Trinity Health PACE

In honor of National Nutrition Month, we asked our colleagues to share nutrition tips. Dietitian Beatrice Agar offers helpful advice for seniors to eat well: “As we age, we often need less calories, but we still need to make sure we meet our nutrient needs. So, it is important for seniors to make nutritious food choices and to make every bite count. Choose nutrient dense foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean meats & dairy) more often, and processed foods and sugar sweetened beverages less often. And of course, if you have concerns that you are not meeting your nutrition needs, consulting your healthcare provider, and registered dietitian would be encouraged.”

This week we recognize Patient Safety Awareness, and our colleagues committed effort to provide patients, the community and each other a safe environment through awareness and action. We appreciate our care teams and all that they do to put safety first.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Our Core Value of Reverence calls us to honor the sacredness and dignity of everyone by providing fair, compassionate care for all, regardless of sex or gender. #IDW ??

For those who celebrate, we wish you a holy and reflective Ash Wednesday, as you begin the first day of Lent.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! ?????? Happy #MardiGras from all of us at PACE! Our Louisiana program, Trinity Health PACE Alexandria, got the celebrations started early with a festive Mardi Gras-themed grand opening! Wishing everyone a day full of joy, color, and community! ??????

We’d like to recognize Ace of PACE winner, Social Worker LaTessa Mathews! LaTessa is part of our Louisiana team, and she was nominated for exceptional commitment to our Core Values and serving those in need. Her nomination read: “After a colleague event, LaTessa created about 20 plates with food that was left over from our Thanksgiving celebration. She handed it out to people around the city of Alexandria who are unhoused and experiencing poverty. Her actions serve as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility and the impact we can make when we work together with purpose and compassion.”

Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate! As this sacred month begins, we reflect on the values of compassion, reflection, and community. May Ramadan be generous to you and your loved ones, bringing peace and blessings. #RamadanMubarak #Ramadan
