For most people -- especially youth and young adults -- a smartphone is everything. It’s a way to talk, text, take photos, play games, listen to music, read the news, and more. Now, the iPhone
Health app features a helpful medical tool: the Medical ID.
The Medical ID shows important health-related information from the user. It is easy to set up and can be accessed by anyone in the
event of an emergency.
Click here for instructions on how to set up your smartphone with your Medical ID: https://www.gottransition.org/resource/?setting-up-medical-id-smartphones

The New Year is often a time to bring our focus back to our health and well-being. While most people make resolutions to eat healthier foods and move their bodies more*, there are many other opportunities for us to live a healthier lifestyle as well as look and feel better in 2023.

====================

(1) Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to a weakened immune system, poor performance in school or work, and even an increased risk for certain chronic diseases. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night - and talk to your doctor about how the Sturgis Hospital Sleep Lab can help if you struggle with waking up well-rested.

(2) Manage stress levels: It is important to recognize the signs of stress and manage them in healthy ways. Signs of stress can vary from person to person so talk to your doctor about any symptoms you may have. Yoga, meditation, exercise, art, journaling – there's a wide variety of ways to help release stress and feel more relaxed so get curious and find what works for you.

(3) Take care of your mental health: Just like your physical health, your mental health is a vital part of your overall well-being. Local services like Community Mental Health of St. Joseph County can assist in connecting you with care providers to assist with any mental health needs you may have.

(4) Stay up-to-date on health screenings: Sturgis Hospital continues to provide health screenings for the community as part of our commitment to hometown healthcare services. Contact the Sturgis Hospital for more information.

(5) Reduce sitting and screen time: While online entertainment can be a relaxing part of a balanced lifestyle, we often don't realize just how much time we're spending being sedentary while online. There are a variety of apps that can help you manage your screen time and remind you to get up and move!

====================

* Please remember to always consult your physician when making any changes to your diet or physical activity.
