Pap tests:

The current guidelines for Pap tests are for individuals aged 21-69 who were born female and have a cervix. We start annually at age 21 for the first 3 years and then (with 3 normal annual paps) they become once every 3 years.

Those with hysterectomies usually do not need paps, although there are exceptions especially if you have had certain cancers. If you are unsure please speak to Dr. Graham.

We are reaching out to people who seem to be overdue their pap in Dr. Graham's practice. I’ll be scheduling these exams for late April and for May. Some will be dispersed throughout our regular days and there will be some pap clinics. If you get a call from me about scheduling your pap, and you believe you do not need it, please discuss this with Dr. Graham.

While we may do some clinics for the community, at this time we are focusing on those that are overdue in our practice. If you need a pap outside of our clinic please call the Family Care Team at 709-695-9771.

Thank you!

The loss of a pet can be one of the most difficult experiences to navigate. For many, this grief can feel especially heavy when it’s not fully understood by others, or when we’re unsure how to process and express the depth of our emotions.

This week’s session is focused on coping with pet loss. Together, we’ll explore:

✔️ Understanding the emotional impact of losing a pet, including feelings beyond grief.

✔️ Why pet loss can feel so profound, —and why your feelings are valid.

✔️ Practical tools and strategies to help you cope, heal, and support your mental health.

sessions are open, welcoming spaces to learn more about mental health and access helpful resources in a safe, judgment-free environment. Whether your loss is recent or from years ago, we hope you’ll leave feeling supported, understood, and better equipped to care for yourself.

Coping with racing thoughts is something many people experience, yet it can often feel confusing, overwhelming, or isolating. We might find ourselves wondering, “Why do we think this way?” or “Why can’t we stop thinking? “Only to be met with even more thoughts.

This week’s session is focused on coping with the “racing mind.” Together, we’ll explore:

✔️ Why our brains think the way they do

✔️ Common thinking patterns that can lead to distress

✔️ Practical ways to respond to and cope with difficult thoughts

sessions are open, welcoming spaces to learn more about mental health and access helpful resources. We hope you’ll leave feeling more supported, understood, and empowered.

A reminder to patients, a "Virtual appointment" is still the same commitment as an in person appointment. Please be available/near your phone at the designated time scheduled and have any medications you may need close by during this call. Please provide Bobbi with the best number to reach you, plus an alternate number in case there is no answer. Please ensure that you do NOT have the “Screen unknown callers” option “ON” on your cell, as when Dr. Graham calls, it is from an “No caller ID”, and if you have “screen unknown callers” option ON, she will not be able to reach you. Your phone will not even ring on your end. If you need to cancel or change your appointments please contact the office ASAP.

Please know that if we do not reach you, we will try numerous times around your appointment time before we record you as a "No show". We will wait to hear from you to reschedule you. We will not keep trying to contact you outside of the couple of hours around your appointment time. Unfortunately we may be unable to give you a "Fit-in" for a missed appointment and you may have to wait until the next regular scheduled appointment.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, especially when wait times are higher over the next month or so.
