CLINIC NOTES

We are here for YOU!

Give yourself an extra edge this winter and get your flu shot!  Up to 50,000 Americans die a year of influenza and they are mostly young children and the elderly.  Please call us and see if you can get one!

Coming to the Compassionate Care Pediatrics is the Mental Health Clinic!  We believe that mental health should be available to every person in Martinsville and surrounding areas.  With this expansion, we are able to help all children thorough all stages of growth, depression, family problems, school problems, personal problems, and be there for the joys of life. Our goal is giving you purpose in life by making you our purpose.

A long time ago people thought that not taking a bath helped keep them from getting germs. Well, they died.  It is very important to keep your whole body clean to help keep away disease. Yes, wash your hands-always better than hand sanitizer! But, remember, having a healthy body means taking care of your biggest organ and that is your skin! Yucky bacteria and viruses linger on it so you can spread all kinds of gross stuff to yourself after a trip to Walmart!  So stay clean in this dirty world!

Guess what your body is made up of that keeps it all smushy and gushy the way it's supposed to be? Soda? No. Tea? No. Koolaid? No. IT IS WATER! So make everyone proud and drink yummy water.  Save the rest for special occassions like a 100% on your spelling test or cleaning the entire house and making your family dinner :)

Here is the RIGHT way to use hand sanitizer!


When you put some in the palm of your hands, you MUST rub your hands vigorously! The friction is what helps the alcohol in the gel to 'burn' off the bacteria!  If you just put it on there like lotion then you haven't really done anything.  After 6 uses you MUST wash your hands.  It will become ineffective! Spread the word on the right way to use the sanitizer so you don't spread the germs!
