| | | | 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.

| | 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:

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.
