Important Insurance Update

We’ve received many calls and questions regarding the recent news about UNC Blue Ridge no longer being in-network with Humana starting in 2026.

We want to reassure our patients that we are an independently owned practice and not affiliated with UNC Blue Ridge.

Our office will continue to be in-network with Humana, and you can still receive care here without any changes to your coverage.

If you have any questions about your insurance or upcoming appointments, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

🥱”Tired all the time? It might not just be stress — your iron levels could be to blame.”

👩‍⚕️ Most providers don’t frequently check iron (I do…duhhh). Here is why you should ⬇️ ⬇️

Iron and ferritin are essential for producing hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. When your levels are low, your body struggles to get the oxygen it needs, leading to fatigue, weakness, brain fog, and even hair loss. Left unchecked, iron deficiency can impact your heart, immune system, and overall quality of life. Regularly checking your iron and ferritin levels through a simple blood test can help detect issues early and keep your energy, focus, and health on track.
