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. đź’—
If your child is due for their annual Well Child Exam, we may be able to complete their sports physical at the same visit! If a separate sports physical is needed: ✔️ $45 (not billed to insurance) ✔️ Payment due at the time of service ✔️ Immunizations are not included 📋 Don’t forget to bring your school sports form!
Did you know that our bodies make these today but many times need the additional support. Think of peptides as tiny messengers that tell your body to perform certain natural functions.
