Cardiopulmonary Nurses host Holiday Health
Challenge luncheon
A motivational tradition, Upland Hills Health Cardiopulmonary
Nurses hosted their annual Holiday Health Challenge on Monday
February 5th. Designed to keep their patients on track, this
annual event has become a socializing favorite. Participants
are challenged to consume optimal amounts of water, fruits
and vegetables. Rewards for most minutes of exercise and
weight loss are also given.

turkey sandwiches, Greek tomato salad, roasted veggies with saffron & soy
sauce, angel food cake with amaretto dip, low-fat chocolate chip cheesecake,
and fresh fruit. Click here to go to recipes.

As Cardiopulmonary Co-Manager Marianne Crowley RN explained, “There
are so many delicious and healthy food selections available
to us today. We just need to train ourselves to make the
right choices.”
Feeding the soul as well as the body, attendees were treated
to a talk by Dr. Mark Bishop on the health benefits of spiritual
living. He presented facts on the negative impact of worry
and focused on the need for a relationship with the living
and loving God to achieve true peace and relief from stress.
