Start simple: add berries to your morning oatmeal; snack on hummus with veggies instead of chips; or try a colorful salad packed with leafy greens, avocado and walnuts. Small swaps in your meals can lead to big benefits for your cardiovascular health. http://mh.social/IHo450YfmvL

The sun’s back out, but what a doozy of a weather weekend! Huge shout-out to the grounds crews at our hospitals and care locations for staying prepared and keeping our campuses safe during the snow & frigid cold. Thanks also to the city crews in our communities who worked tirelessly to keep our surrounding streets clear.
