Member of the Month – September 2015

By Gayla Wichman - The Center News

Jacob Mizell
Name: Jacob Mizell
Member Since: December 2014

What are your fitness goals for 2015?

1) Gain a healthier living style

2) Loose excess fat

3) Gain muscle mass and maintain all of that

What is your weekly workout routine?

I usually work out every day in the morning, focusing on different muscle groups per day and then adding cardio between sets. My workouts are normally between a hour and a half to two hours. I also add a double workout at least once a week depending on how I feel that day.

What keeps you motivated?

1) I set goals for myself every month.

2) I try to make the workouts fun and enjoyable!

3) The main thing that keeps me motivated is; for me working out is a time to shut off the worries of life and leave my problems behind for an hour or two, so basically a type of stress reliever for me.

4) Seeing results keeps me going!

Do you have a success story to share?

Not really. Just one day I decided I was tired of making excuses and for living an unhealthy life. I knew down the line making this decision would be a life changer and would be beneficial. I was also tired of looking at myself in the mirror and not being happy with what I saw.

Hays Medical Center awarded for efforts to make working and breastfeeding easier for employees

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News

Hays, KS, August 5, 2015 – Hays Medical Center has received the Gold Level “Breastfeeding Employees Support Award” from the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition and its Business Case for Breastfeeding program.

The award is based on proven and established standards to benefit employers and employees. It recognizes businesses that provide support services to their breastfeeding employees, to include education as well as the time and space for employees to nurse and/or pump breastmilk at their workplace. The award, the top ranking of three sponsored by the Coalition, was presented by Brenda Bandy, director of the Business Case for Breastfeeding program in Kansas.

According to Bandy, the Hays Medical Center received the award for achieving a high level of support to their employees as outlined in the Coalition’s criteria. She said they provide a “gold level” pumping room, allow flexible time to pump, and have instituted a policy of breastfeeding support.

Pointing out that many breastfeeding mothers abandon breastfeeding when they return to work because they lack the support and appropriate facilities at their place of employment, Bandy said, “We want to help change that unfortunate situation”. She cited research showing that adequate support for breastfeeding employees benefits businesses through savings in health care expenses, reduced turnover rates, lower absenteeism, and increased employee loyalty. Employers that have established support services for breastfeeding employees have reported a $3 for $1 return on investment plus realizing a more productive working environment.

“Many Kansas employers recognize the benefits of supporting their breastfeeding employees. We want to shine the spotlight on as many employers as we can for doing their part to make returning to work while breastfeeding easier in hopes that will encourage more businesses to follow suit,” says Martha Hagen, a Kansas WIC state breastfeeding coordinator and Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition Board Chair.

Businesses that provide support services for their breastfeeding employees can be considered for a “Breastfeeding Employees Support Award” at the bronze, silver and gold levels. Applications are available at http://www.kansasbusinesscase.com/for_employers/employer_awards .

The Business Case for Breastfeeding is a program to assist employers in developing or enhancing support services for their breastfeeding employees. The Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition is a non-profit 501(c) 3 with the mission of working collaboratively to promote and protect breastfeeding in order to improve the health of Kansas families.
