“The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.” — Psalm 145:8 (KJV)
God’s character is marked by compassion and patience, especially toward those who are hurting or weary. His mercy meets us in moments of weakness and failure. As recipients of His grace, we are called to reflect that same compassion to others. This truth shapes how we speak, act, and serve throughout the day.
Lord, fill our hearts with Your compassion and mercy today. Help us extend kindness to every patient, family member, and coworker. In Jesus Name We Pray Amen

📘 A colonoscopy may not be your favorite appointment, but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to protect your health. Colon cancer is highly treatable when caught early — but early stages often have no symptoms at all. A routine test can give you peace of mind and help protect your health for years to come.
💙 Starting at age 45, make colon cancer screening part of your wellness routine.
📅 Call us to get your screening on the calendar.
For more information on how to schedule your colonoscopy, visit www.arh.org/colo.

ARH provides colonoscopies at various locations. If you are 45 or older with a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, schedule your colonoscopy today!

Verse: “The LORD is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” — Psalm 91:2 (KJV)
God offers Himself as a refuge when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. In moments of fear or fatigue, He remains a safe and steady shelter. Trust grows as we remember that His protection is constant and faithful. Even in difficult circumstances, our confidence rests securely in Him.
Lord, be our refuge and strength as we begin this day. Help us trust You fully as we care for one another. In Jesus Name We Pray Amen

Public Health Alert: Deadly New Synthetic Opioid Detected in Kentucky

ARH is warning our communities about cychlorphine, a dangerous synthetic opioid recently identified in Kentucky.
This substance—already linked to overdose deaths in neighboring states—is approximately 10 times stronger than fentanyl, making even tiny amounts potentially lethal.
Cychlorphine is often mixed into other illicit drugs without the user’s knowledge, increasing the risk of sudden, severe overdose.

What You Need to Know
• Extremely potent synthetic opioid.
• Recently detected in Kentucky and expected to spread rapidly.
• Often mixed with other substances — users may not know they’re taking it.
• Naloxone (Narcan®) may only partially reverse an overdose — but it can still save lives.

If You Suspect an Overdose
✔ Call 911 immediately
✔ Give naloxone if available
✔ Stay with the person until help arrives

ARH encourages everyone—individuals, families, and community members—to carry naloxone whenever possible. The ingredients of drugs sold illicitly are ever changing, and being prepared can save lives.
