Vaccinations
Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools we have to protect ourselves and our communities from serious diseases. By helping the body build natural defenses, vaccines prevent illness, reduce the spread of infection, and save lives.
They’re a simple yet critical step in keeping everyone — from infants to older adults — healthy and safe. Staying up to date on recommended vaccines helps protect not only you but also those around you, especially the most vulnerable.
For more information on vaccinations, feel free to reach out to your Primary Care Provider, or visit your local pharmacy.

Grief
Everyone's experience of grief is unique. Recognizing the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that may arise during this time can reassure you that you are not alone.
Grief is the process of coping with loss and can accompany any event that disrupts or challenges our sense of normalcy or self. There are various ways to help cope with grief.
Talking to friends and family, joining support groups, engaging in physical activity, practicing mindfulness, and finding creative outlets can all provide comfort and support. If you are struggling to cope with loss, please reach out to your Primary Care Provider to discuss your options. To better understand the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of grief, explore tools for individuals and families.
