Protect Your Heart This February
February is American Heart Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health and the steps we can take to protect our hearts. Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death, but many risk factors are preventable and manageable with the right care and lifestyle choices.
At LaBanks Medical Services, we believe prevention is powerful. Routine checkups, blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol screening, weight management, and lifestyle counseling all play an important role in supporting long term heart health.
Know Your Numbers
Understanding your key health indicators can make all the difference. Important numbers to monitor include: blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, Body Mass Index (BMI), resting heart rate.
Regular annual physicals allow us to identify concerns early and create a personalized plan to keep your heart strong.
Simple Steps to Support Heart Health
Small changes can lead to big results. Consider incorporating these heart healthy habits:
- Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
- Stay physically active with at least 30 minutes of movement most days
- Manage stress levels
- Avoid smoking
- Limit alcohol intake
- Stay consistent with prescribed medications
Preventive Care Matters
Our annual physicals and membership plans are designed to keep you prepared and covered throughout the year. Preventive care is not just about addressing problems. It is about staying ahead of them.
If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease, now is the time to schedule your visit.

- Women’s health
We provide comprehensive women’s health care, including support for menopause, perimenopause, and hormonal imbalances. Hormonal changes can affect energy levels, mood, sleep, weight, and overall quality of life. Our team offers personalized evaluations and treatment options designed to help you manage symptoms and restore balance.
Hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy, is commonly used to relieve symptoms of menopause and perimenopause by replacing hormones that naturally decline with age. According to leading medical sources, hormone therapy can help reduce hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. It may also help prevent bone loss in some women. Treatment plans vary and can include estrogen alone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone, depending on individual health history and whether a patient has had a hysterectomy. At LaBanks Medical Services, we provide personalized evaluations to determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate and safe for you, ensuring care that is tailored to your symptoms, risk factors, and overall health goals
