As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible cardiovascular ❤️ care to the U.P. through our partnership with Emplify Health by Bellin we are honored to have several Yoopers as part of that cardiovascular care team.

You may recognize Dr. Kristofer Dosh, who is Gladstone native. As an Interventional Cardiologist, Dr. Dosh's specialty focuses on diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions through minimally invasive procedures, like stents.

Dr. Dosh is a lake lover and Lions fan that has a passion for building patient relationships. He previously practiced in the Marquette area for 12 years before joining the Bellin team in Green Bay a few years ago. Now, Dr. Dosh is excited to return to the U.P. to care for his neighbors, offering advanced, lifesaving care right here in our community.

🚨 Did you know that 1 in 20 Americans over age 50 has Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?
PAD occurs when arteries in your legs become narrowed by plaque buildup, reducing blood flow. Left untreated, it can increase the risk of:
✔️ Pain and cramping while walking
✔️ Poor wound healing
✔️ Heart attack and stroke

You may be at higher risk if you:
⚠️ Are over 50
⚠️ Smoke or used to smoke
⚠️ Have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
⚠️ Have a family history of vascular disease

👉 Early detection can make a big difference. Talk to your primary care provider if you have questions about your risk factors.

One overdose loss is one too many. Unfortunately, our community has seen more than that. Save lives❤️- carry Naloxone (Narcan).

Naloxone is a nasal spray that can be easily administered to someone during a suspected overdose of opioids, prescription medications, he**in, or fentanyl. The community now has free access to Naloxone at two OSF HealthCare locations:
📍The OSF St. Francis Hospital Emergency Department waiting room
📍The OSF St. Francis Medical Group clinic lobby

Learn how to easily administer Naloxone here: http://osf.care/Tvvl50WRsyZ

❌ Myth: “No one in my family uses opioids, so I don’t need Narcan.”
✅ Fact: Many overdoses happen accidentally, through prescribed medications or unexpected exposures. Having Narcan on hand is one more way to protect the people you love.

We cannot express enough gratitude to OPEN Michigan for approving our application for these distribution boxes. To learn more about the OPEN-Michigan organization, go to http://osf.care/MX6r50WRsyX

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, please contact our offices at (906) 789-4040 for support.

September is known for a lot of things like back-to-school 📚 and the kick-off to the Fall 🍂season. However, September is also PAD (peripheral artery disease) Awareness Month, affecting over 10 million people in the United States

PAD occurs when blood flow and oxygen to the muscles is hindered due to a buildup of plaque in the arteries. Symptoms can include leg pain, cramping, or fatigue while walking or climbing stairs. PAD can also cause wounds or ulcers on the legs or feet that do not heal or changes in skin color, temperature, or sensation. If left untreated, PAD can lead to gangrene, amputation, stroke or death.

If you experience persistent symptoms or have questions on your risk factors, contact your primary care provider contact our office at 906-233-4250 for an appointment or go to http://osf.care/7XUE50WMeiG
