Winter sports can be a blast — but they also come with risks. The CDC reports that snowboarding alone accounts for a quarter of all winter sports accidents, and about 30% of sledding injuries are head-related. Common injuries from winter sports and activities include concussions, shoulder dislocation, knee ligament tears and sprains, strains or fractures from slips and falls.

As you or your family bundle up for fun in the snow or cold, keep these winter safety tips in mind:
❄️ Warm up before hitting the slopes or rink
❄️ Wear proper gear (helmet, gloves, and ankle-supporting footwear)
❄️ Check equipment before use
❄️ Stay hydrated and know your limits

If pain or injury does happen, don’t wait — get checked out by a health care provider so you can get back to enjoying the winter season.

Eliseo Colon, MD, was named Continuing Care Hospital’s 2024 Physician of the Year, an award recognizing his clinical leadership and team-based approach in treating pulmonary and critical care patients. As he makes rounds, he says he explains the “whys” to fellow caregivers and practices Saint Joseph’s values when talking to patients and families.

“Being compassionate. You have to understand the patient. You sit down next to them, you talk to them. You tell the truth—integrity. Also, you’ve got to respect when they make a decision.”

Dr. Colon has been with the Saint Joseph ministry for 15 years and is part of a team of pulmonology specialists, treating many patients with chronic lung diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema and COPD. Lung cancer and to***co use rates in Kentucky are above the national average, something the team tries to combat by offering smoking cessation resources and educating patients on the risks. November is , and while Dr. Colon says it’s frustrating to see patients who smoke or casually use electronic ci******es, he also says it’s rewarding to help patients improve their lives by quitting.

“We have to work on breaking bad habits,” he said. His arsenal includes showing patients the results of their pulmonary function test, X-rays or CT scans. “It’s rewarding to see someone say ‘I quit smoking,’” he said. Read more about Dr. Colon: https://ow.ly/zboG50XtyZa

It’s ! Kindness isn’t just good for others—it’s good for you! 💛 Research shows that showing kindness can:

🌿 Reduce stress, anxiety and depression
😊 Increase happiness and life satisfaction
🤝 Strengthen relationships and community
💪 Even support physical health by lowering stress

And here’s something amazing—kindness is actually contagious. When we witness kindness, we’re more likely to pay it forward. Every small act matters: a smile, a helping hand, a kind word.

Spread a little today—you might just make someone’s day (and improve your own).
