It’s important to take care of your own health,” said Dr. Bryant, “You have to be healthy in order to take care of other people.

She stated the importance of keeping your family close, and keeping your mind sharp by continuing to do hobbies and the things that you love. “Trust your gut and know when to ask for help. Never lose your love of learning, and be curious about everything.”
