Health is Wealth! 💎✨ We couldn’t agree more. This week, we’re excited to introduce Azrina Azim from Strategy Office, Karen Tan from Ops & Facility, and Dr Jessica Choo from Cataract & Comprehensive Ophthalmology. Discover how these inspiring colleagues embrace wellness and self-care in their daily lives!

Azrina finds happiness in small pockets of ‘me-time’, whether it’s reflecting on her day, practicing gratitude, pampering herself at home, or experimenting with a new recipe. These simple rituals help her recharge and stay positive. 🧘‍♀️💖

Karen’s self-care journey is full of rhythm and adventure! She loves Argentine tango, deejaying, and rock climbing. 🎶🧗‍♀️For her, tango is more than just a dance, it’s like a conversation where music allows her to express herself and her emotions.💃

Dr Jessica Choo unwinds through exercise, especially spinning (indoor cycling). She finds it’s the perfect cardio workout, combining great music and uplifting vibes to help her relax and stay energised. 🚴‍♀️🎵✨

We hope these self-care stories inspire you to try something new! What are YOUR favourite ways to recharge and care for yourself? Share them with us in the comments below! 💓

Last week, we marked Kindness Day with a simple reminder to slow down and appreciate one another. 💛

Our colleagues took a meaningful break to explore self-love and kindness through fun activities like tossing games and memory challenges. They also penned heartfelt notes of appreciation to one another, spreading positivity across the workplace.

To top it off, we indulged in delicious treats like Tako balls and Chendol while enjoying quality time catching up with one another.

There were also small gifts such as aroma diffusers and painting sets for staff to unwind and recharge.

Kindness truly goes a long way. 💛

Are you struggling with persistent eyelid issues that just won't go away?

Join us for an educational Saturday morning webinar hosted by the Oculoplastic Department at SNEC where our eye specialists will share their expert insights on common eyelid conditions such as droopy eyelids, excessive tearing, and eyelid lumps which can affect both our comfort and vision.

Our eyelids play a vital role in protecting our eyes. Each blink helps to sweep away debris and spread moisture across the eye’s surface. However, when eyelid disorders occur, they can lead to discomfort or even interfere with our vision. Learn how to recognise these conditions early and explore available treatment options from our specialists.

Details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, 15 November 2025

Time: 9.30am - 10.30am

Beyond Sight, Towards Inclusion 💙

SNEC and SG Assist co-organised the inaugural Vision Beyond Sight event, a national awareness initiative aimed at building an inclusive future together by bringing healthcare, social services, and community partners together to support persons with visual impairment in Singapore.

Held at Gardens by the Bay in conjunction with SNEC’s 35th anniversary and supported by VisionSave, the event was graced by Ms Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information & Ministry of Health this morning.

The event was filled with meaningful activities that encouraged understanding and inclusion. Participants experienced what it’s like to live with visual impairment through hands-on simulations, while educational workshops shared practical tips on eye health, caregiving, and preventing common eye diseases. Businesses were also encouraged to champion inclusive hiring and create more accessible workplaces.

A key highlight was the launch of Singapore’s first one-stop Low Vision Portal, an inclusive digital platform that helps persons with visually impairment and their caregivers access resources, support schemes, and information with ease.

Together, we’re shaping a future where everyone can live with dignity, independence, and connection. 💙
