Heart disease and stroke are the first and fourth leading causes of death in the U.S. The Million Hearts initiative supports healthy lifestyle changes that can substantially reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Visit the website http://millionhearts.hhs.gov to take the pledge to prevent heart disease and stroke. Our office can support you in this pledge by helping you reduce your risk factors through smoking cessation, weight management, blood pressure control, and cholesterol management.

It is important for ALL women to have regular health checkups. If you or a loved one are without health insurance, please give our office a call to discuss your options. If you are over the age of 40, you might be eligible for a health checkup with our office using the state Every Woman Matters program. If you are under the age of 40, we might refer you to the local Family Planning Clinic. Both Dr. T and Kelley volunteer at Family Planning where you can receive health screening and contraceptive services at free or reduced rates. Tired of your current birth control method? Looking for something longer acting, reversible, or more convenient? We offer many different contraceptive options and would be happy to talk with you about the benefits/risks of each form of birth control available today. Many of todays options are almost as easy as the "gum" shown in the image on the left ;-) Give us a call today to find out if you've met your perfect contraceptive match!
