As Dry January comes to a close, it’s a great time to reflect on how a short break from alcohol can benefit your heart. ❤️
Research shows that higher alcohol intake is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, while even a few weeks of cutting back can help improve blood pressure, sleep, and overall cardiovascular health.
Whether you continue your break or simply become more mindful moving forward, every heart-healthy choice makes a difference. Cheers to feeling your best. 💧

Big news! RAO Heart & Vascular is on the move. 🚚
March the 2nd we’re excited to welcome you to our new location at:
📍 118 O’Brannan Park, Dothan, AL 36303
Same expert care. Same compassionate team. A new space designed with our patients in mind. ❤️

We’re growing — and that growth creates an opportunity.

As we prepare to move into our new, expanded facility this March the 2nd, we will be leasing our current building at 200 Medical Care Way in Dothan, conveniently located just across the street from Southeast Medical Center.

This building has been a wonderful home for us, but our continued growth requires more space — making this an excellent opportunity for another medical or professional practice.

✨ Property Highlights:
• 4,500 square feet of modern, updated space
• Spacious front desk and welcoming waiting room
• 8 private exam rooms
• Nurses’ station
• Staff restrooms + dedicated patient restroom
• Built-in water dispenser
• Existing internet and phone drops
• Designed for efficient clinical workflow

This is a turnkey medical office in a prime location, ready for its next chapter.

🫀 Thoughts on the “New” Food Pyramid & Heart Health 🫀
Over the years, nutrition guidance has changed — sometimes dramatically. As a cardiology office, we see firsthand how diet, lifestyle, and long-term habits significantly impact heart health and the development of chronic diseases.
Rather than focusing on trends or labels, the bigger picture matters most:
✔️ Emphasizing whole, minimally processed foods
✔️ Prioritizing lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables
✔️ Being mindful of refined carbohydrates and added sugars
✔️ Understanding that one size does not fit all
Education is key — not just for today, but for future generations. Helping patients understand why food choices matter empowers them to make sustainable changes that support heart health, energy, and overall well-being.
Small, informed choices made consistently can lead to meaningful improvements over time. ❤️
If you have questions about nutrition and heart health, we’re always here to help guide you.
