Small actions create ripples that have a lasting impact. This story from Beth Israel Lahey Health beautifully illustrates how empathy and compassion, paired with expertise, can transform a patient's experience. While expert care is essential, it's the human touch that often makes the greatest difference. Every moment of kindness, creativity, and support adds up, helping patients not only heal but feel seen and understood. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, sharing a passion like painting, or just being there, these small moments shape the bigger picture. The ripple effect of your compassion can change someone's life. Keep showing up like this—it matters more than you know. #AtomicHabits #EmpathyInAction #HealthcareHeroes #RadiationOncology #Xray #RadiologicTechnologist #CancerCare #CompassionateCare #RadiationTherapist #PatientExperience #Radiologix #HealingThroughCare #MindsetMatters #SmallStepsBigImpact #JessicaMacDonald

Here's a controversial truth: Sometimes keeping your normal routine is the best medicine. When everyone expected me to stop everything, I discovered something powerful: Purpose is a healing force. What staying engaged did for me: • Kept my mind focused on living, not just surviving • Maintained my sense of normalcy • Gave me goals beyond treatment • Preserved my identity beyond 'patient' But here's the key: I modified without stopping. I adjusted without surrendering. I adapted without giving up. This isn't about pushing yourself too hard. It's about maintaining your connection to life while healing. Remember: You're healing to live, not living to heal. 👉 If you want a free guide that gives you the first steps to take on your breast cancer journey, just let me know and I'll send it to you 🔥

Strong businesses are built on strong foundations—and that includes health. 💼 This October, we encourage you and your team to prioritize self-care with a simple breast self-exam. We stand with the fight against breast cancer. 💖 Here’s how you can perform yours: In the Mirror: Stand with your arms at your sides, then raise them overhead. Look for changes in size, shape, or color, and check for any swelling or dimpling. While Lying Down: Use your opposite hand to feel your breast with circular motions, moving from the outer edge to the center. Make sure to check both sides carefully. In the Shower: With soapy hands, feel your entire breast, checking for any lumps or thickened areas under the skin. Your health is worth it—make this part of your routine. 💗 Early detection saves lives! #BreastCancerAwareness #ThinkPink #EarlyDetection #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionMatters #PinkMonth
