The Labrador Heart Health Coalition continues to hold teleconferences to share ideas with
their members, provide program updates and to organize heart health events throughout their
Region.
Walking Programs.......Communities along the coast are continuing with their heart health
activity programs, which are especially popular in the evenings. To take
advantage of the warmer weather, the walking programs moved out of doors
for the summer months.
Weight Watchers Program....Several staff at the William Jackman Hospital in Labrador
City are involved in a weight watchers program. Renee Bowers, Health Educator,
has held cholesterol information sessions with the groups and plans are
underway to offer a grocery store tour.
Ticker Tom Labrador......Two Ticker Tom Heart Health Training Workshops were
organized and implemented in Labrador, one in Goose Bay and the other
in Wabush. The training workshops met with much interest and enthusiasm. The Labrador
Heart Health Coalition would like to acknowledge and thank all those who participated.
Heart Smart Cooking Program.....Interest continues throughout this Region
in the Heart Smart Cooking Program.
Heart Health Sessions......Heart Health sessions have been held for a variety
of groups throughout the Region. New facilities have provided
opportunities to offer more Heart Health presentations.
