Good evening, I'm Dion Cheney.And I'm Nicole Winters.Thanks for joining us.Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States.And one organization in New Ulm is well aware of that...Today they launch a new program to bring people together and keep their hearts healthy.News 12's Bryan Piatt has more.These people are part of something brand new.It's a program called Heart of New Ulm... Its mission... to prevent heart attacks.Jeff VanWormer says, "It really is one of the few attempts, or first attempts to go beyond the walls of a traditional hospital and clinic."Inside these walls...faculty and staff at Martin Luther College go from station to station...and are then given their risk of having a heart attack.Jeff VanWormer says, "Once you understand what your risk is that sort of empowers you to make changes to improve your risk."Bryan Piatt says, "Getting your blood pressure checked is just one part of the screening process. People taking part say they are learning some changes they need to make."John Gronholz says, "I need to eat more fruits and vegetables."Both John and Char were screened today.Char says she looks forward to improving her health and being more active.Char Friedrich says, "I'm excited because I just know that with exercise you get those endorfins going. That good feeling is what you need to aim for and that's my goal."And the program doesn't stop with the screening process.Heart of New Ulm is creating ways to keep people motivated when they leave.Jeff VanWormer says, "We're building a lot of programs, courses, education stuff over the internet, over the telephone stuff with the clinic providers."The program is starting by heading into different establishments.But on May 15th they'll begin hosting public screenings where anyone can take part...free of charge.Jeff VanWormer says, "In 10 years we will have an impact on heart attacks in the area."In New Ulm, Bryan Piatt, News 12.
