2024 flew by in the blink of an eye! As we embrace the new year, it is a chance to hit the reset button and realign our priorities. We often make promises to ourselves about adopting healthier habits like eating better, exercising, and getting more sleep. But let's face it, life can throw us curveballs, making it challenging to stick to these goals. That is okay. The key is to show up every day and strive to become the person you aspire to be.
Peak Vista will be closing early at noon on December 24th and December 31st. Please note that all facilities will be closed on December 25th in observance of Christmas and on January 1st for New Year's Day. For assistance outside of regular hours, you can reach our 24/7 nurse's triage line at (719) 632-5700. In case of emergencies, please dial 911.
This special time of year has much to offer regarding food and “sweet treats,” from punch to cookies, candy, and chocolate. Although it is perfectly fine to indulge in the sweeter things in life, we do not want to overdo it! Overconsumption of sugary foods and drinks can be bad for our teeth, and no one wants to start the New Year off with cavities and tooth pain.
Our Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, and physicians provide a full range care for women at all stages of their lives. From the onset of menstruation through the challenges of perimenopause and menopause we are here to help.
As we near the holiday season, it is important to recognize that it can bring about a lot of different emotions. While it is a time for joy, festivities, and delicious food, it can also create stress and sadness.
We understand that your mental health is as important as your physical health. Together, we work with you to reach your behavioral health goals and address psychosocial issues that can get in the way of leading a healthy, happy life. Behavioral Health providers are integrated into your care team at Peak Vista Community Health Centers and can see you when you come in for medical or dental appointments.
According to a report from the Colorado Health Institute, food insecurity significantly impacts health. It contributes to disparities within communities, with certain ZIP codes in Colorado Springs facing considerable challenges in food access and availability. This inequality extends beyond mere hunger; it is intricately linked to health. The absence of nutrient-dense foods gives rise to a range of health issues and, ultimately, a decrease in life expectancy.
