Do you know someone whose health has greatly improved as a result of making long-term healthy lifestyle changes? Have you lost a lot of weight in the past year, started living healthier or know someone who has? The American Heart Association invites you to nominate yourself or a healthy friend for the Lifestyle Change Award.
The Putnam County Region of the American Heart Association is accepting nominations for their Lifestyle Change Award, sponsored locally by Marshall & Sterling. The award honors individuals who have made positive changes to improve their quality of life and overall health.
Ideal candidates are people who have taken control of their health in areas of diet, exercise or tobacco cessation and seen positive results in weight, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar. Winners will be recognized at the association’s Heart Walk on April 23rd at Brewster High School.
To nominate an individual for a Lifestyle Change Award download by downloading the form at http://bit.ly/PutnamLCA17 or by contacting Rosanne Goodman at Rosanne.goodman@heart.org. Application deadline is March 30th.
Heart Walk registration is open online at www.putnamheartwalk.org. Corporate, community and family teams are welcome to register to walk for their own heart health and the funds raised will help other hearts in our community.
The Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway and locally by Signature Sponsor, Putnam Hospital Center, and local sponsors NYU Langone – Hudson Valley Cardiology, PracticeMax, and media sponsors Hudson Valley Magazine, Examiner Media, Mahopac News, and WHUD.

Our mission is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been fighting heart disease and stroke, striving to save and improve lives. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
