This year has exposed all of us to an array of emotions ― grief, fear, anxiety, loss and loneliness. These stressful feelings are expected in a crisis. They make us human. But you don’t have to deal with them on your own. If you feel overwhelmed or discouraged, you should know that you have people, resources and tools to help through the HCA Healthcare Healthy Living Program. Note: Program eligibility may vary by location.
