Easy self-care is more effective than emergency healthcare every time. Preventative health should be easy, accessible, and sustainable so it can make an impact that lasts.

Telehealth use is stabilizing because it serves important patient needs. In a recent study, patients who spoke a language other than English had a “substantially higher” baseline use of telehealth. https://t.co/zlH5uOVKDJ

Taking care of ourselves is a professional choice just as much as a personal one. To make important decisions, leaders need good rest, balance, and consistency in their health so they act and speak with confidence.

February is National Heart Month. Linked below are a few steps you can take to improve your heart health this year. The more we do to live healthy lives in any small way, the bigger impact it leaves on our overall long-term health. https://t.co/3AjcyXs5Zp

Food insecurity is central to the health and dignity of our people, and it reflects our values as a nation. Let’s keep building systems that are not only responsive but regenerative. That’s how we create healthier futures, for everyone.

Shoutout to @American_Heart for highlighting the importance of mindful eating. This isn't about restricting yourself from eating. It's about listening to your body and what it needs. When we center ourselves in our bodies, our eating habits tend to become healthier.

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

Mindful eating doesn’t mean dieting or restrictions. It’s about taking a moment to take it in. Really paying attention to the food you eat and the way your body feels could help you eat healthier, with more appreciation and intention. Make every meal a practice of awareness with these five tips.

This Labor Day, I've been reflecting on this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His words speak to something I deeply believe: work has dignity when it uplifts humanity.

Healthy employees are the foundation of a thriving organization. That’s why I’m excited to welcome Employers Choice as a new partner at ProVention Health. Their approach is a smart, practical way for employers to invest in prevention while reducing costs: That's a win-win!

#FoodInsecurity is more than hunger; it’s #ChronicStress, tough choices, and deepening #health disparities. Solving it takes #resilient systems: local food networks, protected benefits, and #communities ready to adapt, connect, and thrive. #FoodIsHealth

Blending art with #PublicHealth transforms #communities. Creative expression through murals, music, or theater can heal, inspire, and connect. It breaks barriers, fosters #resilience, and makes #health messages resonate. Creativity is a tool for #change. https://t.co/2EwE7b2bH9

Today is #NationalNonprofitDay, and I can’t help but reflect on the journey that led me to found ProVention Health Foundation. It has required persistence, patience, and a deep belief in the mission. It's not easy, but the work we do makes it all worth it. @HealthProv

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

@bobjherman Thanks for sharing this news, Bob. If we want EVERYONE to have a fair shot at preventing chronic disease and staying healthy, we need to ensure that those most vulnerable have access to the most aid.

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

But prevention isn’t just about what you do every day. It’s also about what you don’t ignore. Routine checkups help catch issues early when they’re easiest to treat. Skipping them can mean missing the chance to prevent something small from becoming something serious.

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

@jakescottMD So well said. There are some small lifestyle changes that anyone can make. But there are others that are deeply tied to privilege and access. And many people lack access because our healthcare system is so inequitable.

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

A healthy diet is one of the most important lifestyle choices we can make for good #HeartHealth! Shoutout to @American_Heart for sharing some healthy meal tips.

So, here's how to wash your hands like a pro:
👉 Use soap and water
👉 Scrub for at least 20 seconds (sing "Happy Birthday" twice!)
👉 Get the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails
👉 Dry with a clean towel or air dry

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

When we talk about preventing chronic disease, most people think of diet, exercise, and sleep, and those are all critical. But today, I want to highlight a habit so simple, we often overlook it: washing your hands. 🧵

[John Robitscher @JohnRobitscher]

It may not sound groundbreaking, but consistent, proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections that can trigger or worsen chronic conditions, especially for people with compromised immune systems or pre-existing health issues.
