Whether it's two miles or five, taking that first step could mean a world of difference for your heart.

On June 14, Hallmark Health will host its second Stride for Health walk around Spot Pond in Stoneham. The walk both raises funds and, organizers hope, awareness of the growing problem of heart disease.

"We think we're going to do great," said Sherry Nadworny, Hallmark's director of special events marketing. "We've done well with our sponsors this year and the business community is behind us. We have a lot of people from the hospital and the community signed up for it."

When Americans order a bowl of pasta in a restaurant, typically the dish plopped on the table is the equivalent of six servings, according to Kim Talbot, clinical nutrition manager for Hallmark Health and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital.

"A lot of people are eating at least half of it - that's still three servings," Talbot said.

It's one of the many challenges people face when making a concerted effort to eat better, exercise more and live a healthier lifestyle, so in honor of National Nutrition Month in March, Hallmark Health decided to offer its employees a challenge - and a reward.

Some 74 employees participated in the Hallmark Health Biggest Loser Competition, which was modeled after the NBC television reality show where overweight contestants compete to win $250,000 by losing the highest percentage of their starting body weight.

An elderly man is rushed into the Lawrence Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department in Medford on a stretcher. Nurses immediately surround him.

"Oohh," the man groans, holding a hand to his chest.

"I think he needs to sit up," one of the nurses says, adjusting the bed, as it's wheeled behind a curtain. The patient is given oxygen.

Everyone in the ED works quietly and cautiously. For a busy emergency room, the Medford hosptial is a surprisingly calm environment.

A new policy from the state Office of Emergency Medical Services may cause occasional jam-ups in hospital emergency departments, but locally, Hallmark Health says it's good to go.

On Jan. 1, hospitals across Massachusetts stopped the practice of diverting ambulances during a sudden rush and are now forced to handle the additional load of patients.

Advance For Nurses

By Sarah Long

Dec. 3, 2008

Community hospitals operating outside a major metropolitan area often have the unenviable task of competing with large nationally known medical centers, trying to prove to potential patients they offer the same up-to-date techniques as their reputable neighbors.

However, it is possible to carve a niche in the local community through education and outreach, as evidenced by the successful launch of a comprehensive bone and joint program by Hallmark Health System, the nonprofit inpatient and outpatient provider of vital health services to Boston's northern communities.
