World AIDS Day
Since 1988, this global movement has brought people together to honor those affected by HIV/AIDS and to continue the fight against stigma.

At KU Wichita Midtown Clinic, we are committed to providing confidential HIV testing, treatment, and prevention services like PrEP and PEP. Your health matters — today and every day.

Holidays can be tricky when you're working on lifestyle changes, but according to our Registered Dietician, Susan Ashida-Anderson these tips can help you stay on track:
1. Eat a healthy breakfast and don’t skip meals to avoid overeating later.
2. Use a smaller plate and choose smaller portions of your favorites.
3. Eat slowly, savoring each bite, and stop when you're satisfied, not stuffed.
4. Drink water, unsweetened tea, or coffee to stay hydrated.
5. Fill up on veggies and fruit (skip the extra butter and sugar).
6. Get moving with a walk or a game after the meal.
7. Enjoy the holiday, relax, and remember, one meal won’t undo your hard work!
Happy Holidays! 🍗🥗🍓

🎃 Happy Halloween from KU Wichita Clinics! 👻

Halloween is a fun and festive time, but it’s also important to keep our little ghosts and goblins healthy and safe! Here are a few tips from our team to help make the night spook-tacular — and worry-free:
🧙‍♀️ Costume Safety:
Choose bright, reflective costumes or add glow sticks so trick-or-treaters can be seen after dark.
🍫 Smart Treating:
Enjoy sweets in moderation — try to balance candy with healthier snacks and plenty of water.
🚸 Trick-or-Treat Safety:
Stick to well-lit streets and use sidewalks when possible.
