May is Mental Health Month — Let’s Talk About It

Mental health is an important part of your overall health. It includes how we think, feel, and act. Mental health affects how we handle stress, make choices, and build relationships with others.

Every year, 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 children aged 6–17 in the U.S. live with a mental health disorder. This shows how common mental health issues are — and why it’s important to talk about them.


Good Mental Health Helps Us:

  • Handle stress and bounce back after hard times
  • Build and keep strong relationships
  • Focus at work or school
  • Make healthy choices
  • Feel good about who we are and what we do


At Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center, we are here to support you and your family. You are not alone.


If you or someone you love needs help, please call to make an appointment:

  • Pillar Health Kenosha Clinic — (262) 771-1700
  • KCHC 22nd Avenue Kenosha Clinic — (262) 771-0070
  • KCHC 2nd Street Silver Lake Clinic — (262) 771-1963


Let’s work together to support mental health and build a healthier, happier community.

May is High Blood Pressure Awareness Month

Your heart works hard for you—every day. This month, take a moment to check in on your heart health.

High blood pressure (also called hypertension) is a serious condition that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other health problems. Many people don’t know they have it because it often has no symptoms.


Simple steps can make a big difference:

  • Get your blood pressure checked
  • Eat healthy foods and stay active
  • Take your medicine if prescribed
  • Reduce stress and limit salt


Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center are here to help you stay heart-healthy. Schedule your annual checkup today—which includes blood pressure screening.


Call the location closest to you to make an appointment:

  • Pillar Health Kenosha Clinic — (262) 771-1700
  • KCHC 14th Avenue Kenosha Clinic — (262) 771-1688
  • KCHC 22nd Avenue Kenosha Clinic — (262) 771-0070
  • KCHC 2nd Street Silver Lake Clinic (Behind Dairy Queen) — (262) 771-1963


Let’s work together to keep your heart—and your whole body—healthy all year long.

Is Your Family Protected from Measles?

Measles is making a comeback across the U.S. Once considered eliminated, measles is now re-emerging, with outbreaks reported in several states—including Minnesota and Michigan.

Learn the symptoms, understand how it spreads, and find out what you can do to protect yourself and your family—especially as cases rise in our neighboring states.

Celebrating Our Nurses

During Nurses Week—and every week—we celebrate and recognize the incredible dedication, compassion, and skill of nurses here at Pillar Health, KCHC, and around the world.


Nurses are the backbone of healthcare. We honor not only the extraordinary work they do but also the real-life challenges they face every day on the front lines of patient care. To all the nurses making a difference in our community—thank you for your strength, commitment, and heart. You are truly the heroes of healthcare.

In the Community

On Saturday, April 26, KCHC/Pillar Health participated in the 4th Annual Kenosha County Association for Home and Community Education (KCAHCE) - Families Branching Out Expo at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol, WI.
