TIDBITS
COLORS BY NATURE
What turns your fingers orange when
you peel carrots? Fat-soluble pig-
ments called carotenoids, which give
cantaloupe and butternut squash
their delightful tints too. The color
also tells you that it’s a source of
vitamin A.
AIR IT OUT
Store toothbrushes
standing upright in open
air. Covering the bristles
can trap moisture, which
can cause microorgan-
isms to grow.
American Dental Association
OH, BABY!
Be sure to pick up
a baby planner at
OB-GYN offices
throughout the River
Region. The books
are presented by
Jackson Hospital
and the Montgomery
Advertiser.
STRONGER TOGETHER
Jackson Hospital has entered into a three-year partnership
with Studer Group. Studer Group works with healthcare orga-
nizations to create a culture of excellence through coaching
and cultural transformation.
THE FUTURE OF
HEALTHCARE
The Jackson Hospital Foundation
awarded ten $1,000 scholarships to
graduating seniors who are pursuing
a degree in a healthcare-related field.
