🚑 Emergency Room vs. Primary Care 🩺

Knowing where to go for care can save you time and help ensure you get the right treatment.

🏥 Go to the Emergency Room (ER) for:
• Chest pain or pressure
• Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
• Signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty)
• Severe injuries, heavy bleeding, or major trauma
• Severe abdominal pain
• Loss of consciousness or seizures
• Fractures or sprains
• Cuts that may need stitches

👩‍⚕️ Go to Primary Care for:
• Routine checkups and preventive care
• Ongoing or chronic conditions
• Mild illnesses that aren’t improving
• Medication refills
• Flu-like symptoms without severe breathing issues
• Ear infections, sore throats, or sinus infections
• Minor burns or rashes
• Follow-up care

If you’re ever unsure, it’s always okay to seek emergency care or call ahead for guidance. Your health and safety come first.

🌟 Local Health Hero Spotlight 🌟

Meet Mendy Boldin, RN, Firefighter, and RPM Instructor at Health Actions. She is a true example of what it means to serve and support community health in more ways than one.

Mendy encourages others to focus on balance: eating healthy about 80% of the time, staying active, and exercising at least three times a week, even if that just means going for a walk. Her passion for helping others stay healthy goes beyond the gym and the hospital; it’s something she’s carried with her since she was a teenager, when she first dreamed of becoming a firefighter.

To Mendy, community health means educating and encouraging others to stay active, knowing that movement supports not only physical health, but emotional and mental well-being too.

Her message to our community is simple but powerful:
💪 You’re never too old to be active, and you’re never too old to try something new. Get out of your comfort zone.

Thank you, Mendy, for inspiring healthier lives every day and making such a positive impact in our community! 💙🚒🏥
