Did you know...People with more positive attitudes about aging live longer, healthier lives than those with negative perceptions of the aging process, research suggests. If the thought of getting older gets you down, here are 4 ways to shift your mindset.

Thank you @CFHNYC for a powerful policy discussion this morning. @AHANewYorkCity is passionate about health access for all NYers, especially where help is needed the most. Glad to hear directly from a shelter resident about the barriers to health & wellness.

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

Stroke is largely treatable, if you know the warning signs and call 911 right away. This #StrokeMonth, @jenniegarth, @Susan_Lucci, @yg_trece & @Bwagz want you to honor someone you love by learning F.A.S.T.: Face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, it’s time to call 911.
Deeply grateful for the selfless support from so many who consistently answer our calls, share our desire to save lives, and show up however necessary. We cannot do half of what we achieve without you. Thank you for all you do! #volunteerswithheart #VolunteerAppreciationWeek
Every day – but especially during #NationalVolunteerWeek - the American Heart Association recognizes the extraordinary volunteers who dedicate their time, talent and resources to our lifesaving mission. #VolunteersWithHeart

Today, I joined with civil rights leaders and health advocates to fight for legislation banning menthol cigarettes.
Menthol cigarettes has disproportionately affected Black and brown communities for far too long. 86% of Black smokers and 72% of Hispanic smokers smoke menthol;
Only a @NJTRANSIT_NJCL would manage to mess up so badly. Train doors never open for passengers in the last three cars at Woodbridge (supposed to have all doors open). They dump us at Perth Amboy. Next train back south doesn’t come for 30 minutes. @NJTRANSIT you need to do better
