You know to stay home when you have the flu—but for how long? Even if you’re feeling better, you’re still contagious 5 to 7 days after your symptoms first appeared. So enjoy a few extra days of rest and avoid passing the illness to others. #FluSeason #HealthTips

David thought he had an eye issue when his vision started worsening. He finally visited Mercy Health – #Paducah #Neurology to consult with a doctor and receive an MRI. The scan revealed a metastatic #melanoma, or large tumor, growing in his brain and affecting his ability to see, among other things. Now a brain cancer survivor, David has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. He just celebrated his 89th birthday and is grateful to be healthy and alive. What are you thankful for this year? Share it with us in our comments.

The Lourdes Hospital Foundation in Paducah, KY recently received a donation from Pilgrim's Chicken Paducah employees for our cold caps program in honor of breast cancer month in October. They hosted a woman-less beauty pageant, sold bracelets, and placed pink ribbons around the complex in honor of those affected by breast cancer.
