Why do you need to get a flu vaccine every year?
First, flu viruses change, so the vaccine is updated to keep up with changing flu viruses. Second, your immune protection from the vaccine declines over time.
Stay protected and get vaccinated now! #FightFlu https://www.cdc.gov/flu

A doctor listens to a man’s lungs

Pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, needlessly affects millions of people worldwide each year. Pneumonia can often be prevented and can usually be treated. Lower your risk of pneumonia with vaccines and other healthy living practices

Do I really need antibiotics?

Antibiotics cure bacterial infections, but not viral infections such as:

  •    Colds or flu
  •    Most coughs and bronchitis
  •    Most sore throats
  •    Runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow or green





Taking antibiotics for viral infections:

  •    Will not cure the infection
  •    Will not keep other people from getting sick
  •    Will not make you feel better

What are the side effects to antibiotics?

Common side effects range from minor to very severe health problems and can include:
  •        Rash
  •    Dizziness           
  •    Nausea
  •    Diarrhea
  •    Yeast infections 
More serious side effects can include:
  •     Clostridium difficile (C-Diff) infection
  •     Severe and life-threatening allergic reactions

Integrating Behavioral Health
What is Behavioral Health?
Behavioral health describes a connection between Behaviors and Health. Our behaviors have an impact on our health, whether good or bad. The good news is that behaviors can be changed; we can learn new ways of behaving. Behavioral health includes intervention and prevention of mental illness and substance abuse or other addictions. Studies show that improved behavior health has a direct correlation to improved physical health.


Why?
Increased Motivation 
Empowerment of Wellness
Increased Adherence & Satisfaction
Decrease Adverse Side Effects
Rural Access to Treatment through Telehealth Services
