                  Preventing an Overuse Injury

                  July 25, 2019
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  Repetitive motion and improper form during physical activity can lead to an overuse injury in a joint or muscle. These differ from acute injuries in that they gradually occur over time, and cannot be pinpointed to a particular event. Though age does play a part in your risk factor, anyone can suffer an overuse injury. To keep physically active, without risking your chance of injury, here’s what you need to ...

                  ICAHN video encourages EMS participation in rural areas

                  July 19, 2019
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  Declining numbers could lead to increased deaths ICAHN video encourages EMS participation in rural areas Due largely to limited budgets, increased responsibilities and education requirements, the rural EMS workforce has steadily declined for around three decades.

                  Danielle's Time to Tri

                  July 17, 2019
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  An active lifestyle does not come naturally to me. I danced and played tennis as a child and teen, but I was never the kid that was climbing the walls and running around all day long. I would much rather be knitting, working a puzzle, or just having a great conversation. However, I know this is a recipe for poor health so I have tried really, really hard to form better habits. A friend of mine asked me to join the ...

                  Grown-ups need shots too

                  July 11, 2019
                  Posted By Kirby Medical Center

                  Immunizations aren't just for children. Adults need protection from infectious diseases too. And that means rolling up your sleeve for a shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends some vaccines for all adults and others for adults with specific risk factors.
