Vestavia urgent care closing—what’s next?

Big change for Vestavia Hills: the UAB St. Vincent’s urgent care clinic is shutting its doors for good this Friday. If you’ve relied on this spot for quick medical help, you’ll now need to head to UAB’s primary care office on Montgomery Hwy—just a few miles away. Leslie Edwards, the clinic’s trusted nurse practitioner, will be making the move too. No official reason was given for the closure, but the team says they’re still committed to our community. How will this affect your family’s healthcare routine? Let’s talk about it! #Health #BodyHealth #VestaviaHills

New urgent care shakes up Broadview Heights

Broadview Heights just got a major boost in healthcare access with the opening of University Hospitals’ new standalone urgent care right by I-77. Locals have been buzzing for months about what would fill that 3-acre spot—now it’s clear: faster, more convenient care for everything from sprains to X-rays, with walk-in and online appointments. This move means less waiting at ERs and more affordable options for those without a primary doctor. Plus, a Chick-fil-A is coming soon next door! How do you think this shift will change the way we handle everyday health issues in our community? #Health #BodyHealth #BroadviewHeights

Michigan schools divided over safety funding

Nearly half of Michigan’s school districts have walked away from millions in state funding meant for safety and mental health, all because of new rules requiring them to waive certain legal protections if a tragedy strikes. Some leaders say the requirements are too vague and could put schools in legal jeopardy, while others argue the money is crucial for student support and security upgrades. With so many districts opting out, the debate is heating up: Should schools accept funding with strings attached, or stand firm on privacy and legal rights? What would you want your local district to do? #Health #MentalHealth #MichiganSchools

Sacramento’s La Terraza hit with health violations

La Terraza, a favorite spot for Mexican food in Old Sacramento, just got slapped with a yellow placard after a recent health inspection found a laundry list of issues—think lukewarm beans, missing food safety certificates, and even slime in the ice machine. The kitchen was also flagged for grease buildup and unlabeled chemicals. The good news? The restaurant can bounce back if it fixes everything before the next inspection in a few days. Have you ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at your go-to eatery? Would these violations make you think twice about dining out? #Health #BodyHealth #SacramentoEats

Nurses Are Swapping Scrubs for Botox

Nurses are ditching the chaos of hospital life for the calm (and cash) of medical spas. Burned out by understaffing and stress, some RNs are taking pay cuts to start over in aesthetics—think Botox and fillers—but many end up making more than ever. It’s not all glam: it takes hustle, training, and a steady hand with a needle. But for nurses like Anni Kim, it’s a breath of fresh air (and a fatter paycheck). Would you make the switch? #Health #BodyHealth #NurseLife

Northampton family demands answers after tragic loss

A young Northampton man’s life was cut short by a rare flesh-eating infection after his worsening symptoms were repeatedly misdiagnosed as minor illnesses. Despite multiple pleas for help, Luke Abrahams, just 20, was never transferred to hospital until it was too late. His family is now pushing for accountability, saying this tragedy could have been prevented if red flags had been taken seriously. It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how crucial it is for both patients and healthcare providers to trust their instincts and push for answers when something feels off. What changes do you think are needed to prevent stories like this? #Health #BodyHealth #Northampton
