Life’s Flavors ~ Summer Fun By Allison Libby-Thesing
We have finally made it to summer and there is still so much going on that time away from the hustle and bustle of the school year seems like a distant memory. Right before school ended and we were thrust into summer fun. I snuck away for a little trip with my daughter and sister-in-law. We had a five-night stay in Costa Mujeres at an all-inclusive resort. For easy, safe, fun travel to Mexico I highly recommend an all-inclusive resort. Food almost 24/7, drinks and entertainment when you need and want it.

The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation Heart Calcium Tests
It is always a little intimidating to have a new medical test scheduled. Will it hurt? Is it invasive? How long will it take?. The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation wants to remove the apprehension from heart calcium scans. They do not hurt unless you have difficulty lying on your back for ten minutes. They are not invasive…just a few electrodes on your chest and holding your breath for a few seconds at one point. Although you may spend about 30 minutes at the hospital to get your scan, the actual scan only takes about 10 minutes.
