☀️⏰ Losing an hour this weekend? You may feel it.

😵 “Springing forward” can throw off your body’s natural rhythm.

Try this:
🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night leading up to the change
📱 Limit screens before bed
🌞 Get morning sunlight
😌 Keep your routine consistent

Small changes help your body adjust faster.

👶 And don’t forget the kids! Start moving their bedtime earlier now to avoid extra cranky mornings.

A bedtime routine can help children get the sleep they need, but at least twice a year, that schedule gets disrupted.

🫀 When it comes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tempo matters.

The American Red Cross recommends a compression rate of 100 - 120 beats per minute, about the rhythm of songs like “Stayin’ Alive.”

Knowing the right beat could make a difference in an emergency.

Happy Presidents’ Day from OSF HealthCare! 🇺🇸

A holiday that started as George Washington’s birthday… then casually expanded to include all U.S. presidents… and honestly, we’re here for the glow‑up.

We love all the ways we honor our Presidents — so much so that if we had our way, in 2026, we’d be adding one more to Mount Rushmore. Don’t worry, we’re not showing up with chisels — just big Presidents' Day energy for our very own hospital president, Derrick Frazier at OSF Saint James Medical Center.

Here’s to leadership, history, and for many, a well‑deserved long weekend.

Your heart and emotions are connected in more ways than you might think.

Physical or emotional trauma can cause broken-heart syndrome, especially in post-menopausal women. It can be as deadly as a heart attack.
