So you think you are ready to talk with your family about horizon planning...

Roberta from WellSpan Health and I play The Hello Game - this is the game we have hinted at a few times. It has 30 questions to help you talk with your family about end of life decisions - and just wait until you watch. The game has been carefully designed to be thought provoking and allows the players to really get to the heart of the issue in a comfortable way. #hubpartner #horizonplanning #StrongerTogether

Junkie, Addict, Habit - why words matter

Junkie, Addict, Habit - why words matter

Sharon, from the WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital Wellness Center and I talk about the impact of words. We should be really thoughtful about how our "everyday language" contains words that can really stigmatize someone who has a substance abuse disorder. Think about drug tests - we use the words "clean" or "dirty." What if those were the same words used for a blood sugar test? #hubpartner #strongertogether

Mental Wellness

Mental Wellness

In our talks with Sharon from WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital about addiction we need to look at mental wellness. Do you have hope? Can you talk yourself through a crisis? Do you fall back on old habits, like comfort food, instead of creating new habits like taking a walk? Give this a listen and see how we can work on ourselves just a little bit. #hubpartner #strongertogether

Vaping and Your Body

Join me in a very timely discussion about vaping with Dr. Scott Silverstein from WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital. We talk today about what vaping does to your lungs, how people that vape are much more susceptible to COVID 19, how we don't know enough about what's in vaping to see the connections to cancer and how the most addictive substance in the world, nicotine, affects your brain and body. #hubpartner
