Premier Health Family Practice & Walk-In

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day—a reminder to stand up for the dignity, safety, and rights of older adults. Elder abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or neglect. Speak up, stay informed, and help create communities where every senior is respected and protected.

Join Premier Health in recognizing June 10th as Action Anxiety Day! Action Anxiety day is held on June 10th every year and is aimed to raise awareness of anxiety, while also raising funds to develop trusted evidence-based resources and affordable treatments for children, teens, and adults. Join the campaign by sharing your own anxiety stories, and wear blue and orange on June 10 to show support and eliminate the stigma around anxiety disorders.

Join Premier Health in recognizing June as ALS awareness month! Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a neurological disorder that affects motor neurons, the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing. As motor neurons degenerate and die, they stop sending messages to the muscles, which causes the muscles to weaken, start to twitch (fasciculations), and waste away (atrophy). Eventually, in people with ALS, the brain loses its ability to initiate and control voluntary movements such as walking, talking, chewing and other functions, as well as breathing.
