HAVE YOU TAKEN THE PLEDGE? – The Senior Life Solutions Team at Cedar County Memorial Hospital has been out and about in the community to remind everyone of rising suicide rates as September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month — and to see if  —- “YOU” have taken “The Pledge”??? Thanks to those who have participated.

– I Pledge to be a positive person and positive influence on my family, friends, co-workers and community.

– I Promise to be positively contagious and share more smiles, laughter, encouragement, and joy with those around me.

– I Vow to stay positive in the face of negativity.

– When I want to hate I will choose love.

– When I want to be bitter I will choose to get better.

– I believe being positive no only makes me better, it makes everyone around me better.

– So today and every day I will be positive and strive to make a positive impact on the world.
