Looking at Healthcare From Every Angle: A Lesson in Perspective During Nurses Week

Every healthcare professional knows that sometimes the most profound insights come from unexpected places. For our team at Arbor Health, that lesson came in the form of a backwards banner at a recent nursing event – and it couldn't have been more perfectly timed.

The Unexpected Teachers during Nurses Week

Imagine setting up your carefully prepared materials at a professional wellness fair, only to realize your banners are displaying backwards. That's exactly what happened to our team during URMC's National Nurses Week Professional Wellness Fair.

But rather than seeing it as a mishap, we embraced it as the perfect metaphor for our work: sometimes the most meaningful solutions come when we're willing to look at health challenges from different angles. 

The Heart of Healthcare: Nurses

This National Nurses Week, we're celebrating the compassionate professionals who form the backbone of our healthcare system. Their dedication inspires our work every day at Arbor Health.

Nurses embody what healthcare should be about:

• Compassionate care for the whole person
• Attention to details that others might miss
• The ability to pivot and adapt when standard approaches aren't working
• A commitment to patient wellbeing above all else

Medical Detectives with the Biggest Toolbox for Support for Nurses

At Arbor Health, we pride ourselves on being medical detectives. Like our nursing colleagues, we understand that:

Viewing health from different perspectives often leads to the most effective solutions.

This philosophy guides our approach to patient care every day. We're constantly:

• Examining data from multiple angles
• Listening to patient experiences with fresh ears
• Looking beyond the obvious for root causes
• Considering solutions that conventional medicine might overlook

A Tribute to Our Nursing Community

To every nurse in our community – whether you're our patient, colleague, or friend – we want to express our deepest gratitude for your service. Your compassion, expertise, and resilience make a profound difference in countless lives.

We were honored to participate in University of Rochester Medical Center's National Nurses Week Professional Wellness Fair and share how Functional Medicine approaches can support the wellbeing of those who give so much to others.

Supporting Nurses: Those Who Support Others

Healthcare professionals face unique health challenges, often putting others' needs before their own. At Arbor Health, we understand these challenges and are committed to supporting the wellness journeys of those who care for others.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Functional Medicine that addresses root causes, not just symptoms for true healing
• Functional Psychiatry that considers the whole person for transformative mental wellbeing
• Neurofeedback services that offer innovative solutions for optimal brain health
• A commitment to truly listening to your experience
