nheath+FollowWhy Can’t Pharmacies Fill This Opioid Rx?Wild stat: Only about 1 in 3 pharmacies in the US can actually fill a prescription for buprenorphine, a key med for opioid addiction.

Patients are getting scripts but can’t get the meds. How is this still a thing in 2025? #Health #BodyHealth #OpioidCrisis104296Share

james60+FollowBig changes for Loveland health care: What’s next?Banner Health is making a major shift in Loveland—McKee Medical Center will become a specialty hospital, and emergency services at both McKee and Greeley are closing on Nov. 5. This move impacts 351 employees, though many may find new roles within Banner’s network. The company says these changes are driven by fewer ER visits and a push for more outpatient care. For locals, this means traveling a bit farther for emergency services but gaining expanded specialty care in the future. How do you feel about these changes to our local health care landscape? #Health #BodyHealth #Loveland10Share

Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowLithium: The Surprising Alzheimer’s Plot TwistWait, what if the secret to fighting Alzheimer’s isn’t some fancy new drug, but a simple mineral salt we’ve overlooked?

Ryan Lewis+FollowTylenol and Autism? New Report Sparks DebateMajor tea: The upcoming HHS report might link Tylenol use during pregnancy and low folate to higher autism risk in kids, but experts are not convinced. Some say folinic acid (a type of folate) could help with symptoms, but the science is all over the place. Drugmakers and doctors are urging calm, saying there’s no solid proof Tylenol causes autism. Autism rates are up, but that’s partly due to better screening and broader definitions. Thoughts? #Health #BodyHealth #AutismAwareness2917Share
