Northwest Harris County Heart Walk The American Heart Association will hold its annual Heart Walk for the Northwest Harris County area on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at Lone Star College in CyFair. This fun, family-friendly event promotes physical activity as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle, and raises funds for research and programs to fight heart disease and stroke - our nation’s number one and number three killers. Each year, nearly 865,000 Americans die from some type of cardiovascular disease – more than the next four leading causes of death combined. But we can make that change! This fun-filled non-competitive 5k walk will include approximately 2,000 local residents and 30 businesses and organizations from the Northwest Harris County area dedicated to promoting healthy hearts. The event is being chaired by Rhonda Sandel, CEO of Texas Emergency Care Center, and the overall fundraising goal for the walk is $225,000. Last year’s Northwest Harris County Heart Walk was chaired by Peter Barnhart of Caldwell Companies, and netted $200,000 for cardiovascular disease research – 25% more than the initial fundraising goal. The Northwest Harris County Heart Walk is sponsored locally by Texas Emergency Care Center and nationally by SUBWAY®
Restaurants. Registration for the event will begin at 8:30AM, and
walkers will begin their walk at 9:30AM from Lone Star College-CyFair through the neighborhood of
Towne Lake. Join us for the American Heart

ABOUT AHA: The American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary health organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Our mission is to build healthier lives by preventing, treating and defeating these
diseases – America’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers. We fund cutting-edge research, conduct lifesaving public and professional educational programs, and advocate to protect public health. To learn more or join us in helping all Americans, call 1-800-AHA-USA1 or visit americanheart.org.
CROSSROADS: Community Partnership for Youth Inc. (CROSSROADS), a United Way agency, provides mentoring for youth involved with the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. These youth are in need of caring adults who can serve as mentors to provide encouragement and guidance. With thousands in the juvenile justice system, the need for mentors is growing.
Mentors must be at least 21 years of age, commit to 1 hour each week and attend a training and orientation session. There are many sites, areas (Katy, Clear Lake, Chimney Rock/Bellaire, and Downtown) and available times of the week for mentors to meet with their assigned child. Volunteers mentor boys and girls that are placed in facilities by the juvenile probation department and who are in desperate need of a positive role model.
The program is very simple, flexible and especially beneficially to both the youth and the mentor. Please consider devoting just one hour a week to the future of a needy and hurting child (10 -17 yrs. old). Many times you may be the only positive role model in their lives! The mission of CROSSROADS is to prevent or reduce youth involvement with the juvenile justice system by fostering positive relationships between youth and volunteers. CROSSROADS is symbolic of where the youth we serve are standing - at a critical point in time in their lives.

Although most toddlers in the United States have received all recommended vaccines, many adults and adolescents have not. These missed vaccinations increase their risk for infection, hospitalization, death, and disease spread, and they contribute to the estimated $10 billion that is spent annually on vaccine preventable diseases in the United States. Evidence shows that currently approved vaccines are safe and effective. However, coverage rates for persons of all ages vary nationwide. Reasons cited include lack of health insurance, unfamiliarity with vaccine recommendations, limited access at physicians’ offices, or the perceived cost of vaccines. What you need to know is that obtaining recommended vaccines in a timely manner can prevent disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends the following immunization schedule for generally healthy adults and adolescents:
VACCINE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE *
Influenza: Yearly, especially if at risk
Meningococcal: One dose, age 11-12 or 13-18 if not previously immunized
Tetanus-Diphtheria/Tetanus: One dose, age 11-12, then booster
Diphtheria-Pertussis: every 10 years
Human Papilloma Virus: (Females only) Three doses, age 11-26
Measles - Mumps - Rubella: If born after 1956, one or two doses if never immunized up to age 65
Pneumococcal: One dose, at or after age 65
Varicella (chicken pox): Two doses if no prior infection or immunization received
Zoster (shingles): One dose, at or after age 60
* Specific recommendations for individuals may vary depending on age, prior immunization history and the presence of other existing conditions; please see the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Web site at: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/default.htm.For more information about immunizations and where to get them, contact your health care provider, your Concentra health specialist, or visit the CDC’s Web Site at: www.cdc.gov/vaccines.

All your thoughts and questions are important to us and your positive attitude is always contagious. Our first fundraiser was met enthusiastically and we thank all of you that participated in helping us reach our goals. Our ice cream social on September first was a blast. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS as this would not have happened without you. The students had a blast mingling and getting to know new faces. And who doesn’t like ice cream!!!???
