Although only 1% of Seattle’s population identifies as Indigenous, “hundreds of years of colonization, systemic racism, broken treaties, forced reservations, and more have resulted in native peoples making up a startling 15% of Seattle’s homeless population,” as well as 32% of people experiencing chronic homelessness (quote from the Chief Seattle website).

Healthcare practices open and close for many reasons and while we receive most questions about getting started in practice, we also receive questions about closing a practice. In the US, as you may know, most small businesses fail in the first 5 years. However, closing a practice isn’t always about failure. Life commitments may change; the business owner may move into the season of life where one looks toward retirement.

In many hospitals and long-term care facilities, newly hired nurses, many fresh off of their studies , are asked to work the night shift. While a few true night owls prefer this schedule, working through the night is challenging for most nurses. You might find yourself spending a chunk of your time off recovering from your time at work. There are effective ways for how to work the night shift and stay healthy— and caring for your own health will help you better care for others.

But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.
