🎃 A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came out to celebrate Halloween with us! 👻

We hope you had just as much fun as we did! From the amazing costumes to the smiles, laughter, and opportunity to see and get to know everyone a little better, it was such a special time!

A special thank-you to the first responders who joined us and helped make the celebration even more memorable. We appreciate you taking the time to be part of our event and, most importantly, all you do for our community!

A big shoutout to our incredible team for all their hard work creating such festive decorations and bringing Halloween spirit to our patients and our community. You truly made it special!

AND NOW, THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR... OUR PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST WINNERS! 🏆

3rd Place: The Pumpkin Patient – OR Team

Congratulations to all of our winners! And a huge shoutout to every department that participated. The creativity was amazing, and the competition was fierce!

Providing quality care is always at the heart of what we do, but building meaningful connections beyond the walls of healthcare is just as important. Being present for our communities, sharing moments with our friends and families, and creating opportunities to come together remind us that healthcare is about people first. These are the moments that make what we do so rewarding and remind us that making a difference extends far beyond the care we provide each day.

Thank you to our team, patients, first responders, friends, families, and community for making this Halloween so special. We are grateful for each and every one of you!

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH!

Chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes are among the leading causes of death in the United States. They can also affect your physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and finances.

The good news? Small steps can make a big difference!

✅ Make healthy lifestyle choices
✅ Schedule regular checkups with your healthcare provider
✅ Know and manage your risk factors
✅ Talk with your primary care provider (P*P) about prevention and managing chronic conditions.

We know prevention isn't always easy, but you don't have to navigate it alone! Start the conversation at your next P*P visit and take a step toward a healthier future.

Labs, X-rays, and Diagnostic services are important when it comes to staying healthy. Medicare Advantage can cause a 3-day delay in receiving these services even if the in-network doctor ordered the procedure. This means you will have to wait 3 days until you receive the service or can be denied. Traditional Medicare allows your doctor the ability to discuss with you the needs of a diagnostic procedure.

Learn more here: https://bigbendhealthcare.com/medicare-education/

Traditional Medicare has open enrollment from now until December 7.
