💙 **Preparing for a medical appointment? You don't have to do it alone.**

A trusted friend or family member can help you stay organized during a healthcare visit.

MedlinePlus suggests asking someone you trust to accompany you and take notes.

📝 Before your next appointment, try these two simple steps:

✅ Write down one important question you want to ask.
✅ Decide what information you'd like your companion to write down.

A little preparation can help you keep track of important information and feel more organized during your visit.

CDL drivers in Manassas: FMCSA's paper medical card waiver ends this Sunday, Oct 11.
Since April, drivers could use a paper copy of their medical card for up to 60 days while states caught up on the new electronic system. After Oct 11, your DOT medical status is checked on your state driving record. FMCSA has said it doesn't expect to extend this again.

Three things to do now:
✔ Make sure your examiner had your correct CDL number
✔ A few days after your exam, check that it shows on your record
✔ Keep your paper copy until it does

If something doesn't post, contact the examiner who did your exam or the DMV.
Due for a DOT physical?

Altmed’s certified medical examiner is on Rixlew Ln in Manassas. Call (703) 361-4357.

Tag a driver whose card is due this fall.

Wondering how to prepare for a lab test? Begin with directions for that specific test. Tell the provider or lab professional about current medicines, vitamins, and supplements, and do not stop a medicine unless instructed. Some tests may require fasting, so confirm whether it applies and how long. The exact preparation can vary by test. Save this three-part reminder before your next test.

DOT physicals in Manassas — save yourself a second trip. 🚛

Before your DOT physical, gather these:
✅ Driver's license
✅ Glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them
✅ A list of your medications and doses
✅ Recent records for ongoing conditions(sleep apnea, diabetes, heart, etc.)

Missing paperwork is one of the most common reasons a driver gets a short-term card or has to come back.

Altmed Medical Center on Rixlew Lane does DOT physicals for drivers across Manassas and Prince William County.

The certified medical examiner makes the final decision under FMCSA rules.

Know a driver whose card is up for renewal? Tag them.

Trying to compare two packaged foods? A simple way to read a Nutrition Facts label is to start with serving size, then view calories and Percent Daily Value for that serving. A container can hold more than one serving, so that context matters. This is general food-label education, not individualized nutrition advice. Save this three-step label check for your next grocery trip.

Wondering about DOT physical vision and hearing requirements? Federal physical-qualification standards address visual acuity, field of vision, color recognition, and hearing measures. Those are federal baseline standards, not a personal result or clearance decision. Your clinic’s appointment instructions can help organize neutral visit questions before the scheduled evaluation. This Reel explains general rule context only. Save this DOT physical preparation reminder before your appointment.

Walk-in flu shots are available now at AltMed Medical Center in Manassas, and one question keeps coming up at the front desk: is late September too early?
It's actually right on time. The CDC says September or October is the ideal window for most people. It takes about two weeks for protection to build, so getting it now means you're covered before flu starts circulating widely. Going much earlier, like July or August, isn't recommended for most adults because protection can fade before the season is over.
A couple more things worth knowing: this season's vaccine has been updated, and the flu shot can't give you the flu.
No appointment needed. Walk in Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, at 8551 Rixlew Lane. Questions about insurance? Call (703) 361-4357.
Send this to the family group chat where someone always asks "is it time yet?"

The approved public route is a call-ahead conversation rather than an availability promise. Call 703-361-4357 for general service information.
