I just had the most incredible and unbelievable day marked by generosity that just blows my mind! I have been blessed beyond measure with kind and amazing patients.
But I had 4 different patients that offered incredibly generous things to help people in need, brought gifts, or gave of their time to support me and help me. Just today! It is humbling to be sure.
And I am so thankful to be in a position to connect people with resources and people with needs. And to just experience the gratitude people feel for the care they receive at our office. It takes all of us and I have a wonderful team that helps and supports me! Just had to share... ❤️

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in our practice! If you have cause to celebrate a wonderful mother in your life, or have the opportunity to be a mother, I wish you a fantastic day.
But I also want to acknowledge how hard this day is for a lot of people. For those who miss their mother, who wish they could be a mother, who have lost a child, or for whom your family situation is anything but ideal or something worth celebrating, we want to stand with you too. To step into the pain of some of the messiness and unfairness of life and to say it's okay. You are not alone. It is safe to share your struggles and to be seen and understood. We all hurt at times and struggle with identity. Even when things look picture perfect from the outside, they rarely are. Trust me when I tell you that I know.
But even in the hurt, there can still be beauty. Keep seeking understanding and connection. Let people in. Be real. Look to lighten the load for someone in need. When we bear each others' burdens, we ease our own. You matter and we stand with you.

I just want to highlight our amazing counselor, Kim Henry! She has been with us for over a year now, and I hear so many positive results from patients that have benefitted from meeting with her... From a grieving widow who has transformed into someone so vibrant and alive, it didn't seem like the same person, to a teenager who was excited and looking forward to her session with Kim last week, she is making a difference, and I am so thankful. She cares. That's why we love her. And we try to make counseling comfortable and relaxing, which means sitting out under the tree when the weather cooperates. Thanks Kim!!

I am SO glad to be a part of healthcare that does not benefit from people being "sick" and that doesn't have my hands tied to preach the current "agenda" in medicine. Everyday at my office we preach wellness through healthy food choices and exercise and supplements.
Type 2 Diabetes is preventable (and reversible). Many types of cancer are preventable. Alzheimer's, to some degree, may be preventable. We don't have to be a victim to obesity. We have to be smarter than what our culture preaches. And to think about it from the standpoint of "who benefits financially from our poor health as a society?" is staggering!
Don't be a victim. Make healthy choices... for you, and your kids. Teach healthy habits. Come talk to me to get started. YOU can take back your life and regain power over your health and your choices. Stop padding the pockets of big pharma and a food industry that has made us sick. Thankful for companies that partner with this agenda and get the word out. I agree with this powerful message and informative interview here. It's exciting to watch where HSA funds might go toward better health and wellness. Let us help get you started today! Jackie Hone MD
