Behind clean rooms, safe spaces and the comfort patients feel when they walk through our doors is a team whose work is often unseen — but absolutely essential.

This winter, we are recognizing the Environmental Services team as true unsung heroes. ❄️💙

Environmental Services professionals work around the clock to keep patient rooms, care areas and shared spaces sanitary and welcoming.

During the winter months, when hospitals are busier and illness is more widespread, their role becomes even more critical. Their work directly supports healing, infection prevention and the overall patient experience.

Thank you to the Environmental Services team for the care you provide every day and for helping create a safe, supportive environment for our community! 🤍

The first FDA-approved oral GLP-1 pill has officially hit the U.S. market, and there are no needles involved. ❌

Whether you prefer a daily pill or a weekly shot, GLP-1 therapy can support weight loss goals. It really comes down to what fits your lifestyle best.

The pill 💊
✨ No needles. No equipment. Just a daily routine
⏰ Must be taken on an empty stomach with a 30-minute wait before eating or drinking
🎯 Works best if you have a consistent morning routine

The shot 💉
🗓️ Once a week. Set it and forget it
⚡ Often associated with stronger results due to higher dosing
🧊 Requires refrigeration and some planning if you travel

Both options contain the same active ingredient. The biggest difference is how you take it and how well it fits into your day-to-day life.

If you’re exploring GLP-1s, a conversation with your doctor can help you decide what’s right for you, whether that’s medication, bariatric care or another weight management option. Taking control of your health is a brave first step. 💙

🚨 Flu cases are surging, and Influenza A (H3N2) is hitting harder this season. Symptoms can come on fast and feel more intense, but early care can make a difference.

If flu symptoms begin, reaching out to your primary care provider early is key. Antiviral medications may be recommended and are most effective when started within the first 48 hours. Your provider can help guide next steps and monitor symptoms based on your health history.

If symptoms worsen or you’re unable to reach your primary care provider, visiting urgent care can help ensure timely evaluation and treatment.

The ER should be used for severe symptoms such as a fever of 103°F or higher that doesn’t respond to medication, trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or signs of dehydration.

Knowing when and where to seek care matters. Staying informed helps protect your family and your community this flu season. Scroll to learn what to more of watch for and when to seek care. 💙
