Senior Health Update: June Edition of The Good Years

JUNE 2026

Welcome to the June edition of The Good Years, a Healthy Connections Senior Health Update created to help older adults and Medicare patients stay informed, prepared, and connected to care. This month, we are focusing on three practical topics that matter during the summer months: scheduling a midyear health check, staying safe in the Arkansas heat, and protecting independence through healthy aging. Small steps can make a big difference, and Healthy Connections is here to help you stay active, confident, and supported throughout the year.

Is It Time for Your Midyear Health Check?

June is a good time to pause and ask whether you are staying ahead of your health or waiting until something becomes a problem. This article explains why older adults and Medicare patients should consider a midyear check-in, including medication reviews, screenings, chronic condition management, and asking about a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit.


Stay Safe In The Arkansas Heat

Arkansas summers can be hard on your health, especially for older adults, people with chronic conditions, and those taking medications that may affect hydration, sweating, blood pressure, or balance. This article shares practical heat safety tips, warning signs to watch for, and steps seniors can take to stay cooler, safer, and healthier this summer.
