Rodgers Health

Labor moves fast. The room fills up with people you may have never met before, decisions get made quickly, and the person who came with you is doing their best, but has never been through this either.

A doula has. She knows what questions to ask when things shift unexpectedly. She knows how to help you understand what is happening and what your options are. She stays with you through all of it, not just the moments when everything is going smoothly.

The MaIH Center at Sam Rodgers is here for expecting mothers who want that kind of support in their corner. Call (816) 889.4897 or visit https://bit.ly/4kmlXX7 to learn about doula support before your due date gets any closer.

Men are taught to push through a lot.

A long shift. Bad sleep. Stress. Being tired. Not feeling quite right.

But some things should not be powered through.

Diabetes can build quietly while you are still showing up, still working, and still telling people, “I’m good.” The tiredness, thirst, extra bathroom trips, blurry vision, or tingling feet may not feel like enough reason to make an appointment, but they are signs worth checking.

At Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, a diabetes screening can help you stop guessing. Our award-winning medical home model connects primary care, lab testing, medication support, and next steps that make sense for your life.

If “I’m good” has been covering up tiredness, thirst, or tingling feet, it is time to check. Sam Rodgers helps more than 1,400 diabetic patients annually keep major health risks under control. Call (816) 474.4920 or visit https://bit.ly/4fnHU56 to request an appointment.

Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center’s Rory Kirk attended Urban Summit’s annual conference in Kansas City this past weekend alongside Mrs. Sylvan.

The conference featured keynote speakers Qiana Thomason of Health Forward Foundation, a valued Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center partner, and the Rev. Jamal Bryant.

We appreciated the opportunity to connect with leaders and organizations from across the region during this year’s conference.
