🩺 Walk-In Flu Shots Available! No Appointment Needed

Flu shots are here — just walk in and get protected!

Why get your flu shot this season?

When flu vaccine strains match circulating viruses, it can reduce your risk of getting the illness by 40-60%

Even if you do get the flu, vaccinated people tend to have less severe illness, fewer hospitalizations, and a lower risk of death

Flu vaccination prevents hundreds of thousands of outpatient visits, tens of thousands of hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths each year

Among people with chronic medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart or lung disease), flu shots are linked with reduced worsening of those conditions and fewer hospitalizations

Since opening our doors in 2005, our mission has remained the same: to provide compassionate, personalized care to every patient who walks through our doors. From routine check-ups to life-changing treatments, we have been honored to be here.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Taking care of your mind starts with taking care of your body. Regular exercise isn’t just about physical health—it’s one of the most powerful tools for improving your mood, reducing anxiety, and managing stress.

You don’t have to go all-out every day. A short walk, a light stretch, a dance break—consistency is key. Move your body a little each day, and your mind will thank you.

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s move for our mental health.


Join us in walking or running 31 5ks in May. Follow the link for more info.

Happy Fact Checking Day? Who knew?

The following is from an email we received this morning:
April Fools’ Day is a time when dubious pranksters run rampant, so it’s wise to be a little more skeptical of everything you see and hear on April 1. But when the clock strikes midnight and the calendar flips over to April 2, we celebrate the polar opposite of trickery and deception: International Fact-Checking Day. This global initiative is spearheaded by the Poynter Institute’s International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) — a community established in 2015 to fight misinformation and promote factual integrity. IFCN works with more than 170 fact-checking organizations to encourage truth-based public discourse, debunk myths, and ensure journalistic accountability.
