FYI for patients with Medicaid, I would try and pick up any medications needed before the weekend as the system will be down at the pharmacies starting at 6pm on Friday.

The Alabama Medicaid System will be down Friday, September 19 from 6:00 p.m. until Monday, September 22, 6:00 a.m.

The downtime may affect your pharmacy’s ability to fill or refill your child’s prescription. Be Prepared To:
Show your child’s Medicaid Card
Pay out-of-pocket with cash or card if needed
Only get 2-3 days of the medication

Reading to young children is an important way to help them build language skills. It exposes them to new words and ways of using language. It also helps them learn general information about the world, which makes it easier for them to learn about new subjects once they get to school.

Books also help children build empathy and learn how to handle challenging feelings. Parents can use reading time as a chance to talk about emotions and how to cope with them. For example, you might say: “Have you ever felt as angry as the girl in this book? What would you do if you did?”

Even a few minutes of reading together gives you and your child a chance to slow down and connect with each other. And the sensory experience of sitting with you and hearing your voice also engages their brain in a way that makes learning easier. Shout out to our sweet Karena, who read to her son’s class today. ❤️

Thanks for brining Joy today to us. It came at such a good time. Thanks to our sweet patients & North Russellville Baptist Church. One of the stickers said I am with you always. ❤️❤️❤️ There is a lot of hate in this world, but if you look around… there is a lot of good as well. It’s a good reminder that we are the hands and feet of Jesus.

Congrats to several of our patients, and our very own Andrea and Brandon’s son Jax, who played in the World Series recently. They were recognized at the Florence city hall meeting. ❤️❤️
