Rural Health Outreach Program Recognized
A hospital in Hastings has won an award this week for their diabetes program called Salud Para Su Corazón that targets minorities in Adams, Webster and Nuckolls counties.
Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital won the Organization Exceptional Merit Award handed out by the Nebraska Public Health Conference in Lincoln.
The cool thing here is that according to the Chief Medical Officer, the program helped 300 people, and half of the participants lost weight, increased physical fitness and ate more fruits and veggies.
