River View NIKE Club Donates to Genesis HealthCare System
The River View High School NIKE Club donated $363.50 to Genesis HealthCare System for the Genesis Cancer Care Center. The money was raised by NIKE Club students selling donuts and hot chocolate in the high school. The fundraiser was organized by Adara Birkhimer, a junior at River View and member of the NIKE Club, which is a group of female students who support and empower each other.
“We are grateful for the River View NIKE Club’s donation that will be used toward patients’ supplies,” said Pebbles Thornton, Director of Genesis Cancer, Palliative Medicine and Hospice Services. “It is inspiring to see students who care about cancer patients have the initiative and dedication to raise the funds.”

Recognizing Depression
Occasional sadness is a normal part of life. We all experience things that upset us or make us angry. However, if you or someone you care for is persistently sad, irritable or angry, you or they could be suffering from depression.
What is depression?
Depression is a common and serious medical illness. Also known as major depressive disorder, it negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, if you, a family member or friend report the following for more than two weeks, a visit to a doctor is a good idea.
-
Feeling sad, anxious or empty
-
Feeling hopeless or pessimistic
-
Feeling irritable, frustrated or restless
-
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
-
Feeling tired all the time or feeling like you are moving slowly
-
Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
-
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or sleeping too much
-
Changes in appetite or unplanned weight changes
-
Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts
-
Aches or pains, headaches, cramps or digestive problems without a clear physical cause and that do not ease with treatment
Next steps
Untreated depression can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease the ability to function at work and at home.
If you’re concerned that you or someone close to you is depressed, you’re not alone. Let your primary care provider know what you are thinking and feeling, and urge your family and friends to do the same.

Take Time to Reflect
Do you feel like something in your life is off, but you’re not sure what? Maybe you feel like your brain is racing all the time. If you think of thoughts and feelings like these as warning signs, learning to practice reflection is a holistic approach to bettering your overall health.
What is reflection?
Reflection looks like different things to different people. Some people call it mindfulness. Maybe it’s thoughts of gratitude. Reflection can be a mantra you repeat. It can be a time to focus on your breathing. If you’d like, it can be an affirmation of your faith or prayer. What’s important is you take time for yourself. Take a step back from your ongoing tasks. Turn your attention to yourself. Listening deeply to your mind, body and soul comes with many health benefits.
What are the benefits?
Researchers at the University of Cambridge found that learning to pause and reflect can reduce anxiety, depression and stress. Taking five to 10 minutes to reflect has physical benefits as well. According to the Journal of the American Heart Association, calming meditation may play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease. With these facts alone, you may be ready to jump into this practice.
How can you reflect?
Sit quietly with your eyes closed. Start to inhale and exhale deeply. Relax your muscles. Settle your body and mind. Begin your reflection for the day. This can be as simple as one word: peace, love or kindness. You can recite a prayer. Ask yourself a question. No matter your focus, try to center your thoughts around only that. If your mind starts to wander, take another deep inhale. Bring your thoughts back to your reflection. Give yourself grace. This requires practice. You will get better in time.
When you first begin practicing, you may feel uncomfortable with silence. If you normally put others’ needs ahead of your own, it can feel strange. Set aside any bad feelings. Remember, to serve others, you must also tend to your needs. Your body and mind will thank you.
As always, talk with your primary care provider if you are experiencing any health issues.

Recipe: Insta Pot Lentil Soup
Ingredients:
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 medium yellow onion, diced
-
4 medium carrots, diced
-
3 stalks celery, diced
-
4 sprigs fresh thyme
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 ½ cups French green lentils
-
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
-
1 can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced (15 ounces)
-
1 can crushed tomatoes (15 ounces)
-
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
-
Fresh parsley for serving, chopped
-
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, optional
-
Crusty bread, optional
Instructions:
Drizzle the oil into the pot. Set to sauté. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and stir. Continue to cook the onion, stirring often, until it is very soft, beginning to lightly brown and break down, about 8 minutes.
Dice carrots and celery and add to the pot. Sauté until the carrots and celery are barely soft, about 2 minutes. Bundle the thyme sprigs together to make them easier to pull out later. Add salt, smoked paprika and pepper.
Add the lentils and garlic to the pot and stir to coat them in the spices. Let cook 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Cover and seal the instant pot. Set to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, then allow the cooker to release pressure naturally. This will take about 10 to 15 additional minutes.
Open the lid and stir the soup. Remove the thyme stems, leaving the leaves in the soup. If the soup is too thick for your liking, thin with a bit of water or additional stock until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of parsley, Parmesan cheese and bread for dipping.
