an enchanted journey into the deliciously
delightful Candy Kingdom. Performances of
“The Nutcracker” are the first two weekends
in December.
“Mary Poppins,” the charming ballet based
on the stories by P.L. Travers, is about a

life. Performances are offered March 23, 24
and 25. “Peter Pan,” the classic tale by J.M.
Barrie, will be the children’s play presented.
Peter Pan, who refuses to grow up, teaches
the Darling children how to fly. When they

to mermaids, the lost boys and his nemesis,
Captain Hook. Performances of “Peter Pan”
are April 21 and 22.

ROSE YMCA BLOOD
PRESSURE MONITORING
PROGRAM
The Million Hearts campaign was launched
by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services in 2012 with the goal of preventing 1
million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
As part of this effort to prevent
cardiovascular disease, the Y-USA designed
a program to reduce participants’ blood
pressure based on the successful “Check
It, Change It” research study. The YMCA’s
Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program
6 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Carlynton-Montour
supports adults with high blood pressure
in developing the habit of self-monitoring
blood pressure and understanding the role
nutrition plays in pressure management
through personalized support.
The BPSM evidence-based program is
a four-month program designed to help
adults with high blood pressure develop the
habit of routine blood pressure monitoring.
The goals of the program are:
1) Reduce blood pressure.
2) Develop new skills for managing
blood pressure.
3) Gain the ability to identify and
control triggers that raise blood
pressure.
4) Increase confidence in adopting
healthier eating habits.
Heart Healthy ambassadors from
the YMCA will take participants’ blood
pressure during face-to-face meetings
and will train participants to take their
own blood pressure accurately using
the American Heart Association ABCD
protocol.
In addition, the YMCA will offer a
nutrition education seminar each month.

Living Director at the Rose Family YMCA
