EDUCATIONAL TUESDAY!!! THE NEW GLP-1 BRIDGE PROGRAM IS GOING STRONG.....DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND........

Started in July 2026, some people with Medicare will be eligible for Medicare coverage of certain weight-loss medications through the new Medicare GLP‑1 Bridge Program.
Background
Under federal law, Medicare Part D plans cannot cover medications prescribed for weight loss, among several other “excluded” categories of drugs and indications. Medications that are FDA-approved for both weight loss and other indications may only be covered by Part D plans for non-weight loss indications.
GLP-1 drugs, which include medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions, have greatly increased in popularity in recent years due to their demonstrated effectiveness. But the federal exclusion limits Medicare coverage of these drugs.

STOP BY AND LET US SEE IF YOU QUALIFY!!!

EDUCATIONAL TUESDAY!!! SCRAPES AND CUTS CAN TURN WORSE IN SUMMER WEATHER.....USE CAUTION......AND STOP BY WE CAN HELP!!!

Wound care involves stopping any bleeding, cleaning the injury to prevent infection, and keeping the area properly protected and moist to optimize healing. Proper care varies significantly based on whether the wound is acute or chronic.

First Aid & Minor Wound CareFor basic cuts, scrapes, or minor burns, you can manage the healing process at home using these sequential steps:
Wash hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the injury.
Stop bleeding: Apply gentle, continuous pressure with a clean cloth or gauze pad.
Clean the area: Rinse the wound under cool, running water to wash away dirt. Wash around it with mild soap. Avoid harsh irritants like hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or iodine, which damage healthy tissue.
Moisten and protect: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) or antibiotic ointment to keep the surface moist and decrease scabbing.
Cover with a sterile bandage.Change daily: Replace the bandage at least once a day or whenever it gets wet or dirty.

Medical & Chronic Wound CareComplex, non-healing, or chronic wounds—such as diabetic foot ulcers or surgical incisions—require a specialized diagnostic plan and clinical interventions:
Debridement: The medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to jumpstart the healing process.
Advanced dressings: Utilizing specialized materials like hydrogels, foams, collagen, or bioengineered skin substitutes to manage moisture.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Administering 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to enhance tissue repair and fight infection.

Circulation and Nutrition Support: Improving blood flow via compression or surgery, and increasing dietary protein and vitamins to build new tissue.
