Today we celebrate freedom, family, and the brave individuals — past and present — who make it all possible. We're especially grateful for the healthcare heroes who continue caring for others, even on the holidays. ❤️

👩‍⚕️💡 Fun Fact: During the American Revolutionary War, nurses played a crucial role in military hospitals — often volunteering without pay — and their efforts laid the foundation for nursing as a recognized profession in the U.S. 💪🏽 we wish you a safe, happy, and hydrated holiday! 💦☀️

With the temps rising, it's more important than ever to stay on top of your hydration—especially if you're spending time outside or on the go! Dehydration can creep up fast and lead to fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and even more serious health issues.

🔹 Did you know?

By the time you feel thirsty, you're already mildly dehydrated.

Dehydration can affect your mood, memory, and coordination.

Even mild dehydration (1–2% of body weight) can impair physical performance.

💡 Tips to stay hydrated:
✅ Carry a refillable water bottle with you
✅ Add fruit (like lemon, cucumber, or berries) to make water more refreshing
✅ Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and lettuce
✅ Set a reminder to drink water every hour
✅ Avoid sugary and caffeinated drinks—they can make you more dehydrated!

Happy Juneteenth!
Today, we honor the legacy of freedom, resilience, and progress. On June 19, 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation—enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that freedom was delayed, but not denied. We celebrate Black history, culture, and the ongoing fight for equity and justice.

At First Day Homecare, we remain committed to listening, learning, and fostering a workplace—and a world—where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Happy Freedom Day! 🖤❤️💚💛

At First Day Homecare, we believe healthcare is a human right—no matter your gender identity or sexual orientation. During Pride Month and every month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ clients, families, and staff.

Unfortunately, the need for advocacy remains. A 2020 survey found that 8% of LGB individuals and 29% of transgender individuals reported being denied healthcare outright because of their identity. That is unacceptable.

We are committed to creating a safe, affirming space where every person feels respected, seen, and cared for. Your health matters. Your identity matters. You matter.
