💊 Ever find yourself wondering, "Did I take my medication today?"

You're not alone. Keeping track of medications can be difficult, especially when you're managing multiple prescriptions or a busy schedule.

Axis Pharmacies now offer bubble packing to make medication routines a little easier. Medications are organized into a 31-day card, with each dose placed in its own numbered bubble. A quick glance can help you see whether you've already taken your medication for the day.

If you think bubble packing could be helpful for you or someone you care for, talk with our pharmacy team. We're happy to answer questions and help find a solution that works for your needs.

If you're on Medicare, you have mental health benefits — and they're more comprehensive than many people realize.

Medicare covers:
✔ Individual and group therapy sessions
✔ Psychiatric evaluations
✔ Outpatient mental health treatment
✔ Substance use disorder treatment
✔ Telehealth mental health services (expanded post-pandemic)
✔ Annual depression screenings at no cost

Recent federal updates have improved mental health parity under Medicare, meaning mental health services must be covered comparably to physical health services.

Axis Health System accepts Medicare and can help you understand what your plan covers and how to get the most out of your benefits.

Did you know that tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children in the U.S., more common than asthma?

Early dental care makes a lifetime of difference

• Children should have their first dental visit by age 1, or when their first tooth appears
• Regular cleanings prevent cavities that can affect speech, nutrition, and school performance
• Kids on Medicaid are covered for dental visits, and Axis Health System accepts Medicaid

If your child hasn't seen a dentist recently, or ever, our dental team is here and welcoming new patients of all ages. Because healthy kids start with healthy smiles. Find an Axis dentist near you: axishealthsystem.org/dental-care/
