❤️ National Wear Red Day is coming up! ❤️

The first Friday in February is all about wearing red to raise awareness for women’s heart health—and this year it’s Friday, February 6.

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women. Wearing red is a simple way to start conversations, show support, and remind the women in our lives to take care of their hearts.

So… do you have your outfit ready?
Red dress? Red shirt? Red tie? Even a pop of red counts.

Wear red for yourself.
Wear red for someone you love.
And if it’s been a while since your last check-up, let this be your reminder. We’re here for you—treating you like family. 🩺

Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you’re wearing red with us.

01/27/2026

We’ll be back to regular office hours tomorrow (Tuesday 1/27). 😊

If you missed an appointment today, you should have received a message with your newly scheduled time. If you’re unsure, just give us a call or send a text—we’re happy to help.

We’re also fitting 4½ days of appointments into 3½ days, so visits may take a little longer than usual. We truly appreciate your patience as we catch everyone up.

We hope you’ve all stayed injury-free during this cold snap. With wind chills like these, a fall outdoors—especially if you live alone—can quickly become a serious situation. Please be extra careful and check in on neighbors when you can.

And a quick reminder during extreme temperatures: don’t leave medications in your car, as heat and cold can affect how they work.

We’re glad to be back and look forward to seeing you tomorrow. 🩺

We usually talk about hearts and lungs, but don't forget your eyes!

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month. Glaucoma often has no early warning signs. If you have a family history or are over 60, make sure you’re keeping up with your eye exams.

We can help with referrals if you need an eye specialist in town. Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!
