Staying active and independent is an important part of healthy aging. Physical therapy can help older adults improve strength, balance and mobility, making it easier to safely manage daily activities.

Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants support people at every stage of life, including recovery from illness, injury or surgery. This month, we recognize and thank them for helping to keep our communities moving!

Breast cancer can affect anyone, though most cases are diagnosed in women ages 50 and above.
Early detection can save lives. Mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early, often before it can be felt or causes symptoms.
Taking these steps can also help lower risk:
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Stay physically active
• Talk with your healthcare provider about screenings

In the wake of the landfall of Tropical Storm #Edouard, and the heavy rainfall that is following, we wanted to share the following information.

With the increasing number of natural disasters, it's vital to discuss family and community disaster planning before tragedy hits. Preparing to support vulnerable populations with medical needs is especially vital. The Emergency Preparedness Rule from @CMSGov requires facilities to establish consistent emergency preparedness policies and procedures in order to increase patient safety during emergencies.

National Wellness Month is a great reminder to check in on your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Focus on healthy habits like getting enough sleep, staying physically active, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and taking time to manage stress. If making several changes feels overwhelming, start with adopting one healthy habit at a time. Small, consistent steps can have a lasting impact on your overall health.

Vaccinations help to protect people of all ages from serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases. Older adults are at greater risk for complications from illness such as flu, COVID-19 and RSV, and immunity from some vaccines can decrease over time. Speak with your healthcare provider to make sure that you're up to date on vaccines recommended for you. Learn more at https://t.co/p1rQTUbvMx

This is the perfect time to prioritize your eye health. Regular comprehensive eye exams can detect early signs of eye disease and other related health conditions, helping to protect your vision before problems become more serious.
Most adults should have routine eye exams based on their age and risk factors, as recommended by an ophthalmologist. A healthy diet rich in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids also supports long-term eye health. Schedule an eye exam today to help protect your vision for years to come.
