Here at the Health Center, we want to help you succeed on your journey to good health both when visiting us in the office and once you’re back at home. So we can better work together, our Virtual Blood Pressure Monitoring Program gives us real-time blood pressure data to make adjustments and monitor your progress without additional office visits.
Spring Break is a fantastic time to get away, but for some of us, we either can’t, or we don’t have the time to get away from home. If you’re going to be home with your kiddos, you might want some fun spring break ideas.
Children with Medical Handicaps - We are Here to Help You!
We don’t want you to feel alone if you have a child with medical handicaps. We know that it is a full-time job caring for your child and you may feel that you have no one in your corner. But that’s certainly not the case.
We get it, talking about our colon is not everyday conversation. But your colon serves a vital function and when it’s not healthy, all kinds of issues can happen. One of those is colon cancer. Screening is so important and can usually be treated if it’s caught early. Yearly wellness exams are a great way to start, making it easier to find issues, treat them, and keep you healthy. Many times, early-stage colon cancer has no symptoms, so everyone 45 and older should get a yearly exam and do a test.
