About Dignity Health’s north state hospitals
Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta, Mercy Medical Center Redding, and
St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff are members of Dignity Health.
We are passionate about patient care; committed to community outreach;
advocates for the underserved; and dedicated to delivering quality, affordable
health services to those in need.
All three hospitals have been honored with numerous awards. Mercy Medical
Center Mt. Shasta has been recognized as a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital
in the Nation by the National Rural Health Association. Mercy Medical Center
Redding has received National Research Corporation’s Consumer Choice
Award for seven consecutive years, and is the recipient of the Healthgrades
Distinguished Hospital Award for the third consecutive year. St. Elizabeth
Community Hospital has been named a Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospital
in the Nation for seven consecutive years (2007 to 2013)—an honor no other
California hospital of its size has achieved. The hospitals also offer a broad array
of outpatient services and the senior services of the Golden Umbrella Adult Day
Health Care and Shasta Senior Nutrition Program.
Every cell in your body needs water to
stay healthy. Water also helps regulate
your temperature, cushion your organs,
lubricate your joints, and keep your
digestive system going strong.
Your body loses water through sweat,
when you use the restroom, and even
when you exhale. And that water must
be replaced. Keeping your body hydrated
is usually a matter of drinking something
when you’re thirsty and with meals.
In addition to water, beverages
such as milk, fruit juice, and even (in
moderate amounts) coffee or tea can
help meet your body’s need for fluids.
However, you may need to drink
more fluids when it’s hot out or if
you play sports or do a lot of vigorous
exercise. Otherwise, your body could
overheat or become dehydrated. You are
also more likely to become dehydrated
when you have a fever or diarrhea or
you’re vomiting.
Turn on the tap
Here are some ideas that can help you
stay well-hydrated:
Have some H2O to go.
Carry a
refillable water bottle.
Please your palate.
Don’t like how
plain water tastes? Add a lime or lemon
slice.
Plate up more produce.
Fruits and
veggies are often water-rich, including
carrots, tomatoes, lettuce,
melons, and oranges.
Up your intake.
Make
sure you drink water
before, during, and after
exercising.
Staying well-hydrated is a must
Stay hydrated.
