Our Camp Scrubs high school campers got into some fun summer shenanigans this month 💕 They showed off their artistic Minion rock-painting skills, tried on lead aprons, learned about the importance of social work, and tested out their emergency skills. They had the opportunity to ask caregivers questions, get hands-on with demonstrations and make new friends.

Thank to our incredible students for spending the week with us! We are also grateful to our caregivers, partners and organizers who dedicated a portion their time to this camp. We are looking forward to seeing more familiar faces next year!

What’s the difference between preventive care and diagnostic care? 🩺

Preventive care helps you stay ahead of potential health problems through healthy habits, routine check-ups, vaccinations and recommended screenings. Diagnostic care comes into play when you have symptoms and your provider needs to determine what’s causing them.

Both play an important role in keeping you healthy. 💚 Knowing the difference can help you make informed decisions about your care and know when it’s time to check in with your provider.
