As we approach the holiday season, CHCollective encourages you and your team to stay healthy while continuing to provide exceptional care to your communities. Here are some tips to help health center employees maintain their well-being during this busy time:
*
Prioritize Self-Care: Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Take time for yourself, even if it’s just 10 minutes a day for meditation or deep breathing exercises.
*
Stay Active: Incorporate movement into your day, whether it’s a quick walk during lunch or stretching between patients. The CDC offers great resources for workplace physical activity.
*
Boost Your Immune System: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Consider taking vitamin supplements after consulting with your healthcare provider.
*
Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. The National Sleep Foundation has excellent tips for improving sleep quality.
*
Practice Stress Management: Use stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness or journaling. The National Institute of Mental Health offers valuable stress management resources.
*
Stay Hydrated: Keep a reusable water bottle at your workstation and aim to refill it several times throughout the day.
*
Maintain Work-Life Balance: Set boundaries and make time for activities you enjoy outside of work.
Get Your Flu Shot: Protect yourself and your patients by getting vaccinated. The CDC provides up-to-date information on flu vaccines.

I am LOVING the Mineral platform. It has been a lifesaver for someone like me leading a small not-for-profit without a dedicated HR person.
We’ve been a member of First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program since 2011 and highly recommend joining. The program is terrific and allows us to earn interest on our own funds while still meeting the state’s requirements on unemployment payments. In addition, the staff are great and always helpful sorting out any questions we may have. Thank you all!
CCSCT was approached by First NonProfit to discuss its Unemployment Savings Program and ways the program could significantly reduce the amount of unemployment taxes we were paying. At the time, our agency was paying approximately $80,000 per year. First NonProfit conducted an analysis to determine if making the switch would be in our best interest, and it clearly was based on our circumstances. The first year on the program, CCSCT saw a 70% reduction in its unemployment costs and each year, continues to experience further reductions as a result of having minimal claims. Some additional benefits of the program including having a fixed annual cost, an interest-baring reserve account, professional unemployment claims management and representation at all unemployment hearings. This has been one of the best decisions we have made.
We first started using First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program when we were a small startup nonprofit. We didn’t have an HR department and needed expertise in the event that an unemployment claim was made. We knew we were eligible to be a reimbursing employer, but weren’t sure how to navigate that process. They made it easy to set things up, plan for, and then manage claims when they came at a very reasonable cost. The amount of time and stress they’ve saved us dealing with all this has been worth way more than the cost. We’ve now grown to a large nonprofit and do have an HR department but have no plans to stop using their services. I highly recommend them to every nonprofit I come into contact with!
Throughout our membership in the Unemployment Savings Program, First Nonprofit understood our demands, community dynamics, and the importance of seamless services; that allowed us to serve our constituents better.
Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
It has been our sincere pleasure to maintain a strong, vibrant business partnership with First Nonprofit. We greatly admire their strong industry knowledge, technical expertise, constant professionalism, knowledgeable and dedicated staff. They are always extremely responsive, personable and provide us with the necessary guidance and recommendations on a numerous variety of employment scenarios.
NYCON members who use First Nonprofit’s programs enjoy enduring savings and improved efficiency. Our association knows that success, because from the beginning, we achieved the same great benefits. Great savings, seamless technology, and responsive service. NYCON highly recommends First Nonprofit’s remarkable unemployment solutions.
