Welcome to February, National "Heart Health Month"

Yoga has become more prevelant in popular culture over the past few years, with many studios and yoga-related brands popping up.  Yoga is now recommended by many physicians as a healthy practice for both men and women.  However, when you look at the yoga community, it is disproportionately female.  This may be because most men think it's only for women.

Milestone's membership team includes three great membership advisors.  We are honored to know them and thankful for their genuine connections with new and long-time members.  You probably see them around the building, but may not have had the chance to really get to know them.  To learn more about their professional and personal backgrounds, as well as their favorite aspects of working at Milestone, read their stories here!

"My name is Karen Snapp and I am 66 years old. I am a third and fourth grade teacher.  There have been a number of significant losses in my life which have impacted my health.  I joined Milestone in May, 2014 with good intentions of learning how to exercise, making healthy eating choices and to improve the overall quality of my lifestyle. 

I am currently 50 years of age.  My fitness level has been below average most of my adult life.  I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in March of 2008.  This limited the activity I had and resulted in quite a bit of weight gain.

Helen Gurevich started working at Milestone in the fall of 2017, as a nail technician in the Oasis Spa.  She first went to beauty school in the Ukraine, then attended the Beauty Academy of Manhattan in NYC.  She started working in the Ukraine as a nail technician for 5 years.  Then she worked for 13.5 years in New York City.  She has worked in Louisville for 24 years.  Helen is bilingual in Russian and English.  She is married with 2 children and 2 granddaughters. 

Hi! My name is Stephanie Tisone and this month I am celebrating my one-year anniversary at Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center as the Membership Director.

This week, Milestone members and staff went on a bus trip to Brown County.  They had a great time shopping, eating lunch, and spending time together.  Here are some pictures from the trip!

Wow!  At 85 years old, Les Brooks lost 45 pounds in 4 months with the HMR Program at Milestone.  Great job, Les!  Read his story here...
