Today, our team had the privilege of spending the morning at Union County High School for Career Day, and it was one of those moments that makes you feel proud of where we live and confident in the future.

We met inspired students already exploring careers in healthcare, including nursing, physicians, radiology, therapy, lab, neurology, EMS, imaging, pharmacy, respiratory care, surgical services, nutrition, behavioral health, administration, veterinary, and so much more.

Students were full of curiosity, and we loved their questions:
• I faint at the sight of blood. Do I still have a future in healthcare?
• How often do people come in because Google scared them?
• What does a day in the ER really look like, and do you ever get a quiet day?
• Needles freak me out. What are good options that don’t involve them?
• How hard is nursing school, for real?
• I love helping people, but math hates me. What are my options?

Those questions matter. These students are curious, learning, and growing into the kind of citizens who will strengthen the world wherever they go, starting right here in Union County.

To the parents, teachers, and local businesses supporting the event today, thank you for helping these students grow into confident, capable young adults. And to every student who stopped by, keep asking questions, keep learning, and keep dreaming big. We’re al cheering you on, and we cannot wait to see the amazing things you’ll do. The future is in good hands. 💜💛🐯

💙 Healthy Kids. Healthy Families. Healthy Community. Flu season is here, and with school, sports, and busy schedules, the simplest habits do the most:
• Wash hands often
• Prioritize sleep
• Drink water throughout the day
• Build meals with fruits and veggies, plus protein
• Stay home when sick
• Keep up with well visits and routine checkups

Not sure if it’s a cold, the flu, or something else? Give us a call, especially for high fever, trouble breathing, dehydration, or symptoms that are getting worse instead of better.

We offer Same Day Visits, Walk-ins, and Telehealth (virtual visits from home).
We’re here to help. (386) 496-1922 | LakeButlerClinic.com

🩸 National Phlebotomists Recognition Week | February 9–13, 2026 This week, Lake Butler Hospital is celebrating phlebotomists - the friendly, steady-handed pros whose blood draws make the test results that guide diagnosis, treatment, and peace of mind possible.

Special shout-out to our very own April Cuchens! April, your professionalism, kindness, gentle touch, and steady consistency set the standard… and you’re also the reason people say, “Wait… you’re already done?!” 😄 If you’ve ever had your blood drawn by April, you know the vibe: fun conversation, quick work, and somehow you didn’t even feel the needle. In a moment that can feel a little nerve-wracking, April makes patients feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for.

Your precision makes answers possible. Your compassion makes people feel safe. Thank you for taking such great care of our community. 💙

👇 Leave a thank-you for April below, for helping make answers possible and making it feel easy. 💙🩸

👢✨ Boots, Bling, Blessings, and a Whole Lot of Heart
Last night, the Lake Butler Hospital team traded scrubs for boots and bling at the Promised Land Family Ministries Celebration Dinner at Pine Grove Barn. It was the kind of night that reminds you what makes Union County special.

Promised Land Family Ministries (PLFM) is on the front lines of strengthening Union County: a food pantry that helps neighbors get through tough weeks, community health days that provide free resources and care, hands-on programs like apiary and hydroponics farming that build skills and sustainability, cooking classes, and youth programs that give kids a safe, faith-based place to grow.

Event highlights:
• The Heart: Stories of hope and progress happening right here in our community
• The Food: Hills BBQ brought the flavor with an incredible dinner
• The Fun: Laughs were free. That cake auction was not. Union County doesn’t play about dessert. 🍰😄
• The Connection: Familiar faces, shared purpose, and a community showing up for one another.

Now your turn: Drop a ❤️ for PLFM, tag a friend who’d love a night like this, and if you attended, post your favorite photos in the comments. 📸👇

🚧 Progress Update: Parking Improvements Underway at our Clinic and Business Office Building 🚧 Today’s the 3rd, and the front parking upgrades are moving quickly. Why this matters for patients and families:
✅ Safer, smoother arrival (more level ground, fewer trip hazards)
✅ Easier walk to the front doors
✅ Better access for strollers, wheelchairs, and mobility needs

Reminders while we finish:
• In-person visits paused; Telehealth still available.
• Medical Records: Park on side lot; enter main entrance.
• Normal visits and parking return on the afternoon of Wednesday, Feb 4.

Thank you for your patience while we improve access for everyone. 💙

Special thanks to Welch & Son Land Development Inc. for their hard work and fast progress, and for helping us make these upgrades safely and efficiently for our patients and community.

Last week, hospital leaders from across Florida met at the Florida Capitol through the Florida Hospital Association to speak up for patients and rural communities like ours. For Lake Butler and our surrounding communities, this matters because it helps protect what you count on most: local care close to home.

When hospitals advocate together, it supports real needs like:
• keeping emergency care strong in rural areas
• protecting access to specialists, testing, and services
• supporting staff recruitment and retention
• strengthening readiness for storms, outages, and emergencies

We’re proud of Angela St. John and Cynthia Coulter for representing Lake Butler Hospital in Tallahassee, helping ensure our community continues to get the care it deserves, today and for the future.

If you’ve ever been thankful to have care nearby, this is part of how we protect it.
