In recognition of Thyroid Awareness Month, this episode of Here’s to Your Health focuses on the importance of understanding thyroid health and recognizing when something may feel “off.”
Brandi Ruskell, Marketing Specialist at Crawford County Memorial Hospital, is joined by Sara Gaul, RN, who works closely with visiting endocrinology specialists in CCMH’s Specialty Clinic. While not an endocrinology specialist, Sara offers valuable insight from her experience supporting patients through thyroid-related visits and helping them navigate next steps in care.
During the episode, Sara discusses common symptoms patients often report, why thyroid conditions can sometimes go undiagnosed, and why talking with a primary care provider is an important first step for anyone with concerns. The conversation highlights the role of awareness, early evaluation, and coordinated care in supporting thyroid health.
