French Hospital Medical Center Foundation

Did you know we can train ourselves to experience more joy? Here are some ways you can develop this important element of overall well-being: 1. Pause to feel the breeze on your skin or listen to a bird chirping. 2. Reflect on what you are thankful for.... 3. Commit to being wholly present, aware of your body, feelings, and thoughts.

With the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, we wish to take a moment to share our tremendous, heartfelt gratitude with our health care heroes and staff for all that they are doing for our community. Thank you for your bravery, dedication, compassion and for caring for our community.

Together, we can go beyond what is expected of a regional hospital and provide the world-class care our community deserves. How will you go Beyond Health with French Hospital Medical Center? Tap the link below to learn how you can get involved today. #BeyondHealth www.gobeyondhealth.org

Make a New Year’s Resolution that’s easy to keep and makes a big impact. Resolve to be more mindful by taking a couple of minutes every day to check in with yourself. Take a deep breath. Rest your eyes. Your brain will thank you! #mindfulnessmonday

The holidays can be joyful but also stressful. For #MindfulnessMonday, here are four tips for de-stressing from the Johns Hopkins Mindfulness Program: 1. Accept imperfection. Even if things don’t go according to plan, make the best of it. 2. Don’t lose sight of what really counts. 3. Respond with kindness. Compassion is a wonderful medicine. 4. Be kind to yourself!

At French Hospital we are committed to the Beyond Health movement because it will enable us to bring Your New French Hospital to our community. We will set the standard for excellent outcomes for every patient. So, no matter where that next turn takes you, we will be there to provide the compassionate care that we always have. #BeyondHealth www.gobeyondhealth.org
