Asante’s Post

As we celebrate our nation's independence, be mindful of the extreme heat wave hitting Southern Oregon this weekend. Your health and safety are our top priorities, so here are a few tips to stay cool and safe: 🌡️ Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. 🕶️ Seek shade: Avoid direct sunlight and take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. 👕 Dress smart: Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing. ⚠️ Be aware: Symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke can include dizziness, nausea and rapid heartbeat. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday!

We were thrilled to be a Presenting Sponsor of the 2024 Southern Oregon Classic benefiting CASA of Jackson County, Oregon and Asante Foundation. Asante team members had a great time on the course swinging for a good cause!

“Everything that I have, everything is because of Asante. From all the lab techs who have taken extra care to be as gentle as possible with me to every nurse who has treated me with kindness, excellent care and most of all, made me laugh, my team has done everything to let me have all this.” Read Suzanne's story and join her at the 2024 Walk for Hope on October 5: https://lnkd.in/gnnKyu67.

Introducing Asante Immediate Care in Medford! We’re open and our team is here to see you. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at the Black Oak Medical Plaza, Medford. Asante offers more options to care with the opening of our second Immediate Care location at 555 Black Oak, Medford; in the Medical Plaza on the Asante Rogue Regional campus. Immediate Care providers are emergency trained in a wide range of conditions, and patients can receive lab draws and imaging — including X-rays, ultrasound and CT scans — on site, often with results on the same day. “We’re excited to offer these services in Jackson County to ensure our patients receive the right level of care at the right place and the right time,” says Dr. Chris David, Medical Director at Asante Three Rivers and Director of Immediate Care. Patients are seen first by a triage nurse, who decides whether Immediate Care is best or a trip to the Emergency Department is in order. Patients who are transferred to the ED are not billed for the Immediate Care visit. Immediate Care provides treatment for minor sprains, strains and breaks, concussions, mild fevers, severe colds, nausea, diarrhea and stomach virus symptoms, insect bites, minor animal bites, neck pain, back pain, ear infections, pink eye, urinary tract infections and allergies. Asante Immediate Care is an outpatient department of Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center. To learn more about Immediate Care, visit: https://lnkd.in/gWTBFgcY
