Pastoral Resources

I'm convinced that we can shape a different future for this country as it relates to mental health and as it relates to suicide.

The same things that lead to disparities in health in this country on a day-to-day basis led to disparities in the impact of Hurricane Katrina.

Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.

Looking after my health today gives me a better hope for tomorrow.

We need a vibrant Medicaid program and strategies to expand affordable access to health care for all, especially for the specialty care services that community health centers do not provide.

In Illinois, community, migrant, homeless and public housing health centers operate 268 primary care sites and serve close to 1 million patients every year.

Each and every day health centers provide high-quality primary and preventive care to our constituents.

Community health centers do a great deal with limited resources. They provide critical medical care services to many who would otherwise have no other place to go or would end up in an emergency room.

As grateful as we are for all the work the community health centers do, it is also important that we recognize that they cannot solve the health care crisis facing our Nation by themselves.

Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceuticals are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs.

Using lots of fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, helps to keep the menu buoyant - I don't know if that's the right word, but it keeps a balance of freshness and health.

I had all kinds of food issues, including health concerns and weight concerns.

The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness.

We can never, ever say it enough: every woman - especially every young woman-has to take charge of her health... and do what's right for her!

Both referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health care reform law, as 'Obamacare.' That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States, it is meant as a disparaging reference to the President of the United States.

And so to those who suggest that we are somehow 'harming' young women by encouraging them to take charge of their health we say this: We are not harming young women by educating them. We are arming them with information that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

My health may be better preserved if I exert myself less, but in the end doesn't each person give his life for his calling?

I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions, not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.

Voters did say 'repeal health care,' they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.'

The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.
