How a Texas road trip helped me process grief

Crossing Texas by car, the landscape slowly shifts from the lush chaos of East Texas to the wide-open calm of the west. On a recent drive to El Paso for a family funeral, I realized those changing horizons mirrored my own journey through grief. Taking the long way gave me space to breathe, reflect, and find unexpected moments of comfort—like a stunning hotel in a dusty town. Sometimes, it’s the slow miles and new scenery that help us process loss, reminding us that the world is vast and healing doesn’t have to be rushed. Have you ever found clarity or comfort on the road? #Health #BodyHealth #RoadTripHealing

Albuquerque’s holiday event brings health and hope

Holiday celebrations at the National Hispanic Cultural Center aren’t just about Santa and menorahs—they’re also about keeping our community healthy. This year, families enjoyed festive fun and free health services like flu shots and glucose testing, thanks to a partnership with the Mexican Consulate and local health organizations. Many folks shared that fear of immigration raids and vaccine hesitancy keep them from seeking care, but these events are helping break down barriers. It’s powerful to see culture, health, and support come together. How do you feel about combining community celebrations with health outreach? #Health #BodyHealth #Albuquerque

Bozeman’s new recovery center steps up

With Bozeman’s only outpatient addiction clinic recently closing, a new resource center is stepping in to fill the gap for those in recovery. Greater Impact’s Recovery Point is now open, offering a welcoming space and real support from people who’ve been there themselves. Whether someone needs treatment, mental health help, or just a place to talk, the center’s doors are open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. This comes at a time when Montana’s rates of binge drinking and overdose deaths are rising. How do you think this new center could change things for our community? #Health #BodyHealth #Bozeman

Big changes coming to Wheat Ridge’s hospital site

A massive transformation is on the horizon for Wheat Ridge: the old Lutheran Hospital campus just sold for $60 million and is set to become a vibrant new neighborhood. Picture this—over 1,200 homes, from single-family houses to apartments, plus shops, offices, and plenty of green space with trails. What’s really cool is they’re keeping the historic Blue House and Chapel, which could turn into restaurants, event venues, or even a library. This could totally reshape daily life in the area. How do you feel about this kind of development in our community? #Health #BodyHealth #WheatRidge

Northern California shoppers are being urged to check their eggs after dozens fell ill and 13 were hospitalized due to salmonella linked to Vega Farms.

Europe’s Food Outbreaks Are Wild Right Now

Did you see these numbers? Foodborne outbreaks in Europe just hit 6,558 this year—up from last year! France and the Netherlands are topping the charts, and Salmonella is the main culprit (especially in eggs). Even though deaths are down, hospitalizations and cases are way up. Spain had a massive norovirus outbreak, too. Cross-contamination and undercooked food are the biggest issues. Anyone else rethinking their next European food tour? #Health #BodyHealth #foodsafety
