Not all cholesterol is bad. Do you know the difference between "good" and "bad" cholesterol? The American Heart Association reports 73.5 million American adults have high LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Fewer than 1 out of every 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.

The good news high cholesterol can be prevented. With a simple fasting blood test, the problem can be identified and treatment options can be implemented.

Our providers can help. Schedule an appointment today to get your cholesterol checked.

Check Your Vaccines This Month

The sun is great for our mood and vitamin D, but too much UV exposure can lead to serious skin damage, premature aging and possibly even skin cancer.

Stay sun-safe this summer:
-Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily (even on cloudy days), a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses
-Avoid peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM) when you can
-Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or right after swimming/sweating

Skin checks are just as important! If you notice a mole or spot that’s new, changing, or just looks different, don’t wait. Schedule a skin exam with us.
