Morris Habitat for Humanity Invites You to Make Volunteering Your New Year’s Resolution

When most people think of Morris Habitat for Humanity, they envision someone swinging a hammer at a construction site. While it’s true that Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to building decent, affordable housing with low-income families, and needs volunteers to help in the construction process, there are many nonconstruction activities in which mature volunteers excel. Morris Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, ages, races and religions to volunteer for these. Those interested can begin by attending a   monthly hour-long Volunteer Orientation. Opportunities exist in the organization’s retail outlet, the ReStore, and in serving on one of the many committees that ensure Morris Habitat reaches its goal of helping 10 to 15 local families per year by providing affordable home ownership.

For more information, call 973-891-1934 or visit MorrisHabitat.org. To learn about the ReStore, call 973-366-3358 or visit MorrisRestore.org.              

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
