The week offered something for everyone – from arts and crafts sessions to music workshops, alongside therapeutic time with our Dogtors and rejuvenating sound bath sessions.

It's easy to get caught up in the daily hustle, and Staff Wellness week was a great reminder to slow down and take care of ourselves.

Here's to prioritising wellness every day – when we're at our best, we can give our best! 💙

🌟KKH hosted "𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩" last Saturday at One Punggol – a meaningful community event held in conjunction with SG60, dedicated to promoting women's and children's wellness.

It was truly inspiring to see families come together for a day of learning and connection! From insightful talks with healthcare experts to interactive booths covering parenting tips and health education, there was something valuable for the whole family.

Thanks to Senior Minister of State Dr Janil Puthucheary and Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong for gracing the occasion, and grateful to our distinguished guests, supporting institutions, community partners, dedicated staff, volunteers, and all the families who participated – you made this day truly memorable.

As we celebrate SG60 together, we reaffirm our shared commitment to shaping a healthier future for our community and generations to come. 🩷🩵
