May is Mental Health Month and our counselors would like to share some of their favorite tools to show yourself a little love. When you express appreciation for yourself, it can help you find a sense of peace and have a more open mind when presented with the challenges we experience.
Since we just celebrated our 4th birthday, we thought it would be fun to celebrate our Center by sharing a timeline full of photos and accomplishments!
Everytime you go to the doctor’s office, your blood pressure is taken. We all know that this is a normal part of a physical exam, but why are the healthcare providers so stressed about making sure they throw on the cuff every single time you're there for a visit? Well, when you look into what the numbers mean… blood pressure is something that’s worth stressing over.
Blood pressure is a measure of how well or how hard your heart is working to get blood pumped throughout your body. Considering that blood and its contents are the key ingredients to each and every bodily process, making sure it gets where it’s supposed to go on time is pretty important.
