Acenda Integrated Health

Flashback Friday: Celebrating 30 Years of Spirit of The Holidays As part of our 30th anniversary, we're reflecting on some of the partnerships that have helped Acenda make a difference. In 2024, our longtime partner, Heritage's Dairy Stores, participated once again in the Spirit of the Holidays Toy Drive, bringing joy to countless children and families. Heritage's contributes every year through toy drop-offs and customer support, demonstrating their enduring commitment to our community. We're proud to celebrate these moments and continue building partnerships that make a real difference. Learn how you or your business can contribute today: acendhealth.org/holidays

Movember is a reminder that many men experience significant work-related stress but hesitate to speak up. Heavy workloads, pressure to perform, and the expectation to "push through" can make it difficult to ask for support. Healthy workplaces acknowledge this and encourage open conversations about stress and mental well-being. When men feel supported, teams function better and individuals stay healthier. If work stress is impacting you or someone on your team, our counseling and therapy services can help. Visit https://lnkd.in/ec83SwHg or call 844-422-3632.

Today is Stress Awareness Day, a reminder that stress affects everyone, often in ways we can't see. In the workplace, stress might look like fatigue, difficulty focusing, or simply feeling stretched too thin. Recognizing these signs is the first step in managing them. Encourage your team and yourself to take moments throughout the day to breathe, move, and reset. 🌿 For more ideas on self-care and mental wellbeing, visit our blog: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eVCQqEvW

The Spirit of the Holidays is back and we’re proud to celebrate it with our longtime community partner, Heritage's Dairy Stores. Each year, Acenda’s annual toy drive brings comfort and joy to children and families in need. This holiday season, Heritage’s customers can round up their change at checkout, and 100% of proceeds will be used to purchase toys for local families. We’re inviting businesses across the region to join in the spirit of giving by collaborating with us. Companies can host their own toy collection bins, organize team donation drives, or contribute directly through our holiday registries. Together, we can make an even greater impact for families who need it most. Learn more or sign up your business to participate at acendahealth.org/holidays.
