World Health Day is a call to action and a reminder that good health starts with daily habits, education, and prevention. It’s a great time to check in on your own health, encourage healthy habits, and care for ourselves and one another—because small steps can make a big difference!

After 43 years of financial leadership, Susan Miller will be closing her Excel spreadsheets one last time at FAMC. Susan has been a trusted teammate, dedicated leader, careful steward, and true friend to the organization and to so many colleagues. Throughout her career, she has not only witnessed but helped guide FAMC through both the challenges and the successes that have shaped who we are today.

Susan, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Administration, thank you for your years of service, commitment, and leadership. You will be truly missed. Enjoy your retirement!

We will be closing at 12:00 p.m. today, Friday April 3rd!

Here’s what’s happening at FAMC this week⤵

Our team is working hard to move the laboratory to a temporary space. This will allow us to expand our current lab space through renovation. Same great team – just a new spot!

We’re proud to see continued growth in our rural hospital!

FAMC staff had a great time at the school Health Fair! Our team loved speaking with students about their specialized departments, using hands‑on tools, interactive displays, and demonstrations to highlight the important work they do.

Thank you to Mady and Emma from the local FCCLA chapter for inviting us to be a part of this amazing project!

In honor of National Nutrition Month, let's chat about something that rarely makes the headlines.

Not protein.
Not fiber.
Not added sugar.
Connection.

Research consistently shows that regular family meals are associated with:
✅Better dietary quality
✅Lower risk of disordered eating
✅Stronger emotional health
✅Higher self-esteem

But here's what matters most: It's not just the presence of food on the table; it's the presence of safety.

What Kids Actually Absorb at Mealtime

Children remember:
✅Your tone.
✅Whether they felt pressured or trusted.
✅Whether the table felt calm or tense.
✅Whether their body was respected.
✅They rarely remember the vegetable.

When a child feels safe, their nervous system relaxes.
When the nervous system relaxes, they're more open to food, and appetite regulation may improve.

Connection supports nutrition at a biological level.
That's powerful.

Try This: Connection Before Correction

At one meal each day this week:
✅Avoid commenting on how much your child eats.
✅Avoid calling foods “good” or “bad.”
✅Ask one open-ended question unrelated to food, like What made you happy today?

The goal isn't perfect eating; the goal is emotional safety.
