In moments like these, we do not partner with fear, but choose to lean into faith and hope, as well as practicing wisdom and safety. We are actively encouraging health practices and precautions for everyone. We believe that wisdom, modern medicine, and faith are meant to work together, and express the value for each in the pursuit of on-going health and healing. We continue to remain in close communication with local, national and international authorities to provide the most up-to-date information.
Health TipsBe Happy, Be Healthy! Tips for staying healthy:
Wash hands often with hot water & soap for at least 20 seconds, use clean towels/paper towels each time. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue/elbow.
Stay home if sick, have a fever, or a cough.
Keep your body warm and avoid cold environments and cold drinks (except water).
Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. The normal intake of water is half of your body weight in ounces.
Practice healthy social distancing (i.e. avoid unnecessary large crowds/gatherings, hospital visits, nursing homes, etc.)
Get plenty of sleep (a minimum of 8 hours) to stay in tip-top germ-fighting shape.
Eat fruits and veggies full of vitamins to support your immune system. Vitamin C is best!
Reduce all stress: Our bodies are more likely to get sick when we are in elevated stress.
If you have a dry cough, fever, and shortness of breath, contact your health care provider immediately.
