A Different Kind of Pharmacist
Welcome Jacob M. Sprouse, Pharm.D., our new clinical pharmacist.
Are they just teenagers or could it be depression?
Teenage years are often defined by angst, rebellion, and breaking away from family in a search for independence. But symptoms of depression are not “normal” in adolescent development and should be taken seriously.
How do you talk with youth about difficult topics?
Is there a perfect time to talk to your kids and loved ones about important topics like relationships and sexual health? Yes, sexual health. Often not an easy topic to talk about with adults let alone kids but it’s surely an important one.
School-Based Health Centers
Imagine having a medical facility on the campus of your child’s school. Now that’s a reality with the Penn Yan School-Based Health Center located at Penn Yan Elementary.
