Unscramble Skwibble

Ever met Skwibble? He’s a Grouchie: Those annoying, little characters you’ll sometimes find when you’re trying to get urgent care, a blood test, or an X-ray. Skwibble, in particular, is the mascot of confusing healthcare bills. But you won’t see him at Gateway Hancock Health (or anywhere in our healthcare system). We keep Skwibble and his mates at bay by making sure the care we’re providing is quick, convenient, and affordable. Not only that, when you come to Gateway, you’ll get one easy-to-understand bill per visit. Learn about Skwibble here.

Listen up, sweetie: There’s nothing healthy about refined sugar, which you’ll get a lot of in lots of processed drinks and foods. Still, there’s something so tempting, even addictive, about those white granules. The situation presents a conundrum for most people. But our award-winning website, HealthPossible.org, can help with advice on which sugars to remove from your diet and what you can include in moderation.

Want a surgery drink? How about something else?

Diabetic? There are sweet treats for you!

Love chocolate? Enjoy it in moderation.
