Have you had a health screening? Screenings help find problems early when they may be easier to treat. Using only a finger prick we can determine your numbers in a short time.
Diabetes: People with family history, who have gestational diabetes or who are overweight should be screened. Lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, healthy eating, and physical activity are ways to prevent diabetes. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for high cholesterol and heart disease.
High Blood Pressure: Staying active and eating a healthy diet can minimize high blood pressure. A family history of heart disease or stroke may warrant more frequent screenings.

If you have too much cholesterol in your body, it can build up inside your blood vessels and make it hard for blood to flow through them. Over time, this can lead to heart disease. Know your numbers.
You will get your results immediately and have a copy to share with your provider.

If you’ve lost someone to su***de and have found peace in your healing journey, your experience is powerful. Consider becoming a LOSS Team volunteer—your voice, your empathy, your survival story can make all the difference for someone in their darkest moment. Survivors paired with mental health professionals offer hope, support, and resources after su***de loss—often meeting within 2–48 hours to deliver comfort when it’s needed most. Nebraska’s LOSS Teams are always welcoming new survivor volunteers—no prior professional experience required, just a heart for helping others heal.

❄️ Winter Car Seat Safety Reminder!

Big coats + car seats = a dangerous combo. Puffy layers create extra space under the harness, making it too loose in a crash.

✔️ Buckle kids in snugly
✔️ Put coats/blankets over the harness
✔️ Warm the car first if you can

Safe AND cozy is possible! 💙
