Effective Saturday, May 28, Walk-In Care at ThedaCare Physicians-Shawano will change its weekend hours to Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. Current weekend walk-in hours are 10 am to 6 pm. Weekday hours remain Monday-Friday 8 am to 7 pm. Patients must be registered 15 minutes prior to closing time to be seen that day. Traci Berry, ThedaCare practice administrator in Shawano, said the clinic staff evaluates patient needs based on the time they arrive and register. Having an earlier start time on weekend mornings will better meet patient demand.

Burns commonly happen at home. Touch a hot stove, spill hot water, even natural foods like certain peppers can contain a substance that is irritating to the skin and cause a burning sensation.
Chronic stress is when our bodies do not return to their more relaxed state. Our hearts keep racing, our muscles stay tense, and we breathe quickly, not deeply. A number of essential body functions stay suppressed, like our digestive systems, reproductive organs, and our immunity to infections. Headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger, and irritability can all be caused by stress, and they can lead to more serious diseases like obesity, depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
