Did you know? #4: Muscles
Did you know? The average adult uses around 200 muscles to take a single step forward. Much like the individual muscles working together in our bodies, each person on staff at Pathways plays an integral role on our care team. Pathways fosters a collaborative team of physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, therapists (physical, occupational, and speech), dietitians, spiritual care counselors, and grief counselors to meet the growing needs of our patients and families. We are also deeply appreciative to over 150 trained home health and hospice volunteers for their compassionate support and service. Want to get involved, but don't know where to start? There is something for everyone at Pathways! Visit our Volunteer Opportunities page to learn more https://www.pathwayshealth.org/about-us/volunteers

Impact Spotlight: Culturally Competent Care
Did you see our story about Nurse Honey in our Fall Appeal? That story highlights Pathways’ commitment to providing culturally competent care and empowering our patients to actively participate in their care. Honey shared, “As an RN case manager, I ask our families about their expectations and knowledge of hospice care. I speak Spanish, and oftentimes I can give Hispanic families a sense of trust when communicating the needs of my client to them in Spanish.” Patient-centered care is our priority.

Did you know? #3: Walking for Health
Did you know? Walking for 2.5 hours a week can cut your risk of heart disease by 30%. It can also improve your mental and emotional well-being and reduce your risk of depression. Pathways takes a holistic approach to hospice care, addressing the physical, mental, and emotional needs of our patients and their families. Each hospice patient has an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals led by a registered nurse (RN) available to them, including aides for personal care, social workers for counseling, chaplains for spiritual connection, and trained vigil volunteers for support. Hospice from Pathways can be delivered in a private home, a nursing home, an assisted living facility—and sometimes in the hospital.

Fun Run Fridays: Plogging
Happy Fun Run Friday! What do you get when you combine environmental stewardship with exercise? Plogging! Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter, merging the Swedish verbs plocka upp (pick up) and jogga (jog) gives the new Swedish verb plogga, from which the word plogging derives. Watch REI’s video on Plogging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeOczwdyUpQ This is another way to #GetFitGiveBack just like with March with Pathways! Reach out to friends and family to request donations on your page to support your challenge and our patients at Pathway.

Did You Know? #1: New Shoes
Did you know? A typical pair of athletic shoes will last for approximately 500 miles of walking. Pathways Home Health and Hospice has three locations in the Bay Area: Sunnyvale (Headquarters), South San Francisco, and Alameda. Having three offices allows us to effectively serve 5 Bay Area counties (Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties). Hypothetically, if you were to walk from the Sunnyvale office, to South San Francisco, to Oakland, and back to Sunnyvale, you would be able to make the trip 5 times with a new pair of athletic shoes!
