How to celebrate

Small, doable ways to celebrate National Hospital Week.

  • Take one step — a walk, a glass of water, one better meal.
  • Schedule the appointment you've been meaning to book.
  • Go to bed 30 minutes earlier.
  • Check in with one person whose health you've been worried about.
  • Move your body in a way that feels good, not punishing.
