Do you wish you could lose that 25 pounds
of extra weight you’ve been carrying around for the last few years, but nothing
seems to work? Do you know you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol,
but you just can’t seem to figure out how to lower it? Most people would like
to become healthier, but they just don’t seem to know what to do to make it happen.
The Medical Foundation wants you to be
healthy in 2014 and we’re asking members of the community to submit your
personal stories and struggles with becoming healthier. In 500 words or less, along with your name,
address, phone number, age and current health status, tell us your story and
email it to info@sbmf.org before March 21st
at 5pm. Submissions may also be sent to
The Medical Foundation c/o Colleen Hahn, 530 North Lafayette Blvd, South Bend,
IN 46601. We’ll choose six participants who will receive all the tools
necessary to become healthier.
We’ve teamed up with physicians from FamilyMedicine of South Bend PC and they’ve agreed to meet with candidates monthly to
discuss their progress. The MedicalFoundation will provide lab testing free of charge and will track your progress
on a regular basis. Memorial Health& Lifestyles Center is providing a free, one year membership and bi-weekly
meetings with a Fitness Specialist.
Also, since nutrition is so important, St. Joseph Regional MedicalCenter will also provide monthly counseling sessions for better nutrition. All the participants have to agree to a
year-long commitment to becoming healthier and allow The Medical Foundation and
The South Bend Tribune to follow and track their stories on social and print media.
It really is that simple!
Help other community members learn from
your successes and challenges as we follow your story throughout the next year.
Send us your story today!
