January puts a spotlight on cervical health, and that matters more than many people realize.

Regular screenings are about staying ahead, not waiting for something to feel wrong. They help catch changes early and give women peace of mind when it comes to their long-term health.

A new year is a natural moment to reset routines, including your health care.

Establishing or re-establishing primary care early in the year helps keep medications organized, chronic conditions monitored, and preventive screenings on track. It also gives you time to talk through health goals with a provider who knows your history and can support you throughout the months ahead.

Starting strong now can make the rest of the year easier to manage and less reactive.

A first visit goes smoothly when you know what to bring and what to expect.
New patients can speed up their check-in by having a photo ID, insurance information, and any required paperwork ready at the front desk. Bringing a list of current medications (including doses and supplements) also helps providers get a full picture of your health.

These small steps make it easier for the care team to review your history, understand your needs, and prepare the right plan for your appointment. It also helps reduce wait times for you and your family.

Diabetes can affect more than blood sugar. It can also change the health of your eyes, often before symptoms appear. That’s why regular retinal screenings play such an important role in long-term wellness.

These visits help detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or swelling at the back of the eye. Early findings give your provider more time to protect your vision and adjust your care plan when needed.

Routine eye care also supports overall diabetes management by tracking how your condition is affecting different parts of the body. It’s a simple step that can prevent complications later on.

Winter brings colder days and shorter sunlight, and it can shift the way your body feels and functions. Here are five simple wellness reminders to help you stay steady through the season.

1️⃣ Support Vitamin D Levels
Lower sunlight can reduce Vitamin D. A quick check with your provider can guide supplements or diet adjustments.

2️⃣ Protect Your Sleep Rhythm
Early sunsets can disrupt rest. Steady bedtimes and calming evening habits help your body stay on track.

3️⃣ Strengthen Immunity Through Food
Seasonal produce like citrus, dark greens, and winter squash provides key nutrients for immune support.

4️⃣ Stay Hydrated in Cold Weather
Hydration often dips in winter. Small, regular water breaks keep energy and focus steady.

5️⃣ Keep Your Body Moving
Light activity (stretching, short walks, or indoor exercises) boosts mood and circulation during colder days.

Our medical and nutrition teams can help you build a winter routine that supports your health needs.
