#HarrisonHealthHack Kelly from our Vancouver referrals team reminds us of the importance of self-care. Many of our clients, like her, are part of the #sandwichgeneration, caring for both children and aging family members. She advises us to "always fill up your cup," because if you are taking care of others and never looking out for yourself, it can have a huge impact on your relationships and overall health. "As a mother, I've learned that whether it's reading or going for a solo walk, taking the time to do something just for you is crucial, whenever you need it." #TeamTips #StaffEngagement #PreventiveHealthcare #ProactiveHealthHabits

Participating in the #CalgaryCorporateChallenge's team sports events, like soccer, bowling, horseshoes, corn hole, and spike ball, has been an incredible way for colleagues to connect beyond the office walls. These activities promote camaraderie and instill valuable skills such as trust, mutual reliance, and effective communication. Joining in on these sports helps create a space where everyone learns to have each other's backs and work together towards a shared goal, just like we do at work. It's not just about winning; it's about building a strong, connected team that's ready to take on anything that comes our way. #getinthegames #septembergames #calgary #yyc #events #teambuilding #HarrisonWhy

One important benefit for our clients is the Expert Provider Network that extends beyond our walls. This collaborative approach ensures that everyone involved in your care is on the same page, leading to better health outcomes. Clear and consistent communication is key to building an effective community of partners and clinicians. Over many years, we have established a network of reliable and high-quality healthcare providers, ranging from medical specialists to mental health professionals to personal trainers and everything in between. We foster supportive and cohesive relationships that place clients at the center. The advantages of collaborative care outside our facilities are more than coordinated medical care. Reports and care plans from external providers are seamlessly integrated into our clients' primary care plans. We balance the availability of these important resources and carefully match therapeutic relationships to ensure optimal outcomes. With personalization and client interest in mind, we work hard to ensure continuity of care and peace of mind as our clients navigate their healthcare journey. 💙🤗 Learn More at https://hubs.ly/Q02RprJT0 #CareTeam #Compassion #Prevention #ProactiveHealthcare #SpecialistReferrals #ExpertProviderNetwork

#HarrisonHealthHack Nurse Practitioner Amra is passionate about spending her free moments immersed in nature, away from the clinic. "Research indicates that dedicating as little as 20 minutes a day or 2 hours a week to being outdoors can have substantial effects on our physical and mental health. What also impressed me is the positive impact on our immune system—such as the increase in our natural killer cells, which are crucial for eliminating abnormal or cancerous cells and preventing their proliferation. Often, we associate time spent in nature with mood enhancement, but it also sharpens our focus and attention. These moments allow us to engage in mindfulness, to pause and appreciate the beauty of an intriguing tree or a playful squirrel on our next walk." Never hesitate to accept an invitation from a friend for an outdoor stroll; even a brief walk to the store contributes to building your physical and mental resilience. #TeamTips #StaffEngagement #PreventiveHealthcare #ProactiveHealthHabits

Staying nourished during cancer treatment is key, but knowing what to eat can be confusing. This thorough guide breaks down the complex role of autophagy, the body's cellular recycling process, and how it can help patients fight cancer. Research indicates that specific nutritional adjustments can be beneficial for many cancer patients. However, it's essential to create a personalized plan with your healthcare team. Even minor dietary changes have the potential to bring significant effects, and safety should always be the top priority.

#HarrisonHealthHack Sanda, Sr Director of Products and Service shares that she likes to start her day with 2 glasses of water. "It jumpstarts your metabolism and you start burning calories sooner." Plus, it keeps you well hydrated! We recommend getting a big glass or water bottle ready to go before bed so it's right there when you wake up in the morning. #TeamTips #StaffEngagement #PreventiveHealthcare #ProactiveHealthHabits #KeepItSimple
