🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans This Veterans Day

Today, as we take a moment to remember and honor the courageous men and women who have served our nation, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all veterans for your sacrifices and dedication. Your bravery and commitment to safeguarding our freedoms are deeply appreciated.

We are especially proud of one of our own at Pittsburg Internal Medicine, Nurse Practitioner Jessica Crager. Jessica is not only an exceptional healthcare provider, but she is also a proud Army veteran who has served our country with honor and integrity. Her military background instills an extraordinary level of dedication, compassion, and resilience in her patient care.

Jessica goes above and beyond for her patients, always taking the time to listen and understand their needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Her ability to combine her military discipline with a warm, caring approach creates a comforting environment where patients feel valued and heard.

On this day of reflection, let’s also acknowledge Jessica's service to our country, which has shaped her into the remarkable healthcare professional she is today. We are grateful to have her as an integral part of our team, serving our community with such passion and commitment.

🌟💜 **Together in Purple: Stand Against Domestic Violence** 💜🌟

Our team at Pittsburg Internal Medicine was donning purple to raise awareness. It’s a powerful reminder that we must stand together to support the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

We are proud to support the local Safehouse Crisis Center, an organization dedicated to providing vital support services to those in need. Safehouse offers a safe haven, counseling, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. Their tireless efforts empower survivors to find their voices, rebuild their lives, and reclaim their strength.

Remember, no one should have to endure abuse or fear in their own home. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, reach out for help. You are NOT alone.

Together, we can create a community that fosters understanding, support, and healing. Let’s keep raising our voices and spreading the word! 💜
