The demands of motherhood can often collide with the complexities of mental health, especially for new mothers. Navigating mental health challenges while caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming. Recognizing when one may be struggling and knowing where and how to seek support is a crucial first step.
Taking care of one’s mental wellness is vital for leading a balanced, healthy life. As the new year begins and resolutions start to take shape, it’s important to prioritize mental health as part of a self-care routine. When mental health is overlooked, stress, anxiety and even burnout can emerge, negatively impacting both personal and professional life.
As we enter our 11th year in the market, our organization is now doing business as Sutter Health Plan effective Jan. 1, 2025. The name Sutter Health Plan more clearly and concisely communicates who we are — a health plan that is part of the Sutter Health family.
2024 marked a significant milestone for Sutter Health Plus as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary on January 1. To commemorate this achievement, we are giving back to the communities that have supported us throughout the years by donating a total of $136,000 to five charities that share our commitment to improving people’s lives in our local communities.
