Back in February, Sherman Health created two items on Facebook to increase heart awareness.

Heart-Healthy Recipe Contest

The winner of the contest would have his or her recipe featured on the menu at the Sherman Café every Friday from March 13 – April 2. After deliberation, a group of judges has come to a decision. Congratulations to our Recipe Contest winner, Ana Ortiz-Hollian!

Ana’s recipe was for stuffed shells, made with ground turkey, fat-free cheeses and a wide variety of vegetables. But Ana’s recipe was not the only standout in the group. Because of the quality of the submitted recipes, we will be adding a recipe section to the blog that will make it easy to find the best submitted recipes. Look for these new posts in the coming weeks!

Support American Heart Month and Win a Free CT Scan

In an effort to increase awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy heart, we created a Cause on Facebook that asked people to join and accepted donations to the American Heart Association. The winner of a free CT scan was randomly selected yesterday. Congratulations to Chris Walker Brandt!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who submitted a heart-healthy recipe or joined our Facebook cause. Be on the lookout for more recipes in the near future, and don’t forget to sign up for your own CT scan. The scans are highly recommended for men over 40 and women over 45.
