Don't Let Holiday Blues Get You Down
The holiday season should be a time of joy, cheer and friendly gatherings…not loneliness and pain. It’s often difficult to know where to turn if you or a person you care about is experiencing depression, anxiety, substance abuse or other emotional problems. If you’re not sure where to turn, Sarasota Memorial’s Bayside Center for Behavioral Health can help. Licensed therapists are on call 24 hours a day to provide free assessments. Our therapists and case managers can work with you to offer the best course of action to meet your or your families’ emotional and financial needs. Call 941-917-7760 for information.

CT-Guided Biopsies: Quality Care Begins With a Quality Diagnosis
A definite diagnosis of cancer is almost always based on a biopsy of cell or tissue 
samples. Many biopsies are performed surgically if the suspicious area is located near the surface of the body. If, however, a suspected tumor is located deep inside the body, Sarasota Memorial also offers CT-guided biopsies, which allow physicians to peer inside the body – without the need for surgery – while providing enhanced images that can help determine whether a tumor is isolated or presents risks of malignancy. To learn more, call Sarasota Memorial’s HealthLine at 941-917-7777.
