It can seem like teens are glued to their cellphones. They keep us connected with our teens, especially during the schoolyear, when the family is heading different directions everyday. But they can also have a negative impact on their mental health. More screen time and social media use can lead to an increase in depression, negative body image, poor-quality sleep and stress. If you’re wondering how to help your teen set healthy boundaries with screens, visit ahlink.org/3OpWFIT for tips.

Uncover the impact of screen time on teen mental health. Learn about depression, anxiety and setting healthy boundaries for a balanced digital lifestyle.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, most often in the leg, and it can become life-threatening if the clot travels to the lungs. Rapid diagnosis and treatment save lives. That's why our new outpatient VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) program at the Visalia Medical Clinic brings lab tests, imaging, the Anticoagulation and Thrombosis Service, and pharmacy together under one roof, making it easier, faster, and more affordable for patients to get the care they need. And when combined with caring healthcare professionals like Andrea Van Beek, DNP, patients can count on compassionate, skilled care every step of the way.

There are two key types of genetic testing in cancer care. One analyzes a patient’s DNA to identify inherited mutations that may increase cancer risk. The other examines the tumor’s DNA to help tailor treatment to its specific genetic profile. Both tests are typically completed within a few weeks just using saliva or blood samples. Learn more about genetic testing at ahlink.org/4nQ3Iug.

A social worker with Adventist Health, Ann brought her trademark strength and optimism to her cancer diagnosis. Although breast cancer is part of her story, it does not define who she is. She is a sister, a wife, a mother of two — and she is more than breast cancer.

Ann took action when she felt a lump in her right breast. You can take control of your health too. Visit AdventistHealth.org/BreastHealth to schedule a mammogram today.
