October is here, a month that brings cooler weather, changing leaves, and an important reminder of the strength found in community and health awareness. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this weekend marks the Especially for You® Race, a powerful event dedicated to supporting patients, survivors, and their families.
Some of our team will be walking alongside other fighters and survivors this year, showing our support and standing in solidarity with those whose journeys inspire us every day. It’s more than just a walk, it’s a celebration of hope, courage, and the importance of early detection and strong healthcare support.
As we look ahead to this weekend, we can’t help but reflect on our time at last year’s race. The energy, the stories shared, and the sea of pink reminded us how vital it is to come together, not only as a community but also as patients and providers united in the fight against breast cancer.
This October, we encourage everyone to take a moment to prioritize your health, schedule your screenings, and remember that prevention and early detection save lives.
We stand with all fighters, survivors, and families because no one walks this journey alone. 💗
With freezing temperatures moving into our area, we want to remind our patients to take extra precautions to stay safe and healthy during this cold snap. Frostbite & Cold Exposure • Limit time outdoors when temperatures drop below freezing. • Dress in layers and cover exposed skin, especially hands, feet, ears, and your face. • Watch for signs of frostbite such as numbness, tingling, pale or hard skin, and seek medical care if symptoms occur. • Avoid tight footwear or gloves that may reduce circulation. Prevent Slips & Falls • Use caution on icy sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots. • Wear shoes with good traction and take slow, careful steps. • Keep walkways clear of ice and snow when possible.

As snow and ice move in, we want to remind everyone to slow down, watch for slick spots, and take extra care when walking, driving, or shoveling. A fall on icy ground can happen in seconds, so sturdy shoes, small steps, and a little patience go a long way. Winter storms are also a good reminder of how important it is to take care of your overall health. Feeling stronger, lighter, and more confident in your body can make everyday moments, like navigating snowy sidewalks, feel a little easier. If improving your health is one of your goals this season, our weight loss injections may be a supportive option. We’re here to help you safely take steps toward feeling your best, inside and out. Stay warm, stay safe ❄️

Weight loss injections have become a powerful tool for patients who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. These medications work with your body to help control appetite, reduce cravings, and promote steady, sustainable weight loss. To help you decide if this option is right for you, we are offering a free two-week sample of Wegovy. This gives you the opportunity to experience how your body responds without pressure, commitment, or guesswork. For many of our patients, those first two weeks provide clarity, confidence, and real momentum. But we also know that medication works best when paired with proper nutritional support.
