The nurses at Community Hospital Anderson have spent an entire year preparing the gift of comfort and joy for patients who have to spend Christmas in the hospital. They raised money, chose a soft and colorful fleece, and spent months hand‑making blankets filled with warmth and love. ❤️

And on Christmas Day—when most people are home with family—many of the nurses come in on their own time just to place these blankets into patients’ hands.

Watch the video for more on this labor of love:

Have you ever heard of Holiday Heart Syndrome? This is an irregular heartbeat caused by excess drinking.

Mix that with stress or dehydration, and you could experience atrial fibrillation (AFib) — a heart rhythm disorder. Being aware and knowing the warning signs is important, but you can prevent Holiday Heart Syndrome altogether. Limiting how much alcohol you drink and pacing out your drinks can reduce your risk and keep your holidays healthy.
