💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

Mental health is an important part of our overall health, and taking care of ourselves and one another matters.

Today is a reminder to check in with yourself and the people around you. Take a moment to rest and recharge. Reach out to someone you trust. Start a conversation. And when you need support, know that asking for help is a sign of strength.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. In an immediate emergency, call 911.

Across the Priority Ambulance family of companies, we encourage everyone to look out for one another, today and every day. 💚

Today is World Heart Day! ❤️

Across Priority Ambulance and our family of companies, our EMS professionals see firsthand how important heart health is and how quickly recognizing the signs of a cardiac emergency can make a difference.

Today is a great reminder to take care of your heart. Stay active, make heart-healthy choices, keep up with regular checkups, and know the warning signs of a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

It’s also a reminder to learn CPR. You never know when you may be the person who can step in and help save a life before first responders arrive.

Here’s to healthier hearts, stronger communities, and taking care of ourselves and one another. ❤️🚑
