为了您的健康：这个冬天该做些什么

以下这些提示可以帮助您保持正确方向：

• Check into your insurance benefits. Now is a good time to make sure you understand what your insurance offers. Your plan might have renewing deductibles and copays, as well as new additions that might offer just what you need. If you’re a CareOregon member and have questions about your benefits, send us a secure message through our Member Portal or call us at 503-416-4100, toll-free 800-224-4840 or TTY 711.
• Do your yearly checkups. Schedule an appointment as soon as you can to see your primary care physician (PCP) or family doctor for you and your family. Don’t forget to schedule appointments with the dentist, eye doctor and other specialties you need to stay healthy. There may be wait times, so it is best to schedule ahead.
• Get your annual vaccinations. We all face increased exposure to the flu in the winter. And it’s important to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine, too. If you have certain health conditions, the flu, COVID-19 and other viruses can lead to serious complications.

随着寒冷和暴风雨天气的增加以及出门机会的减少，冬天对有些人来说可能是一个孤立无援的时期，尤其是那些需要应对额外健康或安全挑战的人。

• Surround yourself with community. Talking and engaging with others in your community—whether at home, work, gym, church—can help you feel less isolated. If you are working on your recovery from drugs or alcohol—or have a loved one who is—community can help with your healing.
• Prepare for winter challenges. Stay warm, hydrated and mindful during the colder months. Dress in layers, drink plenty of water and watch for slippery surfaces on the road and sidewalks or wherever you may be. Know your local resource options. Build an emergency kit; it’s a great use of downtime.
• Stay active. The rain and snow shouldn’t keep you from moving your body. Take a walk or try something new like chair yoga or dancing in your living room. Even a simple daily stretch can help prevent injuries and keep you feeling your best. Be active but don’t overdo it— stick to what feels good or is recommended by your doctor or other health professional.

享受这个季节！如果冬天不是您一年之中最喜欢的时间，那就坚持下去——春天会在不知不觉中到来。
