We love to looking back at the doctors who have earned their board certification in family medicine through our residency program. Many of them have gone on to build their own practices. Some have joined our excellent faculty. All are cherished!

We’re throwin’ it back today, remembering the times when our residents, staff, and faculty took a break to enjoy some local competitive sports—rocking team names like the Flounders and the Scrubs.

We say… GO TEAM! 🎉🏆

One simple thing you can do today to be healthier tomorrow:
Pick just one small habit and do it on purpose. Small, consistent wins add up fast.
Here’s a quick self-check using the basics of good health:
Exercise: Are you moving your body a little each day—even a 10–15 minute walk?
Strength: Staying active in short bursts
Deficit: Sitting too long without breaks

Nutrition: Are most meals fueling you, not just filling you?
Strength: Balanced meals when you plan ahead
Deficit: Skipping meals or grabbing convenience foods when busy

Hydration: Are you drinking water throughout the day, not just when you’re thirsty?
Strength: Starting the day with water
Deficit: Forgetting to drink once the day gets hectic

Sleep (7–9 hours): Are you protecting your sleep like it matters? Because it does.
Strength: Consistent wake-up time
Deficit: Staying up too late scrolling or working

✨ Try this today:
Choose one area where you’re a little short and make a tiny upgrade—go to bed 30 minutes earlier, add one glass of water, take a quick walk, or add a fruit or veggie to one meal.
What’s the one thing you’ll do today?
