health
February is heart month, now drawing to its close. Have a heart. Don’t break a heart. Extend your heart to others, to your work, to your professional legacy. Do you love what you do? Is your heart in it? Can you find away to attach your passion to your work? If so, you’re a lucky person, cause when you love what you’re doing, it scarcely feels like work anymore.
Sometimes it’s the work you love. Often it’s the people you work with. Get involved in a volunteer project. March for a charity. Get positive. Stay positive. Have a heart.
And GIVE your heart. Are you an organ donor? If not, click here and learn more: http://www.donatelifenc.org/.
A WRAL report on a recent study out of the University of Wisconsin has Wake County as the healthiest county in the state.
Orange County placed a respectable second overall with first place finishes in the categories of health behaviors, clinical care, and social and economic factors and second place finishes in morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, our overall score was depressed by an eighth-place finish in physical environment. I guess we know where we have our work cut out for us.
The Orange County scores are at: http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/app/north-carolina/2013/orange/county/outcomes/overall/snapshot/by-rank
