At its core, healthcare isn’t just about checkups with your doctor — it starts with a foundation of fresh air and water, nutritious food, and the security of a stable home. For our community to thrive, all of its members need access to these essentials.

Today, Dana distributed 200 bottles of laundry detergent to our neighbors in need, alongside Priscilla and Yvonne from Texas Medicare Solutions. Thank you West Avenue Compassion for allowing us to join you in uplifting the San Antonio community and its seniors! 🧡

Senior men: don’t wait until prostate symptoms become disruptive before seeking medical attention! If you have any of these symptoms, it may be time to talk to your doctor:

🔵 Difficulty starting or maintaining urination
🔵 Blood in your urine or semen
🔵 Discomfort in your lower back, hips, or pelvis
🔵 Painful ej*******on
🔵 Frequent urination at night

While not every symptom means something serious, none should be ignored. Reaching out early can help you stay ahead of any potential issues.

For men, being proactive about your prostate health can make a big difference—especially as you get older.

Even if you feel fine now, building healthy habits can help protect your body in the long run. Daily choices like eating well, staying active, and keeping up with checkups all play a role in lowering your risk of problems later.

Here are 5 habits you can start today:
✔️Eat more vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats (like olive oil and fish)
✔️Cut back on red and processed meats
✔️Get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week
✔️Don’t smoke, and limit alcohol
✔️Go to your yearly checkups and screenings

Taking action now can help you stay healthy—and give you peace of mind for the future.

As men age, it becomes more important to pay attention to prostate health. This small gland plays an important role in both urinary and sexual function. Over time, changes in the prostate can lead to a range of issues,from mild discomfort to more serious conditions like cancer.

Two of the most common prostate conditions are:

🔵 Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can make urination more difficult and disrupt sleep. It affects 7 out of 10 men in their 60s and 8 out of 10 men over 70.
🔵 Prostate cancer: An estimated 313,000 new cases are expected in 2025. About 60% will be diagnosed in men aged 65 and older.

While not all prostate problems are cancer, being informed and proactive is one of the best ways to protect your health.
