What is healthy living?
And, can we better embrace a community devoted to good health?
Hospitals contribute only a fraction to the health of our communities – an important fraction, but a fraction nevertheless.
Healthy eating, lowering stress, education, exercise and sense of purpose can all be more determinative of how long and how well we live. We have known this for years, but contemporary medicine is only now waking up to the concept of healthy living in ways that were unthinkable a few years ago.
What new integrative concepts have been adopted by our hospital that take us to a new level of healing? The hospital’s role is not just about healing but now prevention and follow-up care to keep our community healthy.
What questions and concerns do you have about your health care in the future?
We need your voice! Get a chance to finally network with hospital officials and community resources.
