#HealthXPH PEACE as Christmas gift
Before the holy night of #Christmas, find one person with whom to make peace. This will be a more precious gift than any that can be bought, because peace is a gift found only in the heart.

We have been doing our best to improve the HIV program, to push for improves services on all points of the HIV care continuum: prevention, diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment, care and support. #HealthXPH crowdsourcing ideas on what else should be done?

I agree! #HealthXPH Negative feedback can hurt, so it is better yet given in private.
T2 The feedback that has the most effect -- good or bad -- is that given in person. It's most rewarding or uncomfortable, because you have to react with no place to escape. #HealthXPh

One memorable feedback was a direct criticism on how I work, and it was really painful to hear, but it opened my eyes on areas of improvement at work, to the point that I actually attended a supervisor development course to prevent repeating the same mistakes. #HealthXPH
T1 is up! T1. Is there feedback or constructive (or non-constructive) criticism that you have received that has stuck with you? Do tell us about it? #healthxph

I took out a loan for my Condo Unit across the hospital. I live there so i can be more independent, although living back in my mother's house is always an option. #Healthxph half my salary goes to paying the loan.
