BREAST HEALTH 'NOT JUST SOMETHING WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT IN OCTOBER'

October has come and gone, but breast health services are year round. St. Bernards Radiologist Dr. Sharp Malak recently spoke with Sara Doan of KJNB encouraging women to keep taking an active role in their breast health, including annual mammograms for any woman 40 or older.

NEW 'HEALTH WAV' PODCAST ON PHYSICAL THERAPY!

We count on our bodies to move. When something doesn't go right, we need someone to help us get moving again. That's where physical therapists come in.

HELP ST. BERNARDS SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT SAFE INFANT SLEEPING PRACTICES - #SafeSleepingSavesLives

Did you know that on average, 61 Arkansas babies die suddenly each year, with the main cause of suffocation stemming from an unsafe sleep environment?

That's why it's important to always follow the ABCs of safe sleep: Place babies Alone, on their Backs and in Cribs for every sleep.

When babies sleep on their backs, they clear fluids more easily. When they sleep on their stomachs, however, fluids pool at the opening of the trachea, making it easier to choke.
