💙 Your kidneys do a big job every day, filtering waste and helping keep your body healthy.
More than 1 in 7 adults are living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and many don't know they have it because symptoms often don't appear until the disease has progressed. Left untreated, CKD can increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke.

Regular checkups, managing blood pressure and blood sugar, and talking with your medical provider about your kidney health can help detect problems early and protect your long-term health. 🩺

Stress can show up in the body in ways we do not always recognize right away. Tight shoulders, racing thoughts, shallow breathing, trouble sleeping, and feeling constantly “on edge” may all be signs your body is under stress.

The good news is that small, simple habits can help calm your nervous system and reduce tension. Techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, muscle relaxation, and even taking a short walk can make a difference.

If stress, anxiety, or emotional health concerns are beginning to affect your daily life, Ward Memorial Hospital’s Mental Health Services team is here to help. 💙
