For many older adults, mental health was not something people talked about openly.

Today, we know that speaking up about emotional well-being is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It can also be a proactive way to manage stress, build coping skills, and improve quality of life.

Support is a tool for living well at every age.

Pershing Health System's Senior Life Solutions supports older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. A fresh start can begin anytime. We are here when you need us.

🌟 Celebrating National Social Work Month! 🌟

March is National Social Work Month, and we are proud to recognize Heather Wood for the compassion and support she brings to patients and families at Pershing Health System. Heather has been part of the PHS family for 13 years, helping patients navigate important healthcare decisions and connecting them with the resources they need.

As our Social Worker, Heather plays a key role in assisting patients with services such as the Swing Bed Program, discharge planning, advance directives, and Medicare guidance—ensuring patients feel supported every step of the way from hospital to home.

When asked what she loves most about working at PHS, Heather shared:
💬 “I enjoy being able to advocate for our patients and being able to serve the community I grew up in. When you walk through the door at Pershing, there is an atmosphere of family helping family as a worker and as a patient. At Pershing our community and the patients we serve are the first priority. It is rare to work for a facility that is not only willing to identify a community need, but work on finding a viable lasting resolution.”

Please join us in celebrating Heather and thanking her for the difference she makes in the lives of our patients and community every day! 💙

🌙 Sleep Awareness Week (March 8–14)

Do you wake up feeling tired even after a full night of sleep?
Severe snoring, interrupted sleep, fatigue, or irritability can be signs of sleep apnea or insomnia.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to talk with your doctor about a sleep study.

💤 What Happens During a Sleep Study?

A sleep study is a simple, pain-free way to learn more about your sleep health.

✔️ No needles, no pain
✔️ Comfortable and easy to tolerate
✔️ Sensors track brain waves, heart rate, movement, and oxygen levels while you sleep
✔️ A trained technician monitors your study overnight and is there if you need assistance
✔️ Results are reviewed by a qualified physician for accurate diagnosis and treatment

Most Common Sleep Disorders We See:

• Sleep Apnea – loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, mood changes
• Chronic Insomnia – trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
• Periodic Leg Movement Syndrome – uncomfortable sensations and urge to move legs while resting

📍 Stay close to home—get your sleep study at the Pershing Health System Sleep Lab in Brookfield.

📞 Call 660-258-1169 to schedule.

⏰ Daylight Saving Time Begins This Weekend! ⏰

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour on Sunday as Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 am. While gaining more evening daylight is nice, losing an hour of sleep can temporarily affect our bodies.

When our clocks change, it can disrupt our internal body clock (circadian rhythm). You might notice feeling more tired than usual, having trouble falling asleep, or feeling a little less focused for a few days.

Here are a few tips to help your body adjust:

🌙 Go to bed a little earlier the night before the time change.
☀️ Get morning sunlight to help reset your internal clock.
🚶 Stay active during the day to boost energy levels.
📵 Limit screens before bedtime to help your body wind down.
☕ Avoid caffeine late in the day so it doesn’t interfere with sleep.

Most people adjust within a few days, but giving your body a little extra care during the transition can make a big difference.

💙 Prioritizing good sleep habits helps support your overall health and well-being.

💙 When you have this many amazing employees, it’s easy to miss a smiling face or two!
We appreciate our PHS team so much that we’re posting our Employee Appreciation Reel again—this time with a few more of our wonderful people included. Thank you to every member of the PHS family for all you do for our patients and community!
