Memorial Hospital Celebrates 50th Anniversary
Plans for Memorial Hospital and Manor's golden anniversary celebration include a "50th Birthday Party" on Sunday, April 18, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. All past and present employees, physicians and volunteers, as well as the community, are invited to enjoy birthday cake, ice cream, a musical performance, an antique car show, and children's games. Old photographs of the hospital facilities or staff are needed for an exhibit. Anyone who would like to share their photos may contact Memorial's Public Relations department at 229-243-6187. Photos will be scanned and returned immediately.
Team Lean Takes A Break
Team Lean coordinators with Memorial Hospital and Manor and the Bainbridge/Decatur County YMCA have decided to take a Team Lean break in 2010 in order to redesign the program for better participation and long term weight loss. Team Lean 2011 will be a new and improved community weight loss program for long term results.
Not only has interest in the annual weight loss competition diminished in the last two years, many participants have not been successful in making permanent lifestyle changes to keep the weight off. "We don't want to see people losing weight, only to gain it back. That's not healthy. We're going to change our methods before sponsoring the competition again in 2011, and we hope to bring a new and improved weight loss program to the community," said Willis.
