Join Audubon County Memorial Hospital & Clinics as we celebrate American Pharmacy Month. With winter approaching, one of the most common requests of health care providers will be for an antibiotic.

Even some bacterial infections such as bronchitis or a sinus infection do not need an antibiotic right away.

Breast cancer is one of the most serious threats to women and one of the leading causes of death in women between the ages of 30 and 55. One out of every eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Join in the fight against breast cancer by making October the month to get screened.

Pain can be difficult to describe, even by those that deal with its impact every day. One reason is that people feel pain differently. Also, the amount of pain people can tolerate is varied. It can be throbbing or dull, constant or come and go. Pain impacts how you feel physically and emotionally. It can lessen your ability to care for yourself, work or maintain relationships. If you are in pain, it is important you discuss it with your health care provider.
