JSL members participated in Phoebe Sumter’s heart walk!

Dr. Jordan Simmons, MD, cardiologist, gave us tips to reduce heart risk. She advised to know your numbers! Know your blood pressure, A1C and cholesterol numbers. The recommendation for blood pressure is under 130/80 and A1C below 7. Also, move your body to lower cardiovascular disease!

Phoebe Sumter purchased and donated four new AEDs to the Cole Varnum Agency. The agency has placed 30 AED’s locally which has saved 2 lives from sudden cardiac arrest in our community.

🐶Oh and we loved hanging out with our fur friend Goose! 🐶
