Important Health Reminder: Staying home and taking simple precautions when you’re sick with a respiratory virus — like the flu, COVID-19, or RSV — helps protect the people around you, especially those at higher risk of severe illness. The CDC outlines practical steps for when to stay home, how to safely return to normal activities, and extra precautions like good hygiene, cleaner air, and mask-wearing to reduce the spread. Learn how small actions can make a big difference in keeping our communities healthier.

Respiratory illnesses can disrupt your respiratory system, leading to:

🤧Upper respiratory symptoms: Issues affecting your vocal cords and above, like a runny nose.
😮‍💨Lower respiratory symptoms: Problems below your vocal cords, like a persistent cough.
🤒Other symptoms: Tiredness, weakness, fever, and more.

If your symptoms worsen, talk to your doctor about treatment options.

Flu season may hit harder this year — here’s what experts are seeing.

Early data from the U.S. and abroad suggests this could be a strong flu season, with the dominant strain (H3N2) known to cause more severe illness. A new variant is also circulating, which means it may bypass some natural immunity.

But there’s good news:
Health experts say the flu shot still greatly reduces your risk of hospitalization, especially for kids.

At Helix Urgent Care we’re here to help you feel better, faster.
Walk in any day of the week for flu testing, treatment, or a same-day evaluation. No appointment needed.

Stay healthy. Stay protected. We’ve got your back this flu season.

🍽️ 🦃 Thanksgiving is all about family, gratitude… and great food.
But overeating can lead to indigestion, bloating, nausea, or even flare-ups of existing conditions.

Tips to enjoy your favorite dishes without discomfort:
🥗 Start with protein + veggies — turkey, salads, green beans
🧈 Go easy on butter, gravy, and heavy sauces
🥧 Pick ONE dessert you truly love instead of sampling everything
💧 Drink water throughout the day to support digestion
🚶‍♀️ Take a 10–15 minute walk after dinner: it helps!

If stomach pain, severe reflux, or nausea doesn’t go away after the holiday… we’re here to help.
❗️Please note: We will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving Day.
📅 We resume regular business hours on Friday, November 28.
Walk-ins welcome — no appointment needed.
