                • Why Water Matters More Than You Think

                  December 22, 2016
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  Our brains, blood, and lungs are composed of 70-80-90% water respectively. Your body relies on water to function properly and not in a small way.

                  December 8, 2016
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  Have you ever noticed that you tend to feel energized and drowsy around the same times every day? If so, you have your circadian rhythm to thank. What is it, exactly?

                  Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Tanya Bowsher, a Kirby Medical Group nurse practitioner who is currently battling breast cancer.

                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  It's the time of year for giving thanks. There are so many things to be thankful for - loving family and wonderful coworkers, the beautiful community we live in and, of course, good health.
