The Power of Nutrition in Building Healthier Communities

Every March, National Nutrition Month^®, led by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, encourages individuals to make informed food choices and develop healthier eating habits. This year’s theme, “Food Connects Us,” highlights the cultural, social, and emotional significance of food while promoting its role in overall health and well-being.

Measles, once considered eliminated in the U.S., is making a comeback, with outbreaks occurring across the country.

In Southeast Wisconsin, where we serve diverse communities at Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center, staying informed about measles prevention, symptoms, and treatment is more important than ever.

Measles is not just a simple rash. It is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads through coughing, sneezing, and direct contact with respiratory droplets. The virus can live in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area, making it one of the most infectious diseases. One infected person can infect 14-18 additional people with measles. 

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but early detection can significantly improve survival rates. With March designated as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, now is the time to focus on the importance of screening and prevention.

At Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center, we are committed to ensuring residents of Southeastern Wisconsin have access to the screenings and care they need to protect their health.

Dental Assistants Recognition Week™ is held the first full week in March every year and was designated by the American Dental Assistants Association as the perfect time to acknowledge and recognize their role as a versatile, multi-talented member of your dental team.

We want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to the incredible Dental Assistants at Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center. Their unwavering dedication, expertise, and compassionate care make a profound impact on the lives of our patients every day. Their hard work, attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly appreciated, and we are fortunate to have such a talented and devoted team.

We are grateful for their tireless efforts in ensuring the highest standard of care and for being such an essential part of our practice.

We hope you were able to stop by the Pillar Health Booth at the 2025 Kenosha Expo Health & Home Show on March 8th and 9th at UW-Parkside. Our staff was busy engaging with people to tell our story and promote our services, especially our top-notch Pediatric Primary Care.

The Kenosha Expo Health & Home Show is a family-friendly, fun and informative opportunity to meet the many businesses and organizations that make the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce such a strong association.
