How a COVID-19 ICU Nurse finds the mental healing of patients a greater focus after caring for many fighting the virus.

As you make your choice about when and if you are going to roll up your sleeve to get the flu shot this year, here are five things that members of Generation Y should keep in mind about the flu, according to infectious disease specialist and fellow millennial, Minji Kang, MD.

Whoever thought a day would come when the ease of movement itself would no longer be easy? Well, when gyms and fitness centers closed across the country for months in 2020 that’s exactly what happened.

How well do you handle change? While those of us in our mid-20s, 30s, and now 40 have been confronted with having to make some pretty big adjustments in our millennial lives before the COVID-19 pandemic, life since March 2020 has presented an exceptionally frequent amount of change.

What concerns you more? The flu or COVID-19? For many millennials, it’s both.

For most of us, the company picnic, ice cream socials for workers in your office building on a hot summer day, and free food delivered to your team to reward them for their hard work bring back fond memories of office life. But what was and still is their common purpose?

As the 2021-2022 Flu Season kicks-off this month, infectious disease specialist and fellow millennial, 34-year-old, Minji Kang, MD, shares with us what’s unique about this season and why we should make the time to get our flu shots.

The on-the-go life of being a millennial—balancing work, relationships, caregiving, our own time to exercise, and household responsibilities—can be exhausting. No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken this to another level.

Have you become a mindful eater? If there’s anything that working from home has taught many of us these past 18 months, it’s that the kitchen is way too close for comfort. With unlimited breaks to eat and not enough willpower, we’ve had to rethink how to eat healthily and maintain a healthy weight.

For many millennials, the concept of “health” has taken on a whole new meaning since the coronavirus hit the US. But for some, health has played a front-and-center role in their daily lives for years. And the pandemic has just taken that to another level.

Why showing up to get the flu shot this season could make millennials the heroes of the Coronavirus pandemic story.
