Coping with grief during the holidays 

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Spending your first holiday season without a loved one is hard, and the grieving process looks different for everyone. Although nothing can ever replace their presence, try some of these strategies to alleviate your heartache this time of year.  

Honor your loved one

Celebrating the life of your loved one can be done in a multitude of ways. Have their picture out during your family gathering. Light a candle in their honor. Make a toast or say a prayer. Ask members of your gathering to share special memories of your loved one. These are all meaningful ways to honor their life and feel their presence during your holiday get-together.

Ask for help if you need it

Be an advocate for yourself. If you need a shoulder to cry on, call a friend or family member and tell them. If you need space and time alone, that’s okay too. Communicating your needs will let your loved ones know how to best support you in this time of need.

Give yourself grace

With all this said, you know your mind and body better than anyone. If you aren’t feeling up to decorating the tree or carrying out your holiday traditions, don’t. Pay attention to what feels right for you.

Take care of yourself

Extreme stress, like the kind brought on by grief, can worsen existing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. According to Harvard Health Publishing, up to 50% of surviving spouses experience depression in the months following their spouse’s death. If you feel your health is deteriorating, seek advice from a healthcare professional.

If someone you know is grieving during the holidays, take time to check in on them. Ask them what they need, respect their boundaries and be there to listen. Knowing you care and are there for them can make the grieving process a little more bearable.

    Genesis is a Top 100 Hospital in the nation for the second year in a row

    Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

    When you bring exceptional people together who are committed to a cause, provide them with innovative technology and community support and continuously pursue excellence, you are rewarded with amazing results.  

     

    In 2022, Genesis was named a Top 100 Hospital in the nation and Everest award winner by Fortune Magazine. Recently, for the second year in a row, Genesis was named a Top 100 Hospital in the nation and an Everest award winner by Fortune Magazine/PINC AI. Only 51 hospitals from the 2022 Top 100 list repeated in 2023. In addition to this tremendous accomplishment, earlier this year, Genesis was also recognized as a Top 50 Heart Hospital in the nation by Fortune Magazine/PINC AI.  

     

    “The entire Genesis team is genuinely honored to receive these national awards,” said Matt Perry, CEO of Genesis HealthCare System. “We have spent years bringing together the best people, implementing the latest technologies and continually striving for excellence in the care of our patients. Our dedicated team of compassionate care givers earned these awards, and I am proud of what they have accomplished.”  

     

    Community support is as crucial as the healthcare team and technology for producing patient care outcomes that result in national recognition. “We are very blessed that our community entrusts their care to the exceptional team at Genesis. It is only through community support that we can remain a thriving health system,” said Perry.  

     

    The Top 100 award was created so hospitals and the communities they serve have nationally verified, transparent data to evaluate performance against other hospitals and health systems. The Everest Award recognizes hospitals and health systems that achieve the highest improvement rates over a five-year period.  

     

    The Top 100 award evaluates hospitals across the most vital categories of hospital performance:   

    • Clinical Quality: Inpatient mortality, complications of care, infection rates, 30-day mortality and 30-day readmission rates.
    • Patient Experience: patient satisfaction survey results.
    • Hospital efficiency: patient length of stay, inpatient expense per admission and financial results.

     

    According to Fortune/PINC AI, if all hospitals performed at the level of the Top 100 hospitals: 

    • More than 272,000 additional lives would be saved.
    • More than 432,000 additional patients would avoid complications. 

    • $15.7 billion in inpatient costs would be saved.

    Choosing the right moisturizer for you

    Submitted by emily.griffin on

    One of the most important steps in your skincare routine is moisturizer. A good moisturizer can help prevent dry skin and keep your skin healthy and soft. There are a variety of different moisturizers available that serve different purposes. If you choose one that isn’t right for you, it can leave your skin as dry as before or just plain greasy. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. By making a few simple tweaks, you can make your moisturizer work for you. 

     

    Choose which moisturizer is best for your skin type 

    If you find yourself panicking in the skincare aisle at your local drugstore and grabbing the first thing that looks like it might work, you’re not alone. With so many options, it can be challenging to figure out what you need. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, here are some common types of moisturizers and which skin types they may work best for:  

    • Gel: Often water-based and tends to feel lighter on the skin than a lotion. This option is best for people with oily skin.

    • Cream: Thicker and has higher oil content than a lotion and gel, making it more hydrating. This option is best for people with dry skin and people older than age 50. 

    • Ointment: The thickest of all, making it the most effective in remedying dry skin. This option is best for people with very dry skin. 

     

    Switch it up if it isn’t working 

    Now that you have your new moisturizer, how do you know it’s working? Watch for these signs when trying a new moisturizer: 

    • If your skin is irritated, burning or discolored, stop using your moisturizer and try a different one. 

    • If your skin is smooth, hydrated and feels comfortable, keep using it. Over time, if you notice your skin clearing up, this is a sign that your moisturizer is working.  

     

    Have chronically dry or oily skin? Check with your primary care physician or dermatologist to determine the right fit for you.
