A backpack should carry school supplies, not create unnecessary strain.

Encourage students to use both shoulder straps, adjust the backpack so it rests close to the body and remove items they do not need. When studying or using a computer, keep screens near eye level and take regular movement breaks.

Persistent back, neck or shoulder pain should not be dismissed as a normal part of the school year. Persistent neck or back pain deserves attention. Learn more about spine care: https://ow.ly/iNQb50Zwmje

St. Luke's Health-The Vintage Hospital recently reached a new height in patient care with our first successful Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm repair, led by Dr. Nidal Buheis.

For too long, patients needing this critical surgery (which repairs a weakened spot in the body's largest artery) had to leave our community. Now, our residents can receive this advanced, life-saving treatment right here, close to their loved ones.

This not only provides exceptional medical care, but also significantly reduces the burden of travel and transfer costs that patients previously faced when needing such a procedure.

We're committed to making healthcare as accessible and convenient as possible. What a win for our community!
