Physical wellbeing includes not only staying active, but also nutrition, sleep and healthy choices.
PHYSICAL WELLBEING
Being physically healthy has many benefits linked to heart health, diabetes, and other preventive diseases.
But did you know there is more to physical wellbeing than just physical activity?
BEING ACTIVE CAN• Lower your blood pressure
• Aid in managing stress and anxiety
• Allow more restful sleep
• Encourage more time outside and in your community
• Promote a positive outlook and self-image
It’s no surprise that eating a balanced diet can help you maintain a good weight and prevent chronic disease, but providing your body with the nutrients it needs can also benefit your brain!

• Making sound decisions • Solving problems • Controlling your emotions• Depression/suicide/risk-taking behavior

WHAT IS SLEEPDEPRIVATION?
Did you know that not getting enough sleep can cause major issues in both your physical and mental health? If you are sleep deficient you may have trouble with:
• Higher insulin level• Obesity due to imbalance of
hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin)

HOW DO IMANAGESTRESS?
Identify Your SourcesWhat are your triggers? Are they related
to family, health, financial decisions, work, relationships or something else?
Learn Your SignalsDo you have a hard time concentrating, feel irritable or angry, get headaches or lack energy?
Find Healthy Ways to ManageConsider stress-reducing activities such as exercise or talking things out with family/friends/therapist.
Take Care of You!Be sure to eat right, get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated and engage in physical activity.
NOT ALL STRESS IS THE SAME
Short term stress resulting from demands and pressures of the recent past and those anticipated in the near future. It is the most common and most manageable. Symptoms include emotional distress, tension headaches, stomach/gut/bowel problems and rapid heartbeat.
Sufferers have acute stress often, and their lives are in constant disorder. They are always in a hurry, but always late, have a lot of “nervous energy”, and can’t seem to organize the self-inflicted demands and pressures of life.
Stress that takes its toll year after year. This is the stress of poverty, dysfunctional families or being trapped in an unhappy situation. It is the most difficult to treat and can result in a fatal breakdown.

SOCIALWELLBEING
Being connected to others is a basic human need. But did you know it’s as important as getting exercise AND eating your veggies?
A study showed that lack of social connection is a greater detriment to health than obesity, smoking and high blood pressure!
BENEFITSOF SOCIAL CONNECTION
• 50% increased chance of longevity
• Stronger gene expression for immunity (research by Steve Cole,UCLA)
• Lower rates of anxiety and depression
• Higher self-esteem and empathy
• Better emotion regulation skills
RISKS OF A LOW SOCIAL CONNECTION
• Slower recovery from diseases
• Higher Inflammation at the cellular level
• Volunteering and compassion create a sense of purpose and connection.
• Keeping stress well managed allows for more opportunity to be outward-focused, which is linked to a higher sense of connection.
• Asking for help and reaching out to others keeps you connected when they may not recognize your needs.

SOCIALWELLBEING
Being connected to others is a basic human need. But did you know it’s as important as getting exercise AND eating your veggies?
A study showed that lack of social connection is a greater detriment to health than obesity, smoking and high blood pressure!
BENEFITSOF SOCIAL CONNECTION
• 50% increased chance of longevity
• Stronger gene expression for immunity (research by Steve Cole,UCLA)
• Lower rates of anxiety and depression
• Higher self-esteem and empathy
• Better emotion regulation skills
RISKS OF A LOW SOCIAL CONNECTION
• Slower recovery from diseases
• Higher Inflammation at the cellular level
• Volunteering and compassion create a sense of purpose and connection.
• Keeping stress well managed allows for more opportunity to be outward-focused, which is linked to a higher sense of connection.
• Asking for help and reaching out to others keeps you connected when they may not recognize your needs.

WELLBEINGWELLNESS THE SAME AS ISN'T?
YESNO &
While both have connections to health, wellness is more focused on one’s physical health and disease prevention.
WELLBEING is focused on ALL the aspects of one’s overall health:
PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL & FINANCIAL.
WELLBEING
PHYSICAL
SOCIALEMOTIONAL
FINANCIALAccording to the CDC, wellbeing integrates both physical and mental health for a more “whole life” approach to health.
"Health is NOT merely the absence of disease."
- World Health Organization
Physical wellbeing includes not only staying active, but also nutrition, sleep and healthy choices.
PHYSICAL WELLBEING
Being physically healthy has many benefits linked to heart health, diabetes, and other preventive diseases.
But did you know there is more to physical wellbeing than just physical activity?
BEING ACTIVE CAN• Lower your blood pressure
• Aid in managing stress and anxiety
• Allow more restful sleep
• Encourage more time outside and in your community
• Promote a positive outlook and self-image
It’s no surprise that eating a balanced diet can help you maintain a good weight and prevent chronic disease, but providing your body with the nutrients it needs can also benefit your brain!
FOOD FUELS YOUR BRAIN...
• Making sound decisions • Solving problems • Controlling your emotions• Depression/suicide/risk-taking behavior
It is when an individual doesn’t get enough sleep, sleeps at the wrong time of day or doesn’t sleep well.
WHAT IS SLEEPDEPRIVATION?
Did you know that not getting enough sleep can cause major issues in both your physical and mental health? If you are sleep deficient you may have trouble with:
• Higher insulin level• Obesity due to imbalance of
hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin)

• Your brain functions at its best when it is getting the proper fuel.
• Cutting out processed foods has a profound effect on your overall wellbeing.
• Foods high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourish your brain, improve your mood, give you energy, and help reduce inflammation throughout your body.
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

HOW DO IMANAGESTRESS?
Identify Your SourcesWhat are your triggers? Are they related
to family, health, financial decisions, work, relationships or something else?
Learn Your SignalsDo you have a hard time concentrating, feel irritable or angry, get headaches or lack energy?
Find Healthy Ways to ManageConsider stress-reducing activities such as exercise or talking things out with family/friends/therapist.
Take Care of You!Be sure to eat right, get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated and engage in physical activity.
NOT ALL STRESS IS THE SAME
Short term stress resulting from demands and pressures of the recent past and those anticipated in the near future. It is the most common and most manageable. Symptoms include emotional distress, tension headaches, stomach/gut/bowel problems and rapid heartbeat.
Sufferers have acute stress often, and their lives are in constant disorder. They are always in a hurry, but always late, have a lot of “nervous energy”, and can’t seem to organize the self-inflicted demands and pressures of life.
Stress that takes its toll year after year. This is the stress of poverty, dysfunctional families or being trapped in an unhappy situation. It is the most difficult to treat and can result in a fatal breakdown.

based on criteria.
The information provided in this report allows you to compare and locate the right care for you and your family, much like you would use a consumer report to compare cars, computers or televisions.
Hospitals in this Guide are tiered according to their Leapfrog Never Events score.
Never Events - Four bars indicates the hospital has agreed to Leapfrog’s Never Events policy. Never Events are outcomes that should not occur while you are in the hospital. Examples are surgery on the wrong body part or discharging an infant to the wrong family.
Steps to Avoid Harm - Patients should choose a hospital with a high score in this category. High scores indicate the hospital has put into place procedures to reduce 17 common, preventable medical mistakes.
Prevent Medication Errors - Patients should choose a hospital that uses computer prescriber order entry (CPOE) to order medications, tests and procedures to avoid errors.
Appropriate ICU Staffing - Patients should choose a hospital with an intensive care unit (ICU) staffed by doctors and other caregivers that have received specialized training in critical care.
Appropriate Use of Antibiotics in Hospitals: Using Antibiotics responsibly helps prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. High scores indicate the hospital is committed to the principles set down by the CDC.
Central Line Infections - Some patients receive a tube inserted to deliver medications and other treatments. This puts them at higher risk for blood infections, known as Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI). A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
Urinary Catheter Infections - When not inserted and removed correctly, catheters can cause serious infections. A rate lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
MRSA Infections - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that cannot by killed by many antibiotics. MRSA can be found in bed linens or medical equipment and can be spread if providers do not properly wash their hands between patients. MRSA can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
C.Diff Infections - Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever. Most C. diff cases occur in patients taking antibiotics, and fully killing the bacteria in an infected patient can be very difficult. C. diff can spread on contaminated equipment or by providers who fail to properly wash their hands between patients. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
The grades used in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety ScoreSM program are derived from expert analysis of publicly available data using national evidence-based measures of patient safety.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score program grades hospitals on their overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors. For more information visitwww.hospitalsafetygrade.org.

based on criteria.
The information provided in this report allows you to compare and locate the right care for you and your family, much like you would use a consumer report to compare cars, computers or televisions.
Hospitals in this Guide are tiered according to their Leapfrog Never Events score.
Never Events - Four bars indicates the hospital has agreed to Leapfrog’s Never Events policy. Never Events are outcomes that should not occur while you are in the hospital. Examples are surgery on the wrong body part or discharging an infant to the wrong family.
Steps to Avoid Harm - Patients should choose a hospital with a high score in this category. High scores indicate the hospital has put into place procedures to reduce 17 common, preventable medical mistakes.
Prevent Medication Errors - Patients should choose a hospital that uses computer prescriber order entry (CPOE) to order medications, tests and procedures to avoid errors.
Appropriate ICU Staffing - Patients should choose a hospital with an intensive care unit (ICU) staffed by doctors and other caregivers that have received specialized training in critical care.
Appropriate Use of Antibiotics in Hospitals: Using Antibiotics responsibly helps prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. High scores indicate the hospital is committed to the principles set down by the CDC.
Central Line Infections - Some patients receive a tube inserted to deliver medications and other treatments. This puts them at higher risk for blood infections, known as Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI). A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
Urinary Catheter Infections - When not inserted and removed correctly, catheters can cause serious infections. A rate lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
MRSA Infections - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that cannot by killed by many antibiotics. MRSA can be found in bed linens or medical equipment and can be spread if providers do not properly wash their hands between patients. MRSA can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
C.Diff Infections - Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever. Most C. diff cases occur in patients taking antibiotics, and fully killing the bacteria in an infected patient can be very difficult. C. diff can spread on contaminated equipment or by providers who fail to properly wash their hands between patients. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
The grades used in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety ScoreSM program are derived from expert analysis of publicly available data using national evidence-based measures of patient safety.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score program grades hospitals on their overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors. For more information visitwww.hospitalsafetygrade.org.

based on criteria.
The information provided in this report allows you to compare and locate the right care for you and your family, much like you would use a consumer report to compare cars, computers or televisions.
Hospitals in this Guide are tiered according to their Leapfrog Never Events score.
Never Events - Four bars indicates the hospital has agreed to Leapfrog’s Never Events policy. Never Events are outcomes that should not occur while you are in the hospital. Examples are surgery on the wrong body part or discharging an infant to the wrong family.
Steps to Avoid Harm - Patients should choose a hospital with a high score in this category. High scores indicate the hospital has put into place procedures to reduce 17 common, preventable medical mistakes.
Prevent Medication Errors - Patients should choose a hospital that uses computer prescriber order entry (CPOE) to order medications, tests and procedures to avoid errors.
Appropriate ICU Staffing - Patients should choose a hospital with an intensive care unit (ICU) staffed by doctors and other caregivers that have received specialized training in critical care.
Appropriate Use of Antibiotics in Hospitals: Using Antibiotics responsibly helps prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. High scores indicate the hospital is committed to the principles set down by the CDC.
Central Line Infections - Some patients receive a tube inserted to deliver medications and other treatments. This puts them at higher risk for blood infections, known as Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI). A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
Urinary Catheter Infections - When not inserted and removed correctly, catheters can cause serious infections. A rate lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
MRSA Infections - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that cannot by killed by many antibiotics. MRSA can be found in bed linens or medical equipment and can be spread if providers do not properly wash their hands between patients. MRSA can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
C.Diff Infections - Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever. Most C. diff cases occur in patients taking antibiotics, and fully killing the bacteria in an infected patient can be very difficult. C. diff can spread on contaminated equipment or by providers who fail to properly wash their hands between patients. A number lower than 1 means fewer infections than expected.
The grades used in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety ScoreSM program are derived from expert analysis of publicly available data using national evidence-based measures of patient safety.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score program grades hospitals on their overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors. For more information visitwww.hospitalsafetygrade.org.
