Congratulations to our DAISY Award winner, Rose Martin, a registered nurse here at East Jefferson General Hospital! 🌼

Her quick thinking and unwavering courage saved a man’s life after he suffered cardiac arrest at a local gym. The patient shared: "After checking and finding no pulse, she immediately began CPR and never stopped until EMS arrived. Her calm professionalism, skill, and compassion were nothing short of extraordinary. In those critical minutes, she became my guardian angel."

Rose exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate her incredible heroism. 💚

The start of a new year is a natural time to reset, and one of the most important steps you can take for your health is also one of the easiest to overlook: scheduling your annual wellness visit. Even if you feel healthy, routine checkups and preventive screenings can help identify health risks early, before symptoms appear, and set the foundation for long-term well-being.

In this blog, Dr. Amy Galiano, a family medicine physician at East Jefferson General Hospital, shares why primary care and annual wellness visits matter at every stage of life. From building long-term relationships with patients to customizing screenings and vaccinations based on age and individual risk factors, Dr. Galiano explains how preventive care helps patients stay proactive—not reactive—about their health.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating a busy schedule, or simply haven’t seen a primary care provider in a while, it’s never too late to start. A single visit can help you prioritize your health, plan ahead, and begin the year with confidence in your care.
