๐ŸŒพ Today is National Rural Health Day โ€” a time to honor the resilience of rural communities and the healthcare professionals who serve them with dedication and heart.

Our teams at Lakeside Medical Center and the Belle Glade Community Health Center work every day to increase access to high-quality health care for families and residents in the Glades.

We set up our mobile clinic at a recent Glades Diabetes Awareness Month event. On board, our medical team provided screenings and offered healthy-living education. This is just one of many community events we support throughout the year.

Shoutout to Dr. Darnel Dabu, Assistant Family Medicine Residency Program Director and physician at our Belle Glade Community Health Center, and to our Family Medicine residents, who provided care at the event and who are dedicated to the health of those in our western, rural communities.

Rural health matters. And so do the people who make it possible. ๐Ÿค

Itโ€™s Wellness Wednesday โ€” and November is American Diabetes Month.๐Ÿ’™

More than 37 million Americans have diabetes, and 1 in 5 donโ€™t know they have it.

Early detection, healthy habits, and regular checkups can make all the difference.

Take charge of your health โ€” talk to your provider, know your numbers, and make small steps that lead to big results. If you need a provider, call 561-642-1000 to make an appointment at one of our community health centers.

Falls are the leading cause of traumatic injuries in Palm Beach County โ€” especially among older adults.

To help prevent these injuries before they happen, weโ€™re proud to launch a new Fall Prevention Clinic in partnership with the Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University.

Through our Falls Clinic, individuals who have experienced a fall or may be at risk can now meet with a board-certified geriatric physician for a one-time visit that includes:

โ€ข A physical exam
โ€ข A fall-risk assessment
โ€ข Guidance and treatment recommendations

The clinic is offered once a month at our Delray Beach Community Health Center, and thanks to grant funding, assessments are free of charge!

๐Ÿ“ž To schedule an appointment, call 561-642-1000, follow the prompts to reach the primary care clinic, and ask for the Falls Clinic.
