We help the 280 hospitals, health systems, and continuing care facilities we represent deliver the finest care through #HealthCare advocacy and expertise.
You can’t always prevent or avoid stress. But you can change how you respond to it. You may feel better – and have a healthier heart, too! #OurHearts

Take a moment for yourself. Mindful meditation and relaxation techniques can help control stress, which helps keep #OurHearts healthy.

Last week we explored how to raise awareness about AMR and highlight the benefits of a "One Health" approach that connects human, animal, and environmental health. Many thanks to Karen Ann Alroy, Medical Epidemiologist @nychealthy.bsky.social, for sharing her expertise and to everyone who attended.

Devoting some time every day to care for yourself can go a long way toward protecting your heart and health. Self-care – like moving more, preparing healthier meals, getting enough quality sleep, and taking a moment to de-stress – helps your heart. #HeartMonth

January is National Blood Donor Month! Did you know that only 3% of eligible Americans donate blood, despite 65% being able to? Let's change that statistic. Be a lifesaver, donate blood! #NBDM

Did you know that 1 in every 83 deliveries requires a blood transfusion? Blood transfusions play a vital role in health care, with 42,000+ units of blood products given daily to patients in need. Donate blood this National Blood Donor Month and throughout the year! #NBDM

Join us in celebrating National Blood Donor Month! Did you know that a single donation can save multiple lives? Your decision to donate can be transformative – be a hero and make a difference today! #NBDM

We’re grateful to America's 7 million annual blood donors, the unsung heroes who save lives every day. Your generosity and compassion make a world of difference. Thank you for giving the gift of life! #NBDM
