📣 March is National Athletic Training Month!

👏 We’re excited to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible athletic trainers who serve our OSF HealthCare communities.

🏈 ⚾ From providing coverage for local secondary schools and universities to supporting physicians and caring for patients in our orthopedic clinic, our athletic trainers make a meaningful impact every day. Their expertise keeps student‑athletes safe, helps patients return to the activities they love, and strengthens the overall health of the people we serve.🥎 🏀

A major part of our outreach includes our partnership with the IHSA. Through this collaboration, our athletic trainers provide medical coverage for numerous state championship events at both the middle school and high school levels. They also support the State Farm Holiday Classic—one of the largest high school basketball tournaments in the country.

💙 National Athletic Training Month is the perfect time to celebrate this essential profession and the dedicated individuals behind it.

Thank you to our athletic trainers for your commitment, compassion, and service. We appreciate you and the way you serve with the greatest care and love!

☀️⏰ Losing an hour this weekend? You may feel it.

😵 “Springing forward” can throw off your body’s natural rhythm.

Try this:
🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night leading up to the change
📱 Limit screens before bed
🌞 Get morning sunlight
😌 Keep your routine consistent

Small changes help your body adjust faster.

👶 And don’t forget the kids! Start moving their bedtime earlier now to avoid extra cranky mornings.

A bedtime routine can help children get the sleep they need, but at least twice a year, that schedule gets disrupted.

🫀 When it comes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tempo matters.

The American Red Cross recommends a compression rate of 100 - 120 beats per minute, about the rhythm of songs like “Stayin’ Alive.”

Knowing the right beat could make a difference in an emergency.
