HEALTHY BODIES, HEALTHY MINDS…….2009/2010

 

Beatrice Community Hospital/Gage County PATCH continues to promote the theme HEALTHY MINDS/HEALTHY BODIES for the school/community year of 2009-10.  This educational/informational campaign will keep regular healthy lifestyle topics in  school and work newsletters and on local websites. Healthy minds and bodies lead to healthy lives. 

Gage County PATCH will continue to publicize ways and resources to help adults and children develop healthier minds and bodies. For further information about the campaign, contact:

Sharon Langvardt, MS, PATCH coordinator at: 402-228-3386 or bluevalley@alltel.net   

 

Our "MISSION" is to promote coordination and resource sharing in health promotion and education; and ultimately to enhance the health and health awareness of Gage County.

Beatrice Community Hospital/Gage County (NE) PATCH coalition was initiated in 1986. In coordination with national health objectives, Beatice Community Hospital/PATCH targets 3 objectives as guidelines in planning for the year 2010:

1. Improve nutrition (focus on obesity) through school and worksite education

2. Reduce unintentional injuries through safety awareness-carseats, seatbelts, smoke alarms, personal care

3. Improve physical activity and fitness by increasing opportunity for activity

4. Improve mental health awareness through informational campaign
