Reminder for next week as Thanksgiving is approaching: The office is closed on BOTH Thursday November 27 and Friday November 28. We hope EVERYONE enjoys the holiday and you have something to be thankful for, no matter how big or small it may be.

Another Reminder for 2026: January is our LAST month of Saturday appointments. We will be replacing Saturdays with some later week day appointments. Those days/times to follow in a separate post when we are completely decided on the days/times.

Until then, we appreciate ALL of our patients and how much they appreciate US! Rural, small town medicine is DEFINITELY where it’s at! Interacting with our community on a daily basis is more rewarding than everyone may realize!

Dr. Probst will be attending a medical conference from Wednesday November 5 through Saturday November 8. Someone will be in the office to answer phone calls, take payments and assist with anything else necessary.

Should you have a medical emergency, never delay care and call 911, or go to your NEAREST Emergency Department! 🚑 🏥

Update : Beginning January 1, 2026, we will no longer have Saturday hours. This was a hard decision to make, but our rate of no-shows on Saturdays was becoming overwhelmingly high. We are replacing those hours with some later hours during the week! Stay posted for the days and times that will be added!

If you have ANY questions, please call the office at:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you are uninsured or underinsured in Pennsylvania, there ARE resources to assist in obtaining a much needed mammogram! Please remember, men are ALSO at risk for breast cancer!

🎀



Screening mammograms are extremely important! They routinely begin at age 40, but make SURE you are always doing self breast exams. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate with age or s*x. Be vigilant and always check yourself, thoroughly! 🩷

Children are back to school and doing what they do best: SHARING! Germs that is 🦠

As we head into cold and flu season please keep one very important thing in mind: handwashing is one of the most benenficial and simple practices to assist in stopping the spread of germs. Encourage children to wash their hands, and wash them often. Encourage them to keep their hands away from their mouths, eyes and each other! We know they LOVE to share, but in this case, it’s ok to be selfish and keep those germs to yourself!
