Meet Melissa, a certified nurse practitioner at our San Antonio clinics! She brings more than 25 years of experience and approaches medicine with a deep respect for every individual in her care.

Melissa earned her PhD and MSN degrees from the University of Texas at Arlington. Holistic, relationship-based care is important to her, and informs her approach to helping older adults manage chronic conditions and achieve sustainable lifestyle improvements.

When she’s not at the clinic, Melissa can be found in her garden, spending time with family, or engaging with the community.

An anti-inflammatory diet isn’t about restriction, it’s about nourishment.

Chronic inflammation is linked to many conditions that affect seniors, including joint pain, heart disease, memory loss, and type 2 diabetes. The good news? The right foods can make a big difference in how you feel every day.

Eating an anti-inflammatory diet can help:
✔️ Improve joint mobility and reduce pain
✔️ Boost brain health and memory
✔️ Support heart health and lower cholesterol
✔️ Stabilize blood sugar
✔️ Enhance energy, mood, and sleep

Think colorful fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, whole grains, nuts, and herbs like turmeric and ginger.

🥦 Learn more about what an anti-inflammatory diet looks like (plus a sample day of meals) in our latest blog from Dr. Moran: https://flagshiphealth.org/resources/blog/reducing-inflammation-through-food-simple-steps-for-seniors/

Learn how seniors can reduce chronic inflammation with simple, evidence‑based dietary steps — including anti‑inflammatory foods like berries, leafy greens, fatty fish, olive oil, whole grains, and spices such as turmeric and ginger — plus practical meal tips.

💉 August is National Immunization Awareness Month—a great time to check in with your care team and make a plan to stay current on vaccinations.

Being proactive with your health means staying ahead of illness, not waiting for them to slow you down.

Some vaccines are recommended regularly, while others offer longer-term protection:

🧡 Flu shot and updated COVID-19 boosters – recommended annually.
🧡 Shingles (Shingrix), pneumonia (Prevnar 20), and RSV vaccines – typically needed once or twice for long-lasting protection.
🧡 Tdap/Td vaccine – protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough); boosters are typically needed every 10 years.
🧡 Tetanus booster and others – may be recommended based on your health history, travel plans, or chronic conditions.

Not sure where to start? Dr. Moran breaks it all down on our blog:
