A New Year..New Hours & New Health Services

A new year is approaching quite quickly and we are getting ready to open up a gamut of new opportunities within the community for health conscious seminars, local fun activities, community education and heart health services.  So we are working hard to put finishing touches on the Quarterly Newsletter and make it available to you by next week. 

It is a pleasure for me to research new innovative ways to engage with the public for awareness of heart disease, products that maintain safe and efficient avenues to provide CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation and promote healthier hearts. Stay tuned for what's in store for Houston, Humble, The Woodlands, Conroe and Galveston areas. We can't wait to host and join in on some local fun activities with you in the coming year. 

Heart Healthy Regards,

Yolanda Williams

Active Shooter...What would you do?!

   In 2013, the president signed into law the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, which granted the attorney general the authority to assist in the investigation of "violent acts and shootings occurring in a place of public use" and in the investigation of "mass killings and attempted mass killings at the request of an appropriate law enforcement official of a state or political subdivision."  To make matters more accurate, the FBI (2014) initiated its own study of "active shooter" incidents. The goal of the FBI study is to provide federal, state, and local law enforcement with data so they can better understand how to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from these incidents.

  The FBI identified 160 active shooter incidents that occurred in the United States between 2000 and 2013. Since then there has been an increasingly rising number of threats, with the formation of ISIS.

  Is your school, business, church or mall ready for an active shooter threat? Would you run, hide or fight? 

Watch this PSA video:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK9lMgzwMXA  and urge your employer or safety coordinator to host an emergency preparedness training session this month. Everyone deserves an advantage against close combat shooting events and their kids should be informed as well.

Thank you for taking a few moments to read what we have shared. We learned valuable information by researching U.S. Department of Justice's Active Shooter statistical occurrence reports.

We hope that you will share this information as we have.

It's Getting Hot In Here! HOUSTON

 HOUSTON CAN YOU STAND THE HEAT?!

      This summer is going to be a hot one! And with multiple outdoor summer activities like boot camps (shout out to Shape Fitness USA, summer 2012!), kid camps, vacation bible school, and other waterpark adventures, we all must remain vigilant against heat-related injuries, especially in Houston, Texas.

   There are three heat-related injuries that can cause severe harm to the human body and may cause death:  heat cramp, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The most deadly is heat stroke!

HEAT CRAMP

   Heat cramps may develop after long periods of direct sunlight without rest (up to 6 hours). The cramp usually is found in the hamstrings, accompanied by sweating, redness of the face, headaches and dizziness. This is the mildest from of heat-related injury.

HEAT EXHAUSTION

   Heat exhaustion develops after long periods of working in direct sunlight over two or three days (up to 8 hours). The symptoms of exhaustion are cramping of the legs, hot, dry skin, dizziness, nausea, and redness of the face and skin. This is the intermediate form of heat-related injury.

HEAT STROKE

   Heat stroke develops as a result of extreme heat over several days in short periods of work or play in direct sun exposure. Often times, without adequate hydration for the body. Heat stroke symptoms are dizziness, confusion, headache, cramping, nausea and vomiting, hot, dry skin and immense thirst.

Now that we know what to look for this summer to mitigate heat injury, let's learn how to beat the heat and summer-proof our activities. The best defense is PREVENTION.

-Drink more fluids NOW                                         -Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink

-Stay indoors, and in air-conditioned places      -Take a cool shower or bath

-Wear lightweight clothing; loose-fitting             -NEVER leave anyone (pet) in closed car

-Check on the ill, elderly and children regularly, as they are at greater risk for injury

   Remember what signs to look for and symptoms and have sports drinks ans sunscreen readily available. Follow these helpful tips from CDC and you can definitely BEAT the Houston heat.
