  How Does the Flu Vaccine Protect Me?

  Sep 9, 20268 min

  "How does the flu vaccine work and help me?" Influenza vaccination. Tammie Henderson, FNP-C, Primary Care Provider at Riverside Healthcare, explains how the vaccine introduces a weakened version of the virus (not live) so your body builds antibodies. Hear about reduced risk (about 40–60% in a well-matched season), shorter illness duration, milder symptoms if you still get sick, and common post-vaccine reactions like arm soreness or low-grade fever.

  Worried your injury will take longer to heal or leave lasting limits? Mitch Cronk, PT, DPT, CLT, Outpatient Rehab Manager at Riverside Healthcare, explains which clinic technologies may help and when they're used.

  Why Riverside Is Updating Inpatient Behavioral Health Spaces

  Sep 2, 202611 min

  Are inpatient units changing, and what does that mean for care? April Balzhiser, MA, LCPC, ICDVP, Director Inpatient Behavioral Health at Riverside Healthcare, explains Riverside’s investment in modern behavioral health spaces and why local services matter. She discusses outdated public perceptions versus today’s voluntary, evidence-based, short-term stays focused on whole-person healing; clinical reasons for admission (safety risks, failure of ADLs, medication titrations); and specific design upgrades—circadian lighting to support sleep-wake cycles, nature-inspired pillars, and sound-absorbing ceiling panels—that reduce overstimulation and improve cognition. April also highlights how keeping behavioral health services in the community strengthens overall public health and how to reach Riverside’s 24/7 central intake at 844-442-2551 for help.
