The 80% Opportunity. Eighty percent of heart disease is preventable by what we eat, how we move, the way we live. We believe by taking several small steps over time, we create a remarkable finish.
Each month we share a small challenge to help you take another step toward living your best, healthiest life.
I WILL: HEAL IT FORWARD
Doing good just feels better. It turns out that self-help can be a lonely journey sometimes; focusing some of your energy toward helping others supports your community and makes you healthier along the way.
Volunteering can help reduce your risk of high blood pressure, depression, and chronic pain. Research shows that people who give back to their community experience better overall health, greater life satisfaction, higher self-esteem, and a greater ability to manage their own chronic illnesses. Healing it forward makes your community healthier – and doing good always comes back to support you, too.
Start Small: Check out our webpage dedicated to this initiative and join us for a volunteering experience!
Finish Remarkable: Build a relationship with an organization that you care about. Research shows that regular volunteering has the greatest impact on your health!
Heal It Forward for the holidays! We held a conversation about this very topic and invited two organizations to participate; both happened to be the recipient and runner-up of our 2022 Think With Your Heart Community Award earlier this year. We are supporting their efforts to support our communities with a donation drive - items can be dropped off at our West Portland location or you can choose to order via their Amazon shopping list and have it shipped directly to their offices. We’d love to have you participate or identify an organization close to your heart for support this holiday season. Learn more!
