Medicare Advantage plans deny care more often than Traditional Medicare and prior authorization requirements can negatively impact patient care by delaying necessary treatment. Reimbursement payments from Medicare Advantage plans are significantly less than those from Traditional Medicare for the same services and 94% of Nebraska hospitals say the shift to Medicare Advantage has negatively impacted their financial position. And yet, this year alone the federal government is projected to spend $76 billion more to cover Medicare Advantage enrollees than it would have if these beneficiaries were enrolled in Traditional Medicare.

🏡 National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week | October 25–31, 2026

Protecting our children from lead exposure starts with simple steps at home! 💛

Lead poisoning can affect a child’s growth, learning, and development, but prevention is possible. This National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department encourages families to take steps to reduce the risk of lead exposure.

✅ Use cold water for drinking and preparing baby formula.
✅ Let tap water run for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using it for drinking.
✅ Wash children’s hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys regularly.
✅ Wet-mop floors, windowsills, and other surfaces to help control dust.
✅ Check for peeling or deteriorating paint, especially in older homes.
✅ Ask your child’s doctor about lead testing, even if your child appears healthy.

💛 Small steps today can help protect your child’s health for a lifetime!

For more information about lead poisoning prevention, contact Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department.

💊 Happy Pharmacy Week! 💙
Ever looked at a medication name and wondered if you need a doctor’s degree just to pronounce it?
Thankfully, our pharmacists know their medications inside and out!
But their expertise goes far beyond knowing how to say those tricky drug names. From ensuring medications are safe and effective to answering questions and helping patients get the best possible care, our pharmacists play an important role in keeping our community healthy.
This Pharmacy Week, we’re celebrating our pharmacy team for their knowledge, dedication, problem-solving skills, and compassion. Thank you for all you do for our patients and our community! 🩺💙
