Spencer Hospital this January! 🎉

For two decades, Rich has been an invaluable part of the IT department and Spencer Hospital. His dedication, kindness, and helpful nature have made a lasting impact on both our coworkers and patients.

It was only fitting to capture Rich in his signature “Fun Shirt Friday” attire for his anniversary photo! His Hawaiian shirts, and the smiles they bring, are a favorite sight in our hallways.

Thank you, Rich, for the difference you make every day for our coworkers, patients, and our healthcare community. We are truly grateful for all that you do!

Extreme cold can lead to frostbite! Frostbite occurs when skin and underlying tissue freeze after exposure to extreme cold. Reduced blood flow causes ice crystals to form in the tissue, which can lead to serious damage and ongoing pain if not treated. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proven to heal frostbite by delivering high levels of oxygen to damaged tissue, improving blood flow and supporting recovery—even if treatment is started later.

At Spencer Hospital we're proud to offer innovative treatments like medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy through our Wound Care Clinic to help treat frostbite and other complex wounds. If you or a loved one have experienced frostbite or other challenging wounds, reach out to us at 712-264-6392 to begin your path to healing.
