It’s Men’s Health Week — a reminder that your health matters. Men are often more likely to put off preventive care, even though regular checkups and screenings can help detect health concerns early. In fact, nearly one in two men don’t get an annual physical exam.

Preventive care, regular screenings, physical activity, good nutrition and mental well-being all play an important role in staying healthy. Small steps today can make a big difference tomorrow.

Use this checklist as a reminder to prioritize your health and encourage the men in your life to do the same.

During Healthcare Risk Management Week, we recognize our Risk Management team for the important work they do every day to help protect our patients, team members and community.

From supporting patient safety initiatives to reducing organizational risk and promoting a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, their work helps strengthen care across our organization.

We’d also like to give special recognition to two members of the team who earned the Certified Professional in Health Care Risk Management (CPHRM) credential. 👏 This achievement reflects an advanced level of expertise and a strong commitment to healthcare risk management and patient safety.

Thank you, Risk Management team, for all you do to help us care for all, safely.
