Kristin Sako

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 60 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Allina Health's sustainability program is one important way we support the people we serve by minimizing the impact of our physical footprint. Check out our Climate Action Plan on the AKN which will fulfill our pledge to: reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, and engage with staff and our community to promote climate education and encourage action.

I attend monthly All Together Better Champion meetings as well as share important well-being content with my colleagues!

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 16oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

Check out the Allina Health Environmental Sustainability AKN page to find case studies and resources.

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will spend 200 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about what medical device reprocessing is and how it works, including whether my organization has a program, and if so, which items it collects.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

I will replace 120 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.
