At Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids, we believe healthcare goes beyond the walls of our office. Good health starts with education, and sometimes the best way to learn is right where you are, whether that’s at work, your church, or a community group.

So this season, instead of just watching from the sidelines, take […]
