We were honoured to be invited by SMJK (C) Union to conduct a talk for their 700 secondary school students on a topic we care deeply about — Emotion Management.

During the one-hour session, Ms. Sandra, our Mental Health Educator, guided the students through:
✔️ Understanding that all emotions are normal and serve a purpose
✔️ Identifying emotional triggers and physical signals
✔️ Learning practical strategies like cognitive reframing and breathwork to regain control

The students were attentive, curious, and participatory. It was empowering to equip them with skills to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence with greater self-awareness and confidence.

A heartfelt thank you to SMJK (C) Union for the invitation. Let’s continue to champion the mental and emotional well-being of our youth!

Did you know watercress, known in Mandarin as xi yang cai, is one of the most nutrient-rich leafy greens? 🥬💧

Rich in vitamin K, calcium, and antioxidants. Find out more health benefits in our infographic!

In Malaysia, we often enjoy it in soups, light, soothing, and full of goodness! It’s also delicious when sautéed with garlic or a touch of ginger for that comforting home-style flavour. 💚

A warm bowl of xi yang cai soup might just be your next go-to for a healthy, balanced meal.

We had a fun and interactive Poke Bowl Contest at Penang Development Corporation! 🥗

Our nutritionist, Ms. Pei Ling, began the session with an introduction to poke bowls, highlighting common “mistakes” people make when choosing or building their bowls and sharing practical tips on portion sizes for the base, proteins, vegetables and fats.

Participants then got hands-on by preparing their own sauces and assembling their own poke bowls! 🥣

To make it even more exciting, we also had a plating contest where everyone showcased their creativity in designing the most colourful and appetising bowls. 🌈✨

A big thank you to all participants for the wonderful energy and enthusiasm! 💪

Is our culture obsessed with happiness actually making us miserable? 😥

We're told to "think positive" and avoid negativity at all costs. But what if this pressure is the very thing hurting our mental health, relationships, and even productivity?

New research shows that overvaluing happiness can set us up for failure, while suppressing "negative" emotions like anger and sadness robs them of their purpose.

Swipe through to learn about the surprising costs of chasing constant happiness and why emotional balance is the real key to well-being. ✨

Penang Adventist Hospital’s Community Health team is proud to have the opportunity to share and educate the staff of Dexcom on the correct techniques for performing breast self-examination in conjunction with Pink October.

We are delighted by the enthusiastic participation during the session, which included hands-on practice using our breast demo set, an interactive Q&A on breast care, and discussions on common myths and facts about breast cancer.

We hope this health education initiative will enhance awareness and encourage early detection of breast cancer as part of our ongoing corporate community outreach efforts.

Our Community Health Ambassador program is growing stronger! We just celebrated the completion of our 19th CHA Training, and it was a fantastic success. 🎉

This new cohort of passionate advocates, joining us from various backgrounds and organisations, dove deep into crucial community health issues. The training covered everything from tackling non-communicable diseases and promoting mental wellness to hands-on skills in basic health screenings and event planning.

We are so incredibly proud of this team and can't wait to see them put their knowledge into action. The future of health advocacy in our community is in brilliant hands! ✨
