💭 Chest pain, anxiety or something more serious? 🤔 It’s a common concern, and this guide breaks down the differences in a way that can help you understand what you’re feeling.

Anxiety and panic can cause real chest discomfort, often sharp, sudden, and tied to stress, but serious conditions like heart attacks have patterns like crushing pressure, pain that spreads to the arms/jaw, nausea, or shortness of breath.

The key takeaway? Chest pain should never be ignored, if you’re unsure or the pain is new, severe, or persistent, seeking medical care is the safest move. ❤️👩‍⚕️🩺

👶 More women are choosing to have babies later in life, and most pregnancies after 35 will be healthy with the right care.

According to Associated Press, about 21% of U.S. births in 2023 were to women age 35+, more than double the rate in 1990. While risks like high blood pressure or gestational diabetes can increase with age, prenatal care, screenings, and healthy habits can help support safe pregnancies for both mom and baby.

While there’s no such thing as a free lunch, there are people working every day to make sure health care isn’t out of reach.
Meet Michael Mackert, this year’s keynote speaker.

Mackert is a PHD, Director of the Center for Health Communication and professor at The University of Texas at Austin. He is dedicated to helping people better understand and act on health information, especially those facing significant barriers to accessing health care.

His work develops evidence-based communication strategies around issues like to***co cessation, opioid overdose prevention, and prenatal health.

Join People’s Community Clinic at their 30th annual There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch on May 11, to protect Central Texas access to high quality, affordable care for the community.

Because while lunch may not be free, compassionate care should never be out of reach. 💙

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there are people who make sure care isn’t out of reach. Meet Ray Benson. 🎶

In 1970, Ray founded Asleep at the Wheel while farmsitting in Paw Paw, West Virginia, an unexpected start for a Philadelphia-born musician who fell in love with Western swing at a young age. What began as a passion for music grew into a legendary career and a lifelong commitment to community. Learn more about Ray Benson at the link in the comments.

Today, we’re proud to honor Ray for his advocacy and leadership in expanding access to health care.

Join People’s Community Clinic for an inspiring afternoon supporting high quality, affordable care for our community. Because while lunch may not be free, compassionate care should never be out of reach. 💙

🧠 What is meningitis? What symptoms should you watch for?

Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord, caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or other factors, and some types can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Symptoms can include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea, light sensitivity, and confusion, and they can appear suddenly. Vaccines exist for certain serious bacterial forms, and early diagnosis and treatment make a huge difference.
