New Year, Fresh Fuel 🥕✨

A new year doesn’t mean a complete overhaul—just a fresh start. Adding more fruits, veggies, and whole foods to your plate can support energy, immunity, and overall well-being all year long.
Small changes today can lead to healthier habits tomorrow.

Cold weather and early sunsets can make movement tough, but staying active is one of the best ways to support your health this winter.

🏃‍♀️ Even 10–15 minutes of walking, stretching, or indoor movement can boost energy and mood.
🧤 Bundle up and get outside when you can — a quick walk in the fresh winter air can make a big difference.
💪 Small steps add up and help you feel your best through the holiday season.

Let’s keep moving this winter! ❄️💙

Bone density screening is recommended for women 65 years of age and older, women under the age of 65 who have certain risk factors, and men who have certain risk factors. Ask your provider if screening is right for you and if you can benefit from a bone health consult.

Recently, Amanda and Abby, nurses on our Medical/Surgical Unit, went above and beyond in the most unexpected way—by surprising a patient with a favorite food: lobster! 🦞

The patient wanted to go out to eat to get lobster to celebrate a birthday. When Amanda and Abby learned that it wouldn’t be possible, they treated the patient to lobster for a birthday lunch. The patient was all smiles!

We’re grateful for nurses like Amanda and Abby who go the extra mile—and then some. 🩺🦞💙
