A Quick Reminder that January is Cervical Health Awareness Month
It is important to start off the new year by trying to be the healthiest you that you can be.
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Did you know around 13,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,310 women pass away due to cervical cancer each year?
Regularly scheduled screenings save lives by catching potential issues early.
• We recommend that our female patients receive a Pap Smear Test every 3 years if they are between the ages 21-65.
• We also recommend that our female patients undergo an HPV test every 5 years if they are between the ages 30-65.
If you have yet to schedule your screening/s, you can schedule your appointment by calling your MedNOW clinic, or by visiting our website: MedNOW Portal

Alcohol use disorder continues to be a growing concern across the country. Millions of individuals are affected each year, and excessive alcohol use contributes to a significant number of preventable health issues and deaths in the United States. With April recognized as Alcohol Awareness Month, we want to take this opportunity to raise awareness and encourage reflection on how alcohol may impact your health, relationships, and overall well-being. While alcohol use is common, it’s important to recognize when it may be affecting your life or the lives of those around you. If you or a loved one may be struggling, please know that you are not alone. Our MedNOW providers are here to offer support, guidance, and treatment options tailored to your needs. We encourage you to reach out to your provider or contact your local MedNOW clinic to learn more about how we can help. There are effective treatment options available, including FDA-approved medications that can help reduce alcohol cravings. One commonly used option is Naltrexone, a once-daily medication that has been shown to decrease cravings with minimal side effects significantly. Additional prescription and over-the-counter options may also be appropriate depending on your individual situation. For more information about alcohol use and its effects, the CDC offers helpful resources. If you or someone you know needs immediate assistance, don't hesitate to get in touch with the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Hotline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). Thank you for prioritizing your health and well-being.
