The Parish Nurse ministry is a partnership of Colonial Heights Baptist Church and the Wellmont Healthcare System. Our nurse, Pam Arms, is a special person who helps us combine faith and health for abundant living in God's kingdom. Pam offers health checks, wise counsel, personal checks on homebound and hospital folks, and special programming for our congregation. Get to know her and take good care of "God's temple," your body!
Risk Factors For Heart Disease You Can Control
When it comes to heart disease, there are more than twice as many risk factors that you can do something about compared to those that are out of your control.
You can lower your risk if you:
• Dont Smoke
• Stay at a healthy body weight
• Exercise at least 30 minutes everyday
• Control blood pressure
• Limit daily intake of salt
• Control cholesterol
Wear red to church on Sunday, February 5, designated “by the American Heart Association as "Churches Go Red Day,"” to show your support of the fight against heart disease in women.
