Behind every skill we practice is a patient who might need it.

For the past few days, our Emergency Department team has been sharpening their skills during an ED Education Fair.

Why does that matter? It gives our team hands-on practice with critical skills so when seconds matter, we’re ready to act — helping patients get the right care, faster.

That readiness can make a real difference when it matters most.

Quick food safety reminder!

🌞 Still trying to enjoy the outdoors in this heat? Don’t forget to check for ticks.

August is still a time when ticks are active, especially in wooded and grassy areas.
After hiking, yard work, or playing outside, take a few minutes to check yourself, your kids, and your pets.

Those few minutes could help prevent tick-borne illness, including Lyme disease.

I tried the ScriptCenter last week for the first time, and honestly…game changer! 🙌

💊 I picked up my prescription in less than two minutes, just like advertised.

No waiting in line. No hanging around the pharmacy. Just scan, grab my meds, and go.

If you have a refill and your medication doesn’t require refrigeration or fall into the controlled-substance category, ScriptCenter can be a huge time-saver. 🕛

I tried it. It worked. And I’ll definitely be using it again.

🩸 You may never know the person who receives your blood. It could be a child, a parent, a Soldier, a neighbor, or someone facing an unexpected medical emergency.

But for that person and their family, your donation could mean more time, more hope, and another chance to heal. ❤️‍🩹

Blood can’t be manufactured. It only comes from people who give.

If you’re eligible, consider donating. It could help save a life.

💧 Your body needs water — every single day.

Staying hydrated helps your body do the things you probably don’t think twice about, from regulating temperature and supporting digestion to keeping your muscles and brain working their best.

🌞 And in the Texas heat? That water bottle is your best friend. 🥤

Sip often, drink up, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to hydrate!
