Since the beginning of the year, many Americans have become caregivers for the first time and about half of those because of COVID-19. An experienced caregiver offers her advice on caring for a loved one.

Thanks to air-filtering systems and mask requirements, new research says flying during the coronavirus pandemic is low-risk. Here's what to consider before hopping on a plane.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women after skin cancer. Here are some important facts every woman should know about this deadly disease.

When facing a cancer diagnosis, a patient’s life can suddenly be flipped upside down. During this journey, many patients begin to lean on friends and family for... support and a sense of normalcy. We often hear stories of cancer patients who feel alone because their relationships with their loved ones have changed since being diagnosed. On the other hand, we also hear of those same friends and family members who shy away because they are afraid to say the wrong thing or not help in the right way. That’s why we’ve put together a new guide covering topics like empathy, compassion, do’s and don’ts of what to say, and additional resources for helping your friend or family member to feel as normal as possible during this challenging journey. Empower yourself with the information you need to be the best support system you can be - get your free guide, What to Say to a Cancer Patient, today.

Every Thursday from 3-5pm, we have FREE "Grab & Go" Meals available for curbside pick-up while quantities last.

Tomorrow (Thursday), October 29 we will have our Chef's Collective "Grab & Go" meals available from 3-5pm. It is a Chipotle type meal to feed you and your fami...ly with veggies and other ingredients. Location: Calvary Community Wellness Center 3002 Holmes KCMO www.ccon-kc.org 816 531-4683 ext. 21

Thank you to these awesome Ladies!

Covid-19 Tip of the Day: This week’s COVID-19 education continues to inform our community on the importance of preventing both COVID-19 and the flu. As we have ...all learned, both viruses can be deadly and there is still no cure for either. Looking at last year’s flu deaths for Missouri, we have already almost doubled those numbers for the amount of people who have died from COVID-19 in Missouri alone and we still have not seen the end of 2020. It’s important for the public to understand that just because COVID-19 has claimed more lives that Flu, it is still just as serious. We already have a preventive tool for the flu with the yearly vaccine and we want to encourage our community members to vaccinate as early as possible. Please help us spread the word by taking some time to read and disseminate amongst your community via email, social media, etc. As always, we continue to refer all who have questions or concerns regarding COVID-19 or Flu to call our 816-404-CARE(2273) to speak to one of our nurses Monday Saturday during business hours.
