Portrait of happy woman wearing bathing cap and snorkel, lake in backgroundYou may be happy to hear that the United States is inching its way up on the world happiness scale. But Denmark is still “smiles” above us as the happiest nation.

The UN’s World Happiness Report 2016 Update lists the U.S. as the 13th happiest country. That’s two spots ahead of last year. Holding steady in the top five are:
Denmark
Switzerland
Iceland
Norway
Finland
The researchers found people are happier in places where folks spread good cheer evenly. So despite the cold, Scandinavians have warmed up to sharing their happiness. Their societies boast strong safety nets, which seem to boost happiness.

Happiness measures may mean better public policy
Though the topic may seem lighthearted, it’s no joke. Societies worldwide are paying attention to data on happiness and well-being. It helps them embrace policies that support better lives. And researchers say measuring happiness tells them more about how well a society lives than other factors, such as income and education.

This New York Times article has more on the World Happiness Conference.

img Get high quality care from our special network

Grandson holding flowers behind his back for his Grandmother sitting on a sofaOver the years gastric bypass, cardiac surgery and knee replacement surgery have become fairly common.

But all surgery carries some risk. So it’s important to choose a hospital known for providing quality care.

What makes these facilities different?
To become part of Aetna’s Institutes of Quality® (IOQ) network, facilities must meet strict standards for care, quality and efficiency. We measure many factors. Everything from level of care to how often patients return to the hospital after surgery.

For complete information on the selection criteria visit the IOQ fact book at http://www.aetna.com/individuals-families-health-insurance/document-library/aetna-ioq-factbook.pdf.

How to find the Institutes of Quality

img Know someone who is at risk for opioid overdose?

Couple holding hands Opioids include pain killers prescribed by your doctor and illegal drugs such as heroin. Opioid overdose can occur when someone misuses these drugs. It should not occur when taken as directed by your doctor.

Did you know?
Since 1999, the number of prescription painkillers prescribed and sold in the U.S. has nearly quadrupled.1
Opioid overdoses tripled between 2001 and 2013.2,3
About 15 million people suffer from opioid dependence. But, only 10 percent who need treatment are getting it.4
Naloxone (brand name Narcan®) is an inexpensive medicine and may help. If administered early, it may reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. And, it can prevent deaths due to an overdose.

“When you’re sending someone products from Brooklyn, everybody wins,” said Borough President Adams. “Our borough is proud of our hometown Nets and their playoff run, and we maintain the same ‘wait until next year’ spirit that has been a local refrain ever since the days of the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. In the meantime, Brooklynites are good sports, so I’m happy to send Mayor Reed some of the finest our borough has to offer. Hopefully it will inspire him and other Atlantans to shop for Brooklyn’s best.”

“In the spirit of good sportsmanship, we congratulate the Atlanta Hawks on their win, and are delighted to share some of the finest Brooklyn-Made products with Mayor Reed!” said Brooklyn Chamber President Scissura. “Atlantans should see our gifts as an invitation to Explore Brooklyn, and experience top-rated dining, events, shopping, attractions and much more in the Borough of Kings. We remain proud of our home team, the Brooklyn Nets and are rooting for them to win in next year’s playoff run.”

“While we are sad the Nets lost, we are happy that the Mayor of Atlanta is going to get the opportunity to taste our Brooklyn-Made wine,” said John Stires, co-founder of Brooklyn Winery.

“Though the Nets’ loss was disappointing, we’re happy to have been able to give some of our sweets a good home in Atlanta,” said Liz Gutman, co-founder of Liddabit Sweets.
