🚑 Today is EMS Recognition Day as part of National EMS Week

🩺We want to recognize and thank the EMS professionals who serve our communities day and night. These individuals respond during emergencies, provide lifesaving care, and show compassion during some of the hardest moments people experience.

Many EMS professionals are also family members of our RVPCS team, and today we are proud to spotlight a few of those special connections.

🌟 Special Spotlight: Daniel Rosson
Daniel Rosson, husband of Peggy Rosson, APRN, at our Ratcliff clinic, has worked as a Paramedic for both Franklin and Johnson Counties since 2008. Before becoming a licensed Paramedic, he also worked as an EMT, dedicating years of service to helping those in need throughout our River Valley area communities.

Ashley shared:
“Everyone in EMS knows him and loves him! We can’t go anywhere without people recognizing him and wanting to talk to him. I tell him it’s like being married to a politician 😂 but even though he works so hard, he always has time for me and our five children! He’s an amazing paramedic but an even better husband and dad!”

Thank you to Daniel, Marshall, and ALL EMS professionals for the sacrifices you make and the care you provide every single day. Your dedication helps save lives and strengthen our communities. 🚑

🚨 HANTAVIRUS is making headlines right now, and it’s a good reminder that staying healthy starts with prevention.

Whether you’re traveling, camping, cleaning out storage spaces, or spending more time outdoors this season:

🧼 Practice safe cleaning habits
🐭 Avoid contact with rodent droppings or nesting areas
🌬️ Air out closed spaces before cleaning
🩺 Don’t ignore symptoms like fever, fatigue, or trouble breathing

Many illnesses can start with mild symptoms, which is why regular checkups and having a primary care provider matter year-round, not just when something feels serious.

Your health is worth staying proactive about. 🌿

🧠 May is Stroke Risk Awareness Month

A stroke can happen suddenly, often without warning signs people recognize ahead of time. That’s why understanding your risk and catching possible concerns early can make a major difference.

A Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is a quick, non-invasive outpatient test that helps evaluate blood flow in the brain and can assist in assessing stroke risk.

✔️ Safe
✔️ Effective
✔️ Diagnostic
✔️ No surgery or downtime

Early detection gives you the opportunity to take action before a medical emergency happens.

Know your risk. Take control of your health. 🩺

Today we recognize the people who keep healthcare moving, our nurses. 🩺📋

National Nurses Day traces back to the birthday of Florence Nightingale, whose work during the Crimean War helped shape modern nursing as we know it today. Her impact set the foundation for a profession built on both science and compassion.

Nurses are often the first to notice when something changes. They monitor patient status, coordinate care across teams 🤝, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks in fast-moving clinical environments 🏥.

They administer treatments 💉, track critical details 📊, educate patients and families, and provide steady support through both routine care and urgent situations ❤️‍🩹.

Their work is constant, detailed, and essential to every part of patient care.

Today is about recognizing that dedication, skill, and presence they bring.

Thank you to all nurses for what you do, every single day.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Clinical depression isn’t just a bad day or a rough week, it’s a condition that can affect how you think, feel, and function day to day.

Some common signs include:
😔 Feeling persistently sad, empty, or hopeless
😴 Sleeping too much or struggling to sleep at all
⚡ Low energy that doesn’t improve with rest
🍽️ Noticeable changes in appetite or weight
🧠 Trouble concentrating or making decisions
🚫 Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed

These symptoms can build over time, and many people try to push through them, but they’re important signals from your body and mind.

If you’re noticing these signs, it’s important to talk with your provider. Support is available, and we have a behavioral health team who can help you navigate what you’re experiencing and explore next steps. 🤝

You don’t have to ignore it, and you don’t have to handle it on your own. 💚
