Synergy health center to close for renovations
Posted: at 9:23 pm
EXETER Synergy Health & Fitness will close at the end of the year for 14 months for construction of a comprehensive musculoskeletal center.
Hospital officials say Synergy Health & Fitness will close on Dec. 1, 2012 and will reopen with the new musculoskeletal center in the spring of 2014.
The renovation project is a result of the Seacoast regions growing need for musculoskeletal services, the hospital said in a statement released on Wednesday.
The Synergy Health & Fitness building is located on the hospitals campus.
By offering clinical specialty services including orthopaedics, podiatry, rheumatology, neurology, neurosurgery, comprehensive rehabilitation; and alternative medicine, the musculoskeletal center will focus on effectively and efficiently evaluating and treating bone, joint, and muscle conditions, the hospital statement said. Synergy will continue to offer medically-based fitness programs.
All of the approximately 3,000 Synergy members were notified this week about the temporary closure in a letter mailed to their homes.
Patient-related services currently provided in the Synergy building, including acupuncture, massage, nutrition, cancer Well-fit program, cardiac rehabilitation, and physical/occupational rehabilitation (AthletiCare) will be temporarily relocated to another building on the Exeter Hospital campus during the construction period.
Hospital officials said approximately five full-time, 27 part-time, and 53 per diem Synergy staff will be impacted by the temporary closure on Dec. 1.
These staff members have received six months notice, during which time they will be provided with extensive job search assistance, the hospital statement said. Some of the impacted staff may be able to transfer to positions elsewhere in the organization. After the Dec. 1 closing date, we will provide salary and benefits continuation for a set period of time to those who have not secured another position. Current Synergy staff will have first rights of reemployment when the facility reopens.
Coon Rapids seniors learn about fitness, exercise and nutrition
Posted: at 9:23 pm
Senior citizens at the Coon Rapids Senior Center celebrated National Senior Health and Fitness Day May 30 with special activities and guests, including Kelly Lindell, host of the cable TV show Active Aging.

The event centered around five aspects of fitness: mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional and social.
Physical fitness book-ended the event, as Lindell led beginning exercises and Greg Springman of Live 2 B Healthy Senior Fitness led the exercises at the end.
I like to think of physical fitness as the book-ends which hold up your health. If youre physically unfit its hard to do other things, Lindell said.
Lindell has worked for more than 20 years in the fitness industry with NordicTrack, Medtronic and Lifetime Fitness. Her TV show Active Aging is geared towards helping seniors stay healthy and strong. The show started airing a year and a half ago.
Lindell is also owner and president of Comfort Keepers In-Home Care Northwestern Twin Cities office.
According to Lindell, muscle mass can quickly decrease in later years, a rate of six pounds of muscle per decade, but fitness can prevent that loss and increase muscle mass.
A loss in muscle mass can lead to more arthritis pain, a lower metabolism and other health problems, Lindell said.
And aging can really just be a loss of use as adults become more sedentary, she said.

Health 2.0 Announces Winners of the Washington D.C. Health Data & Innovation Week Code-a-Thon: Preventing Obesity
Posted: at 11:16 am
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire -06/05/12)- Health 2.0 today announced the winners of the Washington D.C. Health Data & Innovation Week Code-a-Thon: Preventing Obesity, sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and Kaiser Permanente.

The center showcases advances in care delivery and offers a forum for innovators, thought leaders, policy makers and other industry stakeholders to work together to improve quality, safety and cost effectiveness of care.
Teams comprised of students, software developers and researchers participated in the two-day event that required contestants to use publicly available data to create online tools and applications to enhance quality of care and prevent obesity.
"The judges had an especially difficult time choosing a winner and extended passes to the Health 2.0 fall conference to the second place team to encourage further development of its app," said Indu Subaiya, Co-Chair and CEO of Health 2.0.
School Fit won first place for developing an app that uses physical fitness data from the California Department of Education to measure and publicize the fitness of children in public schools.

Healthy Plate placed second by creating a mobile app that educates and improves nutritional literacy by displaying the nutritional information about the user's food they intend to purchase by portion, recipe or grocery list. It won $3,000 and two passes to Health 2.0's annual conference.

Promoting employee health one step at a time
Posted: at 11:16 am
Bangalore, June 6:
Stepathlon Lifestyle Pvt Ltd, a global wellness company, has launched a new initiative to create an ecosystem that promotes health and fitness among employees within their organisations.
The Stepathlon initiative is a mass participation programme that encourages employees to take at least 10,000 steps a day over 100 days. Stepathlon is open to companies across industries and countries.
Companies participating in the Stepathlon can enter as many teams as they want. Each team comprises five employees, called Stepathletes, from single or multiple locations. Participants wear a pedometer (step counting device) and enter their steps on the Stepathlon event Web site. These steps are converted into kilometres and their teams position is mapped on Stepathlons interactive online platform.
The race will be conducted at 40 different locations on the Stepathlon map of the virtual world, and teams will compete to be the fittest team and the fittest company. Stepathlon 2012 begins on September 10, 2012, and runs through to December 20, 2012.
Mr Ravi Krishnan, co-founder and CEO, Stepathlon Lifestyle Pvt Ltd, says that apart from better health for employees, Stepathlon also reduces the costs of absenteeism and presenteeism ( where an individual is physically present but unable to put in 100 per cent effort).
