It’s National Health Center Week! Health Centers are a vital part of many communities and without them, quality care that is still affordable would not be available for everyone. This week is important to us because it gives us the opportunity to share what we’re all about and what we are able to offer you, the community.
Finding the positivity in each day can be tough. But seeking balance through positive thoughts can really help release negativity and enhance the positivity that your life has to offer - and life has to offer back.
Important healthcare coverage information for Medicaid members.
We know—most of us don’t like going to the dentist. But just because we don’t like it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it! And sometimes, getting our kiddos to the dentist can be a real struggle! Dental exams are vital for a dentist to detect any signs of tooth decay and cavities in a kid’s mouth. The more regularly they are checked, the less likely an issue will get out of hand and evolve into a larger problem.
This month is National Snacking Month and while we’re all about eating some cookies and potato chips, we know that a healthy snack is better for our body. So, while we can indulge occasionally in tasty, not-so-healthy snacks, we can also enjoy and savor some healthy snacks.
