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

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.
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.

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
@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.
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.
@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.
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:

👉 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
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. 🧵
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.
