Do you ever find yourself looking at the clock at 5:00 and realizing you have nothing planned for dinner, much less started? With the fast pace of our society, more and more families find it difficult to eat a healthy meal together in the evening. Try these tips to take some of the stress off and still eat healthy meals that are convenient, too!
- Dust off the crockpot! The crockpot is a great way to use your time wisely….it cooks while you work. Assemble everything in the crockpot the night before, store in the refrigerator, and just plug in before work!
- Plan a week’s worth of menus at one time. This will help take the guess-work out of what’s for dinner. Use the menus to make your grocery list and save them to recycle in weeks to come.

Walking, however, is never a problem. Especially when it’s for a great cause – my health and the health of our community.
Winter is always a busy time for health care providers, and this year is no exception. RMH, in addition to other hospitals in the region, has experienced very high patient volume over the past two months, to the point of not having available inpatient beds a few times. In situations like this, we try to find an available bed for the patient another hospital close by, and transfer the patient there as quickly as possible.
Our first priority is always to do what is best for our patients and to keep them safe. In that regard, competition with other organizations is no barrier. When we do need to divert—or transfer—a patient, we take them to the closest hospital that has an available bed and can best treat their condition.
