🤧 Colorado Flu Cases Surge—Stay Safe

Flu season is hitting Colorado hard, with the CDC reporting one of the highest levels of flu activity in the country. Nationwide, flu-related doctor visits are the worst since the 2009 H1N1 outbreak, and local doctors are seeing a rise in respiratory illnesses across all age groups. While no one knows exactly when the surge will slow, there are ways to stay protected—getting a flu shot, testing early for symptoms, and seeking treatment if needed. With cases still climbing, now’s the time to take precautions. Full Story

Despite efforts to regain access, she found little help from Facebook, forcing her to start fresh and rethink her online security.

🐴 Free Therapy for Veterans—With Horses

The Remount Foundation in Colorado Springs offers free equine therapy to active-duty military members, veterans, and their families, helping them cope with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

More than 16,000 people have found healing through this unique program, where horses provide a nonjudgmental space to process emotions and regain a sense of calm. Many participants say the experience not only helps them relax but also improves their sleep and overall well-being. The foundation’s mission is simple: no one should have to heal alone, and sometimes, four-legged therapy partners make all the difference. Full Story
