Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2018 -- Residents of Pennsylvania who are struggling with the use of opioids or heroin are encouraged by the team at Community Health and Dental Care to take steps now to fight against their addiction by seeking treatment for heroin addiction in Montgomery County. As more and more men and women in Pennsylvania see and feel the effects of the country's opioid crisis, healthcare professionals are providing hope through comprehensive rehabilitation and treatment.

Though opioid addiction is a growing problem throughout the United States that can affect any community or group of people, the residents of Pennsylvania have been hit especially hard in the battle against addictive substances. Earlier this year, Governor Tom Wolf signed a statewide disaster declaration to enhance the state's response and increase visibility and awareness for treatment options. Pennsylvanians have experienced a significant impact when it comes to opioid and heroin addiction, with an estimated 12 men and women losing their lives as a result of overdoses every day.

Medication-assisted treatment, which is available from the team at Community Health and Dental Care, addresses the root causes of addiction and provides long-term solutions that can assist those struggling with opioids or heroin to reduce their dependency in the short-term and sustain sobriety in the long-term. Those struggling with an addiction are urged to seek treatment, as quitting "cold-turkey" can often have life-altering and sometimes fatal consequences.

There is hope available for those struggling with addiction. Whether one is in need of treatment to work towards a better life or help from a reliable OBGYN medical center in Pottstown, the team at Community Health and Dental Care is here for Pennsylvania. Interested parties are encouraged to make the call today to 800-589-6212 to learn more and to get started on the path to a better life.

Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2018 -- In honor of Men's Health Week, which is taking place between June 11th and 17th, the team at Community Health and Dental Care is raising awareness for health issues and risks that men face throughout their lives. By becoming aware and taking action now, men can set themselves up for a safer and higher quality life later down the road.

As they age, men may face several unique challenges that need to be addressed for maximized health. Men are more likely than women to suffer an injury from a fall. Even when adjusted for age, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that men are 49% more likely than women to suffer a more severe fall. Few people are aware that men are more likely than women to be diagnosed with heart disease earlier in life. With an average diagnosis coming 10 years earlier than women, heart disease should be on the top of every man's list of health concerns.

Men also may be more likely than women to skip or avoid scheduling checkups, making Men's Health Week the perfect time to call for that missing appointment with a general practitioner or a dentist.

This year, residents of all ages and genders are being encouraged to celebrate their health and invest in their bodies by seeking the medical attention and education they've been missing. Whether they are in need of emergency dental treatments or they've been searching for a local pediatric eye doctor in Pottstown, Community Health and Dental Care is here to help everyone live a healthier life.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about CHDC's team or scheduling an appointment with their pediatric eye doctor in Boyertown is encouraged to give them a call at 800-589-6212 today or visit online at https://ch-dc.org.

Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2018 -- People who are experiencing unchecked levels of stress are encouraged to read this month's blog post dealing with the health effects of stress, available online from the team at Community Health & Dental Care.

Their team of dentists, physicians and other healthcare professionals is encouraging residents to take a more serious look at their stress levels, and take steps now to lower their levels and prevent long-term complications later down the line.

Stress causes the release of the aptly named stress hormones, chemicals famous for beginning the "fight-or-flight" response. While this response is crucial to keeping humans out of immediate danger, prolonged stress hormone release can have adverse effects on the body.

April is National Stress Awareness Month. The team at Community Health & Dental Care is helping patients of their medical practice and family dentistry in Pottstown understand the importance of relieving stress for optimized health.

Prolonged levels of stress can impact nearly every area of our health. From high levels of blood sugar to an increased risk of everything from depression to heart attacks, stress can lead to a large number of preventable illnesses and conditions.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about how to reduce stress or find out more about this family medical center serving Boyertown is encouraged to pick up the phone and give them a call today at 800-589-6212.

Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/22/2017 -- Residents who find themselves feeling more stressed than usual during the holiday season are encouraged to remain proactive in protecting their health and scheduling an appointment with Community Health & Dental Care, their local family medical center in Boyertown, should they begin to feel ill.

The stress of the holiday season can have physiological effects on the body, so residents are advised to remain particularly aware of their stress levels this winter season.

Though the holiday season is often characterized as one full of joy and fun, the truth is that this time of year can also be very stressful. Stress releases a hormone called cortisol, which has been found to suppress the immune system, leaving us more susceptible to illness and infection. Stress can also affect sleeping habits, causing us to sleep less and further increasing the chance that we get sick.

Many people find that stress can cause them to overeat, abuse tobacco or alcohol and lash out at their loved ones. By understanding how stress affects health, residents can make a plan to conquer stress before it harms their health this holiday.

Anyone who feels themselves suffering from the effects of stress is encouraged to visit Community Health & Dental Care, a leading local family and kids health center in Montgomery County. Those in need of an appointment are encouraged to give them a call today at 800-589-6212 or visit them online at https://ch-dc.org to learn more about how stress can take its toll during the holidays.

Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2017 -- Community Health & Dental Care, the premier family health center serving Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is doing their part by participating in Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month. Aside from Movember and No-shave November, the month of November is also Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, diabetic eye disease affects over five million Americans ages 18 and older. Even worse, approximately 29 million Americans ages 20 and older have diabetes, but an estimated one-third are not aware they have the disease. This puts millions of American at risk for vision loss and other health issues.

Early symptoms can be extremely difficult to detect. However, a routine eye exam can help spot signs of the disease and will allow doctors to treat the disease before severe eyesight loss occurs. Anyone who experiences blurred vision in just one eye that lasts more than a few days and is not associated with a mild change in blood sugar should contact Community Health & Dental immediately.

Community Health & Dental Care specializes in an array of health services ranging from on-site laboratory services, flu shots, family medical services and women's health exams to dental care, preventive screenings, childhood immunizations and even offers same-day appointments.

Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/11/2017 -- Residents interested in staying on top of their health are getting their facts on prostate cancer from Community Health & Dental Care, one of the leading providers of affordable health care in Pennsylvania.

National Prostate Cancer Awareness Week is September 17th to 24th, and though one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in his life, the disease remains underrepresented in awareness campaigns. Community Health & Dental Care wants to change that and encourage more and more residents to get tested and stay informed about their health.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cancer in men living in the United States behind skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that this year alone, about 161,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed, and about 26,000 deaths will occur as a result of prostate cancer, which is the third leading cause of death amongst men. Close to every one in every 39 American men will die of prostate cancer.

While prostate cancer is a serious disease, most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will live if diagnosed early. Men who are over the age of 50 are recommended to have a screening for prostate cancer at their annual physical or earlier if they have a family history of prostate cancer.

All interested in learning more about prostate cancer or getting screened are encouraged to call Community Health & Dental Care by calling 800-589-6212 or visiting them online at https://ch-dc.org for scheduling and more information.

A Federally Qualified Community Health Center, Community Health & Dental Care, Inc. was founded on support by local organizations and the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation. Constantly striving to give back to the members of their community who may be avoiding preventative care due to high fees traditionally associated with these services, they have built a loyal patient base in the surrounding areas due to their knowledge, superior customer service skills and simplicity of appointment management.

Residents have even begun to refer to the community health center as the "Best Kept Secret in Local Healthcare," and the business continues to expand to meet the needs of their patients. Their friendly staff encourages anyone looking for healthcare to pay a visit to this local spot that's not such a secret anymore.
