A good pair of #shoes won't do the walking for you, but the right fit can make #walking or #running easier. Long hours of sitting can take a toll on both physical and mental health, while even 20 minutes of walking a day can help lower stress and support overall wellness.

It's no magic potion, but drinking enough fluid is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your kidneys healthy. The @nkf says healthy hydration is the "right amount" for your body, not as much as possible. #Hydration #DrinkWater #KidneyHealth #HealthyHabits

For Dr. Henseler, radiology never stands still. As an interventional radiologist, he uses imaging not just to diagnose disease, but to help treat it... bringing advancing technology and patient care together in a very direct way. #InterventionalRadiology #Radiology

When urine can’t drain, painful pressure builds up in your kidneys quickly. Our interventional radiologists use imaging to guide procedures that help relieve the obstruction, protect kidney function, and relieve the pain. #InterventionalRadiology #KidneyHealth #Radiology

Kidney health isn't usually on people’s radars until there’s a problem. Managing blood pressure, staying active, watching sodium, and keeping up with routine care can help protect it over time. #KidneyHealth #PreventiveCare #HealthyHabits

Fatty liver disease is now one of the most common chronic liver conditions. Imaging plays a growing role in detecting it early... and helps us evaluate the degree of liver involvement and monitor changes over time. #AbdominalImaging #BodyRadiology #MASLD #Radiology

Abdominal imaging often provides the first clear answers in a patient’s care journey. MWR board member Dr. Mathew So, specializes in this area and is a member of the Society of Abdominal Radiology #SAR, connecting our team with the latest advances. #Radiology #AbdominalImaging

As imaging technology has improved, pancreatic cysts are being discovered more frequently, often during imaging ordered for something entirely different. That’s why identifying them and deciding what happens next is so important. #AbdominalImaging #BodyRadiology #Radiology

MWR is at the Society of Abdominal Radiology Annual Meeting... and we’re hiring. If you're here and interested in learning more about working in collaborative, subspecialty-driven environment, let's talk! #AbdominalRadiology #SAR26 #RadiologyCareers #RadiologyJobs #Radiology

A new study found that people in a guided exercise program had a 28 percent drop in their risk of colon cancer returning and a 37 percent lower risk of death. This could mean that movement is a key part of the treatment plan. Talk with your care team about it. #ColorectalCancer

When you leave the clinic after a procedure, the best clinical support feels like confidence. Molly Hickey takes time to help her patients understand what’s happening and build a plan to get them back to what they love. And we love that. #MidwestRadiology #PatientCare #Radiology

MRI helps us see what other imaging can’t always show—especially in soft tissues—without using radiation. It’s one of the best tools we have for answering complex questions, guiding the next right step, and making good decisions. #MRI #Radiology #DiagnosticImaging

Colorectal cancer is highly preventable and often curable when caught early. We can save lives by starting conversations sooner, taking symptoms seriously, and making screening more accessible. Have you heard about "virtual" colonoscopy? bit.ly/3kwmGGS #CRC

Colon cancer screening guidelines now start at 45 for average-risk adults. The best test is the one you’ll complete. Talk with your clinician and don’t make it a "tomorrow problem." #Screening #ColorectalCancer #PreventiveCare #EarlyDetection

In the ER, imaging is often the turning point. Dr. Lambert, part of our Neuroradiology and Emergency Radiology teams helps care teams find a certain confidence in high-stakes cases, when time and accuracy both matter. #Neuroradiology #EmergencyRadiology #Radiology

Want a simple rule for good health? If new symptoms show up and don't go away, don’t wave it off. It works for colon cancer. Get screened at 45. If you notice blood, stomach pain, changes in bowel habits, fatigue, or weight loss, see your doctor. #ColorectalCancer

Colorectal cancer is rising in younger adults and declining in older adults. The takeaway? Don’t rely on outdated assumptions. Taking the first step and starting your screenings at 45 helps. #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetection #PreventiveCare #Screening

Cardiac arrest can happen without warning. In that moment, CPR and an AED can keep blood moving and buy time until help arrives. Training is simple. The impact is huge. You might use it only once. And that could mean everything. #CPR #AED #CardiacArrest #HeartHealth

Dr. Reddy helps deliver minimally invasive, image-guided treatments, and she’s also a mom of 3 who loves running, biking, and tennis. Her spouse is also a physician, so healthcare is the family business. We love you, Dr. Reddy! #Radiology #VIR #BetterExperiencesBetterResults

Your cardiac calcium score shows plaque buildup in the arteries. For some, it’s a helpful way to understand risk and decide what to do next, even if you aren't showing any other symptoms. #HeartHealth #CalciumScore #PreventiveCare #KnowYourNumbers #HealthyHeart
