While today is normally a day where people would ditch their New Year’s resolutions, we wanted to take time to let you know that it’s okay if you aren’t on track with your resolutions but still want to succeed.

Look at your goals you’ve set. Is there a way to make some slight adjustments to achieve that first step? “We constantly set goals for ourselves that we feel we easily should be able to achieve, but our skills vary day to day which influences our behavior. Looking at this with goal setting can really make a positive impact,” says Angela Haley, LCPC, CCS, clinical manager of inpatient services at Northern Light Acadia Hospital.

For example, let’s say you drink three cups of coffee a day, and want to get down to one cup a day. Instead of trying to get down to one cup immediately, maybe try only drinking two cups for a day. Then drop it down to one in a couple of weeks. This small change help makes your goal more achievable.

If you also need a cheat day, take it. Have a day of fun and then get back on track the next day.

Everyone has their reasons why they get vaccines. What’s your why?

• I do it for my aging parents who are vulnerable to getting sick.
• I do it for my kids – with them being surrounded by so many other kids, they’re constantly surrounded by germs. It helps protect me and my kids.
• I do it for my co-workers. Some of them have health challenges and we are all together a lot of the time, so when we all get vaccines, we help protect one another.
• I do it because I feel it’s the right thing for me to do.

Whatever your reasons, there’s still time to get in and get your flu and Covid vaccines. Follow up with your primary care practitioner, or visit https://ow.ly/7RoC50XY9TT to schedule an appointment with Northern Light Pharmacy.

A year ago Sebasticook Valley Hospital announced that it had received two chest compression devices, made possible by a grant through the Maine Emergency Medical Services Stabilization Program. According to Michael St. Laurent, EMT-P, manager of EMS operations, “Manual chest compressions require swapping out the person doing compressions every two minutes. This can be challenging, and we are often reliant on local emergency services teams to assist. These devices will relieve the need for additional manpower and allow EMS personnel to attend to other urgent matters such as airway management, IV access, and medication administration."

We're happy to report that one year later, the devices continue to help our EMS team provide timely, quality care. The devices are one of many important tools that our EMTs rely on in the moments that matter most.

New Year, Strong Beginnings 🤍

The start of a new year is a reminder that every family deserves support. Breastfeeding provides important health benefits for babies and parents—and no one should have to figure it out alone. Community and healthcare support can make all the difference.
