🌸 Spring is here… and so are the ticks!

April 4, 2026

We love everything about this time of year—longer days, sunshine, fresh air—but it also means it’s time to be a little more mindful when spending time outdoors 🌿

⚠️ Tick Tips to Stay Safe:

✔️ Wear light-colored clothing so ticks are easier to spot

✔️ Use insect repellent when hiking or in tall grass

✔️ Do full body checks after being outside (don’t forget behind ears & knees!)

✔️ Shower soon after outdoor activities

Ticks can carry illnesses like Lyme disease,so early removal and awareness are key!

💙 If you notice a bite, rash, or start feeling unwell after a tick exposure—don’t wait. We’re here to help evaluate and treat when needed.

🌼 Enjoy the beauty of spring—just stay safe while doing it!

If you are having trouble logging in and/or know you will be late, please call or text the office at 606-225-4443 to let the provider know and see how they can assist you.

4. As a courtesy, you will receive an appointment reminder call/text/email one day prior to your appointment. Please note, if a courtesy reminder is not received, the cancellation policy remains in effect. The reminder is a courtesy, not a condition to the cancellation policy.
