SAY YES! TO SUCCESSExcellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives choice, not chance, determines your destiny. ~ Aristotle

We make choices every day of varying degrees of importance. Some of these are in our control: Getting up or pressing the snooze button? Slowing down at a yellow light or speeding up? Choosing a salad over French fries?

However, some things are out of our control, and one moment can change everything. Just ask Jermile Richards, whose life changed in an instant. What started as a regular day turned into a life-or-death situation in a matter of seconds. Although he could not control his circumstance, Jermile made the decision to not let a traumatic experience overwhelm his personal goals. He chose our Health Coach certificate program because he was motivated to improve his personal health. Today, hes paying it forward through proactive health education for children. Read more about his incredible story on page 16.

Where do you see yourself in the next hour, day and year and how will you get there? More importantly, what motivates you? Some people set goals, and others achieve them. Just ask Jermile and many of our other graduates who can proudly say, I Did It!

When it comes to your future, what types of decisions are you ready to make for your own personal achievement? If you desire to increase your knowledge and advance your career, what actions are you taking to make it happen?

Say yes to your success! The choice is yours.On The Cover (story on page 16)

GERONTOLOGISTS IN DIRE NEED

PROGRAM PROVIDES ANSWER TO AGING POPULATION

Did you know in 1916 the average life expectancy in America was 49.6 years for males and 54.3 years for females? Today, just 100 years later, those numbers have greatly increased to 76.4 and 81.2, respectively (CDC). As a result, by 2030, roughly 31 million Americans will be older than 75, the largest such population in American history (U.S. Census Bureau projections).

As quoted in the recent New York Times feature titled As Population Ages, Where Are the Geriatricians? (bit.ly/NYTgerontology), Terry Fulmer, president of the John A. Hartford Foundation, which funds programs to improve the care of older adults, said, One of the greatest stories of the 20th century was that we doubled the life expectancy of adults. Now we need to make sure we have all the supports in place to assure not just a long life but a high quality of that long life.

By 2050, its projected there will be 88.5 million Americans aged 65 and older more than double that of 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau). The booming elderly population has led to several career opportunities. According to the AJC, services for the elderly and disabled is Georgias 3rd-fastest growing job industry with a growth of 56% since 2008. Our Professional Development in Gerontology certificate program is a direct response to these trends and needs. The course examines the revolution occurring in the U.S. and the world as the average age continues to rise.

Students in the Gerontology program will gain increased knowledge, skills and confidence in the aging field, become prepared for emerging roles and new challenges in the aging arena, meet leaders and other professionals in the field and increase their organizations level of professionalism.

I wanted to be more educated about the aging process and be able to give back to the community, said Zola Thurmond, program graduate. The program was extraordinary. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It

changed my life because I know about the process of aging, what to expect, and how to help others.

The nine-month class runs from Sept. through May. One, full-day class (9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) meets on the second Tuesday of each month, providing flexibility for working individuals to attend. Dr. Lois Ricci enters her sixth year of instructing the course. She has worked in the field of aging for more than 35 years in both the hospital and academic settings as a geriatric nurse practitioner/educator and consultant.

Dr. Ricci is a true gem, said Chris Foster, program graduate. Her vast experience and resources in gerontology were conveyed in a very practical and easy to understand manner.

The class is comprised of interdisciplinary teaching, supportive learning and exposure to leaders in aging applicable to the students workplace. It draws from a diverse group of students including those that are dentists, doctors, lawyers, paralegals, nursing students, caregivers and career changers.

Registration costs $699 with full and partial scholarship opportunities available. Since its 2007 inception, the program has graduated more than 200 students. Of those, 134 students have been awarded scholarships totaling $73,225 allowing them to take part in the class.

This course helped me to take care of my parents, said Fran Crute, program graduate. Both of them have dementia, diabetes, and high blood pressure. I really learned a lot and am thankful for this class.

Is gerontology for you? There are many reasons why our students register for this program. Perhaps you work in the healthcare industry and want to relate better to the older generation. Or, maybe you want to learn successful techniques to properly care for your parents or grandparents. No matter what your situation is, wed like to invite you to find out more at our upcoming Open House on July 28. The next class is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Sept. 13. For more information, see the following page.

Occupational Trends Services for the Elderly and Disabled is the third-fastest growing job industry in Georgia with a growth of 56% since 2008 (AJC).

Industry Trends There are only 127 certified

geriatricians in Georgia, against a need for 442 based on the elderly population.

Georgia is projected to have 1.9 million residents over 65 by 2030, up from 1 million in 2014.

The problem is nationwide. Its estimated that 30,000 geriatricians will be needed by 2030 to care for 21 million elderly. There were just over 7,000 in 2014.

Older adults account for one-quarter of all doctors office visits, one-third of all hospital stays, and more than one-third of emergency medical responses. Four in five need care for chronic conditions like heart disease, hypertension and arthritis.

Source: AJC

Currently, 1 in 8 individuals in the U.S. is over age 65. The elderly population will more than double between 2000 and 2030. By 2030, 1 in every 4 individuals will be over age 65. SSSF (Steuben Senior Services Fund, Inc.)

Between 2010 and 2050, the United States is projected to experience rapid growth in its older population. In 2050, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to be 88.5 million, more than double its reported population of 40.2 million in 2010. U.S. Census Bureau

The course is excellent, said Valerie Schwartz, 2014 graduate. I learned plenty of things I never knew before. It helped me to better understand what seniors are going through, and I learned the things I will need to do to prepare for my own future of aging. Dr. Ricci [instructor] is wonderful and an inspiration to us all.

A SECOND CHANCE

Health Coach graduate using his story to transform lives

Jermile Richards had his future mapped out. Then life happened. At six-foot-three, 320 pounds, he played football in high school, junior college and with a semi-professional league. Once his playing days were over, he returned home to Cartersville to begin coaching at the middle-school level. It was during this time that Richards life would drastically change.

The then-25-year-old Richards was preparing for work and began feeling dizzy. Alone at the time, Richards was on the phone with his mother when he fainted. She called 9-1-1. My mom beat the paramedics to my house, Richards recalled. If I hadnt been on the phone with her, it couldve been a lot worse.

Richards was life-flighted to Emory Hospital and admitted to ICU in a comatose state. He suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to bleeding into the brain from abnormal brain vessels. Doctors alerted his family to say their goodbyes and prepare for his funeral. Amazingly, after three weeks, Richards emerged from his coma.

I am a miracle, he said. I got a second chance. Upon completing a series of tests, Richards was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain.

Doctors immediately ordered two surgeries to restore blood flow to Richards brain by opening narrowed blood vessels and bypassing blocked arteries. With two long visible scar lines running vertical on each side of his head, Richards explained they had to reroute his main arteries from behind his eyes sockets to allow better blood flow.

The long road back to recovery continued with a six-month rehabilitation stint at Atlantas renowned Shepherd Center. There, Richards was tasked with re-learning how to walk, talk, eat and run. His experience sparked a life-changing discovery of a new passion health and fitness.

I saw the changes in other peoples lives, and I wanted to be a part of it, Richards said. He proudly shares the day he resumed a normal life. July 7, 2010. Ill never forget that day, he said.

Richards returned to work and landed a coaching position on Kennesaw Mountain High Schools football staff. However, without a bachelors degree, he was searching for other educational or training opportunities to pursue his new passion of health and fitness. My wife is a KSU graduate and receives the schools mailings, Richards said. She knows how much health is important to me and alerted me of the Health Coach certificate program.

The program taught Richards how to transform the way people live by expanding his expertise in exercise science, fitness and behavior modification. Additionally, he received hands-on training in implementing weight and stress management plans, incorporating physical activity to improve overall health and improving nutrition and eating habits.

This class was a great opportunity for me, Richards said. The program was very affordable when compared to other colleges. The time frame was great, and the instructors were very knowledgeable.

Since graduating from the program, Richards has taken charge of his own health and fitness. By adding more exercise and an improved diet, hes seen his weight drop from 320 to 245 pounds. He now takes advantage of every opportunity to talk to people about making healthy choices.

Richards especially has a heart for kids specifically for the subject of childhood obesity. He cites the fact that more than one-third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese in the U.S. America is one of the most obese nations due to all the food ads we see and cheap prices of fast food, he said. Its food anywhere you look.

Up next for Richards is to continue his coaching at KMHS but with a newfound mission of instilling health and fitness knowledge into his players. He also plans on taking the American Council on Exercise Health Coach Certification exam to boost his credentials and create future opportunities to educate others on healthy living.

Excited about his future, Richards, now 31, reflected on his past six years by saying, Im thankful I had that stroke because I probably wouldnt be here today. It was definitely a wakeup call.
