Bolivar Medical Center

November is COPD Awareness Month – a time to recognize the millions living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and the challenges they face every day. COPD may be a short name, but its impact is anything but small. If you’ve been diagnosed, regular visits with your primary care provider or a pulmonologist are key to managing your condition. And if you’re experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing – don’t wait. Early diagnosis can make a big difference. Need help finding a provider? Visit https://lnkd.in/gG7R3uaR to get started. Let’s spread awareness, support those affected, and breathe easier together.

November is American Diabetes Month, an occasion that reminds us of the prevalence of the disease in this country due to factors such as obesity, unhealthy eating, genetics, and lack of physical activity. If you are concerned that you or a loved one may have diabetes, visit https://lnkd.in/gWZKhtqe to take a diabetes health risk assessment. It’s free, quick, and might ensure you get the care you need.

You spend a lot up front for health insurance, and if health needs arise, you pay even more for services. If you happen to spend enough to reach your deductible limit, there is a silver lining – between now and the end of the year, you can get a variety of free or low-cost services, mostly paid for by your insurer. It could be a routine screening or a procedure you’ve been considering. Visit https://lnkd.in/gK8Qp_gZ or call us at 662-846-2227 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

October 19-25 is National Healthcare Quality Week, a perfect time to recognize the incredible teams working behind the scenes to make sure every patient receives safe, effective, and compassionate care. At Bolivar Medical Center, quality isn’t just a goal – it’s our standard. From reducing infection risks to improving patient experiences, we’re proud to deliver care that meets the highest benchmarks across every department. Here’s to the nurses, doctors, techs, and support staff who make healthcare better every day!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those affected and remind women of the power of early detection. Self-exams and annual mammograms (recommended for women 40+) can save lives and reduce recovery time. Bolivar Medical Center is here to support your breast health every step of the way. Visit https://lnkd.in/gJVSTCWT to take a risk assessment, schedule a mammogram, or find a provider.

Flu season is around the corner and Bolivar Medical Center recommends you get the annual flu vaccine. While we love caring for you, we’d much rather have you visit for a preventive shot than get admitted to our hospital sick and weakened with influenza. Schedule your flu shot appointment with your primary care provider (PCP). If you don’t have a PCP, find one by visiting https://lnkd.in/e85SrkYJ.

National Cholesterol Education Month each September reminds us that 1) high cholesterol increases your risk of heart disease and heart attacks; 2) it is important to know your cholesterol levels; and 3) if your cholesterol is high, take the healthy steps necessary to lower it. You can read more about it below or get the scoop from one of our primary care providers. Find one today by visiting https://lnkd.in/gJTUzD7R.

September 15-21 is National Rehabilitation Awareness Week. If you’ve been putting off rehabilitation from an injury or illness, why not use this week as a reminder to schedule an appointment with Bolivar’s rehabilitation services team? We can get you back to living more independently and doing the things you like to do. Visit https://lnkd.in/dYxkZcuN or call 662-846-2283 to schedule your appointment today.
