RMC Partners with Local Brain Health Campaign

RMC Partners with Local Brain Health Campaign

October 18, 2024 in News

Regional Medical Center (RMC) has proudly joined the West Delaware “Together We Are” brain health campaign. Back in December of 2022, the West Delaware school district kicked off the campaign in an effort to bring connection and awareness around the importance of brain health. 

The vision of this campaign is to create a community where it is ok to not be ok. As a way to keep this campaign on the forefront, students and staff are encouraged to wear their “be kind to your mind” shirts. Each month different activities are held to provide education and skill building on how to care for our brains. 

Just as the students and staff of West Delaware wear their shirts, Regional Medical Center staff now joins them in wearing their very own “be kind to your mind” shirts the first Thursday of each month. 

“Mental health has become a bigger part of our lives. Although it’s now commonly talked about, it continues to wear a negative connotation,” shared Nicole Brehm, Regional Family Health Behavioral Services Therapist. “We are proud to join this community campaign and show our support as your local healthcare system that it truly is ‘ok to not be ok’.” 

On behalf of everyone at Regional Medical Center, we want to thank West Delaware for starting this initiative and urge community members and businesses to join.
