New job? 👋 If your employer requires TB screening before your first day, you've got options: a quick skin test (with a follow-up reading 48 to 72 hours later) or a one-visit blood test. We offer both at SouthStar Urgent Care - Zachary!

TB is pretty rare in the U.S., so there are many misconceptions about it. One myth worth busting: Louisiana's heat and humidity don't make TB spread more easily. 🌡️ TB spreads through close indoor contact, not the weather. And if your test result comes back positive, that almost always means a latent infection, not active, contagious TB.

Learn all about TB testing and your options for having it done on our latest blog, at https://gosouthstar.com/health-blog/understanding-employment-tb-tests-what-you-need-to-know/.

Need to check TB testing off your onboarding list? SouthStar Urgent Care can help. Walk in or book online at https://gosouthstar.com/find-a-clinic/zachary/.

Happy National Physician Assistants Week to our incredible PAs!

Physician Assistants are an indispensable part of our healthcare system. They practice in every setting including hospitals, primary care, urgent care and specialized private practices. They examine, diagnose and treat patients, working as part of a physician-led team to provide exceptional care. And by filling gaps in care around the country, they help ensure that people can get the medical attention they need.

Here at SouthStar Urgent Care - Zachary, we have some of the best PAs around! We are so grateful that they bring their knowledge and compassion to work every day. Without their talents, we could not provide the top-notch care you’ve come to expect from SouthStar.

To all our PAs, thank you for your dedication to helping us provide “Care That is Personal” to people when they need it most. We are lucky to have you!

If you’re a PA looking to join a great team providing fantastic care in a fast-paced setting, we’d love to hear from you! Check out our open positions at https://gosouthstar.com/careers/.

Back-to-school achoos? Germs spread fast in classrooms and cafeterias, where shared surfaces and close contact are the norm…and uncovered coughs and runny noses are more common than you’d like to think!

If a nasty bug follows your kid home, come see us here at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices for help identifying what’s wrong. We can treat your child’s symptoms so they feel better and can get the rest they need to get back on their feet. In the meantime, don’t forget to clean high-traffic surfaces and wash hands regularly to avoid passing viruses on to your whole family. (And if it’s too late, bring everybody in…we treat all ages!)

Ahh, September. 🍂 The weather's still pleasant, the kids are back in school 🎒 and you can enjoy a bit of peace before holiday season takes over. ☕

But, respiratory virus season is lurking...are you ready? If not, now is the perfect time to start protecting yourself and your family from the common cold, flu, RSV, bronchitis and other bugs. 🦠

💉 Get vaccinated! Nearly everyone 6 months or older should get the flu shot, which is safe, accessible, greatly reduces your risk of catching the flu and prevents severe illness if you do get sick. Adults and high-risk children should consider the COVID-19 vaccine, and certain children and older adults should receive the RSV vaccine. Learn more at: https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/respiratory-virus-immunization-recommendations.pdf.

🥗 Fuel your body. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, drink plenty of water 💧, get adequate sleep 😴 and exercise regularly to give your immune system a boost.

🤧 Cover up. Fully cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow when coughing or sneezing and teach children to do the same.

🧼 Practice good hand hygiene. Wash frequently, especially after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food and after touching your face or shared surfaces. Teach your kiddos proper washing technique, too! 👧👦

🧽 Keep your home clean. Disinfect high-touch surfaces like doorknobs and light switches and keep your kitchen and bathroom clean. ✨

Unless you live in a bubble 🫧, it's impossible to guarantee you won't get sick this fall or winter. But a little attention now can reduce the chances you miss out on fall fun 🎃🍎 thanks to a nasty virus.

And don't worry…if you do come down with something, SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices is here to help! 🩺 Just book online at https://gosouthstar.com/ 💻 or walk in today. 🚶

🤒 When you or your child is sick, hurting or injured, we know getting medical treatment is just one more thing you'd rather not be doing. That's why our goal is to make the process of getting the care you need as easy and supportive as possible. 💙

It's also why your reviews are so important to us ⭐. When we succeed, a 5-star review like the one below makes our day and reminds us why we're here. And when we fall short of perfect, we use the feedback to learn how we can do better next time 📝. It's our way of continually pushing ourselves to fulfill our promise to provide care that is personal. 🙌

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We had a great experience at this urgent care. Our son had a laceration, and they took him in right away and took excellent care of him. The staff was very thorough and detail-oriented when stitching the wound, making sure everything was done properly. We really appreciated the care, attention, and due diligence they showed throughout the entire visit. Highly recommend this place, especially when you need prompt and professional care!” — Lake Charles

☀️ The sun's out and summer is at its apex! Don't forget: too much time outside can be dangerous if you don't protect yourself from UV rays 🔆 and dehydration 💧.

A tan might look healthy, but the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that gives you that temporary glow also contributes to premature aging, increases the risk of some cancers, and can cause severe burns 🥵. The heat also makes dehydration a risk, which can cause many unpleasant symptoms that prevent you from enjoying yourself.

So, if you're going to be out in the heat, protect your health with these tips: ✅

🌳 Stay in the shade most of the time.
🧴 Never leave your house without putting on sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and reapply regularly (especially if you're in and out of water).
👕 Wear clothes made out of light fabrics that cover your arms and legs.
👒🕶️ Wear a broad-rimmed hat and sunglasses.
🚰 Avoid dehydration! Learn how at https://gosouthstar.com/health-blog/prevent-summer-dehydration-with-tips-from-southstar-urgent-care/

Stay cool out there, and remember, if the heat gets to you or someone you love, SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices is here to help. Walk in or book online at https://gosouthstar.com/!

☀️ For all of us here at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices, there's nothing like sunny skies to brighten the mood. But when you head outside, don't forget: your eyes need protection from the sun's rays just as much as your skin does! 👀

That's why the American Academy of Ophthalmology made July UV Safety Month! ⚠️ UV exposure can damage the surface of your eyes as well as your corneas and lenses. Cataracts, eye cancers, growths and even blindness can happen as a result.

Don't worry, you don't have to stay in the dark to protect yourself. Just pop on some sunglasses before you head outside! 😎 Here are some other tips to keep those peepers safe:

✅ Be sure to select sunglasses with a 100% UV rating.
🎩 Wear a wide-brimmed hat with your glasses for extra protection.
☁️ Stay protected even when it's hazy or cloudy, which doesn't block UV rays. 🕐 Stay out of the sun when it's strongest at midday-early afternoon.
🚫 Don't look directly at the sun!
🛑 Skip the tanning bed…it's just as bad as outdoor sunlight.

Of course, the sun can wreak havoc on your health and comfort in other ways, too. 🥵 If sunburn, bug bites, rash, dehydration or heat exhaustion, visit us or find the location nearest to you at 📍https://gosouthstar.com/find-a-clinic/.
