Hilo Medical Center Tour & Luncheon
Art, Elena, Marissa and Dr. Nordling lead us on a tour through the new Family Health Center and Residency Program. Additionally we received an overview and tour of the Hui Pono, the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine Program, the first and only program that is scientifically proven to slow, stop, and even reverse the progression of heart disease. This Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation program brings about its life-changing results by helping participants adopt and sustain lifestyle changes in four areas of their lives: what they eat; how active they are; how they respond to stress; and how much love & support they have in their lives. By optimizing these four elements, the program empowers them to minimize their reliance on medications, avoid future surgeries, and most importantly, re-take control of their health.
The program is scientifically proven to:
- Reduce the risk of heart-related events
- Decrease the frequency and severity of chest discomfort
- Lower the likelihood of future surgery
- Lessen dependence on medications
- Lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure, and bring about weight loss
- Increase your capacity for exercise
In conclusion, I think it is safe to say, Rotarians like to pose for pictures with skeletons and mannequins!
