🎉 Big news for LifeDoc!

We were honored to receive the 2026 MPACT Award from this week at the University of Memphis, recognizing the impact of our healthcare programs in the fight against poverty in Memphis.

Thanks to the support of our donors and the dedication of our incredible team, LifeDoc’s poverty-fighting ROI increased from $2.70 to $3.15 for every $1 invested. With an $11M budget in 2025, that translated to nearly $35M in economic impact for our community.

We’re grateful for this recognition and even more motivated to keep expanding access to equitable healthcare across Memphis. 💙

Your heart works hard for you every single day, so this month is your reminder to show it a little extra love. ❤️
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., but the good news is that many risk factors are preventable through small, consistent habits.

✨ Ways to care for your heart this week:
• Move your body in a way that feels good
• Choose nourishing foods when you can
• Manage stress + prioritize rest
• Stay on top of regular checkups and screenings

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish- it’s essential.
Your future self (and your heart) will thank you.

Have you had your annual wellness visit yet? Let’s make prevention a priority.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but the good news is that many risk factors are preventable. Access to regular care, early screenings, and supportive resources can truly save lives- that’s why preventive care matters. ❤️

Heart health isn’t built in a day… it’s built through small, consistent choices. Whether it’s moving a little more, making healthier food swaps, managing stress, or scheduling your annual checkup, every step counts.

Ready to prioritize your heart this month?
📍LifeDoc is here to help- your heart will thank you. 💙

If you’re on a GLP-1 medication right now (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro), just a reminder: it’s an amazing tool, but the lifestyle habits you build alongside it matter so much. 💙

While taking GLP-1s, don’t forget to:
🥗 Eat balanced meals (protein is your best friend!)
💧 Stay hydrated
🏃‍♀️ Keep your body moving
✨ Focus on healthy routines that last

The goal isn’t just the medication… it’s feeling stronger, healthier, and supported long-term.

And the good news? You don’t have to do it alone. 🙌
Andres and our Lifedoc health coaches are here to help you with nutrition guidance, wellness goals, and staying on track during your journey.

February is Heart Health Month ❤️ This past Saturday, some of our providers and MAs became certified/ recertified in BLS. BLS (Basic Life Support) includes CPR, AED use, ventilation, and airway obstruction relief. We are so happy to kick off heart month the right way, and a special thank you to the American Red Cross for providing amazing instructors and opportunities to grow!
