As everyone settles into a new school routine, it's easy for healthy habits to take a back seat. A few simple routines can help your whole family stay healthy, focused, and energized throughout the school year.

💤 Prioritize sleep
• Ages 6–12: 9–12 hours each night
• Ages 13–18: 8–10 hours
• Adults: At least 7 hours

💧 Stay hydrated
Encourage kids to carry a reusable water bottle and drink water throughout the day. Even mild dehydration can affect focus, energy, and mood.

🍎 Start the day with breakfast
A balanced breakfast that includes protein and fiber can help improve concentration and provide lasting energy for the school day.

🚶 Make time to move
Children and teens should aim for at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Adults should strive for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.

🧠 Check in on mental health
New schedules, teachers, and responsibilities can be stressful. Keep an eye out for changes in sleep, mood, appetite, or behavior, and create opportunities for open conversations.

Healthy habits matter, and at Welcome Health, having a primary care provider who truly knows you makes them even easier to maintain. Whether you need guidance, have a health concern, or it's time for your annual wellness visit, we're here for you.

💧 Feeling tired, getting headaches, or having trouble concentrating this summer? It could be dehydration.

Staying hydrated does more than quench your thirst. Water helps regulate body temperature, supports your heart, brain, kidneys, digestion, joints, and even the discs in your spine.

With Georgia's summer heat in full swing, now is the perfect time to make hydration a daily priority.

Our latest blog covers:
✅ How much water you really need
✅ Common signs of dehydration
✅ When electrolytes are helpful
✅ Easy ways to stay hydrated all summer long

Last week, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our new Welcome Health office! ✂️🎉

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. Guests toured the renovated office, met and spoke with our staff and providers, learned more about our healthcare model, and explored enhanced features of the new space—including our in-house pharmacy with a separate entrance for added convenience.

A special thank you to the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce and Columbia County GA Chamber of Commerce for helping us commemorate this exciting milestone. We look forward to serving the CSRA from our new home for years to come! 💙
