A common mental health misconception is that people struggling with mental health issues need to try harder to "snap out of it." There are many factors that contribute to mental health conditions, such as:

• Biological factors like genes, brain chemistry, injury and more.
• Life experiences.
• Family history of mental health conditions.

If you struggle with a mental health condition, you are not alone. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call the national su***de and crisis lifeline at 988.

The Heart of a Champion program was held at three local high schools: West Caldwell, Hibriten and South Caldwell. We partnered with Caldwell County Emergency Management Services (EMS) who provided 439 EKGs for student athletes. These EKGs will be read by a UNC Heart & Vascular cardiologist.
Also, UNC Ortho and UNC Health Caldwell providers helped conduct 494 sports physicals for middle and high school student athletes.

HUGE thanks to Caldwell County Schools, Caldwell County Emergency Services and Blue Ridge Energy for making this event possible! We would also like to thank our amazing athletic trainers and medical providers!

Another Crawdads baseball season is officially underway, and we are proud to be entering our fourth season as sponsors of the Hickory Crawdads Baseball Club. Our team loves serving in the first aid room during games to help keep fans safe while supporting the team. One of our favorite traditions each season is checking in on Malachi, the son of our first aid team members Courtney and Erik. Malachi attended his very first Crawdads game before he was even one year old, and now he is almost 4 years old and still cheering on the Crawdads alongside his parents each season. We know this season has started with some unexpected challenges following the clubhouse fire and time away from home, but we cannot wait to welcome the Crawdads back to Hickory and cheer them on at L.P. Frans Stadium once again.

We were honored to be a Gold Sponsor for the 2026 Celebration of Life event hosted by Caldwell County Department of Social Services last Friday. It was a wonderful day filled with fun, fellowship and music for some incredible people. Our very own Keegan Matheson had the honor of serving as emcee. Thank you to everyone who made the event so special.
