Steal this health habit from our health educators 🥤💧 Keep your water bottle close, sip often, and feel the difference!

Water plays a critical role in your body every day, helping to:
✅ Regulate body temperature
✅ Remove toxins and waste
✅ Deliver nutrients where they’re needed

Keeping your water bottle nearby makes it easier to sip throughout the day.

Don’t forget your water bottle. Your body will thank you.

Things I’d never do as a health educator…
❌ Forget to move.

Dani, one of our health educators, explains why daily movement always matters and why every little bit counts.

We’re aiming for 150 minutes of movement a week, but you get to choose how you get there.
Even 2 minutes with an elevated heart rate counts 💥

A walk, stretching, dancing, chasing kids. It all adds up.

So let’s check in 👇
How many minutes of movement have you completed this week?

Knowing where to go for care matters. Virtual Care, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Department depending on your symptoms. 💙
