Earth Day reminds us that caring for our planet is deeply connected to caring for ourselves. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat all come from the Earth. When we protect her, we’re also protecting our health. Clean air means healthier lungs, thriving nature brings peace to our minds, and nourishing soil gives us vibrant food to fuel our bodies. On Earth Day, let’s remember that a healthier planet leads to healthier people and that’s something truly worth celebrating.

As we head into this Easter weekend, all of us here at Family Physicians want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and healthy holiday. We’re so grateful for the trust you place in us to care for you, it’s truly an honor to be a part of your health journey. May this weekend bring you moments of rest, renewal, and connection with the people who mean the most. With heartfelt thanks and warmest wishes, Your friends at Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids.
