💙 March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Did you know that colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early? Staying up to date with screening can save lives.

Screening helps detect precancerous polyps or cancer early—often before symptoms even appear.

There are several screening options available, including:
✔️ Colonoscopy – the gold standard for detecting and removing polyps
✔️ FIT Testing – a simple at-home stool test done annually
✔️ Cologuard® – a non-invasive stool DNA test done at home

Not sure which screening is right for you? Our providers can help you decide the best option based on your personal risk factors and medical history.

📅 If you are 45 or older (or earlier if you have certain risk factors), now is the time to make sure you’re up to date with your screening.

Your health matters — and screening saves lives.

📞 Call our office today to schedule an appointment or speak with your provider about colorectal cancer screening options.

🎉🚨 102 YEARS YOUNG!!! 🚨🎉

Today we are celebrating a TRUE legend — our amazing patient turning 102 years old!

That’s right… 1️⃣0️⃣2️⃣

He has officially outlived:
• sliced bread trends 🍞
• 18 different U.S. presidents 🇺🇸
• rotary phones ☎️

At 102, he’s still sharp, still charming, and still reminding us all that age is just a number — a very impressive number! 💪

We are so honored to be part of his journey and to care for someone who has witnessed over a century of history, resilience, and life well lived.

Here’s to strong coffee, good humor, great stories, and 102 years of wisdom. ☕✨

Help us wish this incredible gentleman the happiest birthday ever! 🎂🎈

It’s a Lovely day at DMA 💕

From festive outfits to sweet treats, our team is celebrating Valentine’s Day the best way we know how — together, with lots of smiles (and maybe a little chocolate 🍫).

Speaking of hearts… today is a great reminder to show your real heart some love too! A few simple ways to keep it healthy:
❤️ Take a brisk walk — even 20 minutes helps
🥗 Choose more whole foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins
💧 Stay hydrated and limit sugary drinks
😴 Prioritize good sleep — your heart needs rest too
🩺 Keep up with your checkups and blood pressure screenings

According to the American Heart Association, small daily habits can make a big difference in long-term heart health.

We hope your Valentine’s Day is filled with kindness, laughter, and maybe a treat or two. From all of us at the office — take care of your heart today and every day! 💗!!!

Alright, cue the confetti 🎉📣

🌟 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: STEPHANIE!🌟

Let’s hear it for Stephanie, our absolutely unstoppable call center rockstar at the medical practice! 🏆📞

Her nominators put it best (and honestly, we couldn’t say it better):

I cannot say how much she deserves this. Only two of us were holding down the call center for first lunch, and she did it alone while I was on the phone. When I came back, I had to rewrite everything so it could be understood… and there was only ONE call waiting. She is a champ and I appreciate her. Please appreciate her too.

THAT. PART. 👏

Stephanie stepped up, held it down solo, kept the call center running smoothly, and did it all with grace, skill, and zero complaints. That’s not just impressive—that’s next-level team player energy. 💪✨

So join us in celebrating Stephanie for her dedication, teamwork, and superhero-level phone skills. Please appreciate her (a lot), because she more than earned this honor! 🎉🙌

👏👏👏 Congrats, Stephanie! 👏👏👏
