How to stay Valley Strong! 🚴‍♂️🚭

Dr. Flores shares his passion for keeping the RGV healthy, starting with two simple things: go for a walk or bike ride and avoid smoking.

Smoking remains one of the leading causes of preventable disease, and Dr. Flores is on a mission to change that.

Dr. Flores shows cigarette packs from around the world, each one marked with the devastating effects smoking has on your health.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to make a change, small steps can lead to a stronger, healthier you and RGV. ❤️

June is Men’s Mental Health Month and your heart is part of the conversation. 🧠❤️
Taking care of your mental health isn’t just good for your mind, it’s essential for your heart.

Simple habits like starting your day with mindfulness, moving your body, staying hydrated, taking screen breaks, and winding down with reflection can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and support overall heart health.

Men face unique pressures and are often less likely to talk about mental health, but prioritizing it could be the best thing you do for your well-being.

Your mind matters. Your heart does too.

Dr. Guillermo Salinas had the honor of speaking at the American Heart Association’s Rojo event in Brownsville, where over 300 women came together to learn about taking charge of their heart health. ❤️

Dr. Salinas focused on Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition that affects blood flow to the limbs and often goes undiagnosed, especially in women. Early signs like leg pain, cramping, or numbness shouldn’t be ignored.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and events like Vestido Rojo are powerful reminders of how education, awareness, and prevention can save lives.

We’re proud to stand with our community, our patients, and organizations like the AHA to help more women live stronger, longer lives.
