Take Care of Yourself
to Provide the Best Care
The well-being of hospital staff is an essential part of providing quality patient care.
Hospital staff play an essential role in caring for patients every day. But before we can fully care for others, taking care of our own health is equally important and should never be overlooked.
Small, consistent changes in our daily habits can make a meaningful difference and help build better health in the long term.
5 Simple Ways
to Take Care of Yourself
Start with small habits that can easily become part of everyday life.
Eat Well
Choose a balanced diet from all five food groups. Add more fruits and vegetables, reduce sugar, fat and salt, and avoid drinks that are high in sugar.
Move More
Look for opportunities to stay active throughout the day. Walk more, take the stairs, stretch during work, and exercise regularly.
Get Enough Rest
Create a healthy balance between work and rest. Aim for quality sleep so your body and brain have enough time to recover and recharge.
Care for Your Mind and Body
Pay attention to your stress and emotions. Make time to rest, enjoy activities you love, and talk to someone or ask for help when things start to feel overwhelming.
Know Your Health
Have age-appropriate health checkups and monitor your weight, waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol to identify potential health risks and support early prevention.
HPH Starts with “You”
When hospital staff take care of their own health, the benefits go beyond themselves. Healthy staff can share positive energy with colleagues, patients and their families.
Take a Moment to Ask Yourself
We may spend most of our time caring for patients and the people around us, sometimes forgetting to turn our attention back to ourselves.
