Lifestyle choices such as avoiding tobacco, staying active, eating right, achieving and maintaining your target weight, avoiding risky behavior, following your physician’s advice, developing strong relationships with others and managing stress and chronic disease are all excellent ways to stay healthy as long as possible.

While practicing healthy habits is ultimately up to the patient, St. John’s believes that health care providers have the ability to encourage healthy habits, including the prevention and management of chronic disease, by laying a solid foundation of leading-edge, compassionate, high-quality care in state-of-the-art facilities by the most qualified and talented medical professionals in the region.
