Mission Trip Fundraiser

By

Han Su’s wife Kristy Su (Nurse Practitioner at Carolina Convenient Care) and their daughter, Abigail Su, are raising money to go on a mission trip this summer to Costa Rica. They will be working in the community and helping children and families in need with their church, Cornerstone Presbyterian.

One of the things they are doing to raise money is selling unique bracelets that were made in the Philippines. The bracelets are two dollars a piece. One dollar will go directly to their mission trip and the other dollar will go to help children in the Philippines.

If you would like to purchase one or a few, stop by Carolina Convenient Care or 501 Pharmacy. If you would just like to partner and support them without buying a bracelet, that is completely welcome, too.

Thank you, for your time and support!

CBD Is Legal

By

There have been lots of rumors flying around that CBD is illegal now. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Yes, it is considered to be a drug by the FDA, but what this means is it cannot be an additive into foods. Therefore, the companies that make CBD gummies and other food products are going to have to stop selling them in North Carolina. The good news is, the CBD oils, capsules, and salves that we carry at 501 Pharmacy are still legal!

What is CBD?

CBD oil is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant and is known as hemp. Hemp and marijuana come from the same type of plant, but hemp is not psychoactive so it does NOT get you high.

CBD oils, capsules, and salves can be used for natural pain relief, ADHD, anxiety, neurological symptoms and disorders, acne, joint stiffness, anxiety, asthma, depression, sleep disorders, and more.

February Is American Heart Month, Black History Month, and National Children’s Dental Health Month

By

February is a big month and we are looking forward to celebrating Black History Month as well as promoting heart health and dental health in these 28 days and beyond.

American Heart Month

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States? According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, one in four deaths are caused by heart disease every year. Spreading the news about heart health is especially important because many times, heart disease can be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions.

Here are a few ways you can lower your risk of developing heart disease. Help us spread the word by encouraging your friends and family members to join you in these activities.

  • Watch your weight.
  • Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke.
  • Control your cholesterol and blood pressure.
  • If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation.
  • Get active and eat healthy.

Black History Month

We found this great list of ways to celebrate Black History Month from Scholastic! Celebrate with your friends and family, using their twenty-eight ideas, one for every day of February, that recognize the heritage, accomplishments, and culture of African Americans in the United States.

National Children’s Dental Health Month

February is also National Children’s Dental Health Month and we are helping spread the word about the importance of good oral health for children. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This year’s NCDHM campaign slogan is “Brush and clean in between to build a healthy smile” and that is one campaign we can really get behind.

Please visit our good friends, Dr. Alexandra Boudreau and Dr. Kevin Ricker at Chatham Pediatric Dentistry located in Briar Chapel Veranda. They provide complete, comprehensive dental care for every patient – young, younger, and everywhere in between.
