<strong>Melmark</strong> Supports Breast Cancer Awareness<br />
In celebration of Valentine’s Day and the month of <strong>February</strong>, <strong>Melmark</strong>’s healthcare team is donning pink gloves.<br />
Proceeds from the purchase of these gloves support breast cancer awareness.<br />
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is the second leading cause of death for<br />
females. Adult women of all ages are encouraged to perform breast self-exams at least once a month. While<br />
mammograms can help detect cancer before you can feel a lump, breast self-exams help you to be familiar with<br />
how your breasts look and feel so you can alert a healthcare professional if you notice any changes.<br />
If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don’t panic – 8 out of 10 lumps are not<br />
cancerous. Always call your doctor when you have any concerns.<br />

A Message from Our President...<br />
Joanne Gillis-Donovan, Ph.D.<br />
As we enter March, we look forward to<br />
warmer weather and bright splashes of<br />
color throughout our community as flowers<br />
and trees bloom. This season of rebirth is<br />
welcome after a mild, yet wet winter.<br />
Soon, we will again see the playgrounds and<br />
paths throughout <strong>Melmark</strong>’s campus filled<br />
with children and adults. It’s important<br />
that we each start looking for new and<br />
creative opportunities to get outdoors and<br />
enjoy mother nature. Leading an active and<br />
healthy lifestyle is important for us all, both<br />
clients and staff.<br />
In this newsletter, you will read ways<br />
<strong>Melmark</strong> is making it easier for those we<br />
serve and employees to be healthy. You will<br />
find tips on keeping your diet balanced. We’re<br />
also excited that Sodexo is offering nutritional<br />
information on the foods served in The Eatery<br />
through the popular smart phone application,<br />
MyFitnessPal.<br />
While these tools will help you maintain a<br />
healthy lifestyle, it is also our responsibility to<br />
make sure the children and adults at <strong>Melmark</strong><br />
lead active lives. Planning community trips<br />
and taking advantage of <strong>Melmark</strong>’s many<br />
accommodations are important, and it is often<br />
up to you to make sure our clients have the<br />
opportunity to visit parks, swim, exercise and<br />
play.<br />
Thank you for making sure our clients have<br />
creative and active opportunities outdoors!
Remembering Our Co-Founder<br />
Alumni Return for Miggy Krentel Memorial Service<br />
On Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 10th, <strong>Melmark</strong> family and friends gathered for a<br />
memorial service to honor our co-founder, Mildred “Miggy” Krentel.<br />
The Multi-Purpose Center was filled with members of the Krentel<br />
Family, parents and siblings whose loved ones are served by<br />
<strong>Melmark</strong>, staff and clients.<br />
Perhaps the biggest testament to the depth of Mrs. Krentel’s<br />
great works, was the attendance of several <strong>Melmark</strong> alumni and<br />
former staff members. Terry, the first infant to live in the Krentel’s<br />
home, attended the service. Another former <strong>Melmark</strong> resident,<br />
Kenny, attended with his mother and brother. The room was also<br />
filled with many familiar faces of employees from the early days of<br />
<strong>Melmark</strong>, which was founded by Paul and Mildred Krentel in 1966.<br />
This strong and diverse gathering is demonstrative of the impact Mrs. Krentel had on families spanning<br />
nearly half a century. While she will be greatly missed, her spirit lives on in all we do at <strong>Melmark</strong>.<br />

throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region for his financial expertise in support<br />
of not-for-profit organizations such as <strong>Melmark</strong>.<br />
Prior to joining <strong>Melmark</strong> as CFO, Joe served 16 years as Vice President and Chief<br />
Financial Officer at Woods Services, a Langhorne, PA- based not-for-profit serving<br />
children and adults with intellectual disabilities, emotional disorders and brain<br />
injury. Joe’s career includes extensive financial management and administrative<br />
experience in a range of human service organizations that serve “at risk” youth and<br />
individuals with special needs.<br />

state of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the American and Pennsylvania Institutes of Certified Public<br />

Flower Show. This year’s participants are Christian, Elaine, Claire and Joe. These four adults nurtured<br />
their plants from seeds in the greenhouse. Their work will be judged alongside internationally recognized<br />
horticulturists. The Flower Show is being held at The Pennsylvania Convention Center March 2nd through 10th.
ADVOCACY<br />
CORNER<br />
Legislators Learn from Seeing You in Action<br />
On <strong>February</strong> 19th, <strong>Melmark</strong> was honored to host Pennsylvania State<br />
Representative, Joe Hackett and his Chief of Staff, Kevin Andrews. Hackett<br />
represents the 161st Legislative District in Delaware County. He is a<br />
member of the Human Services Committee, as well as the Judiciary, Aging<br />
and Older Adult Services, Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness<br />
Committees.<br />
Representative Hackett learned about <strong>Melmark</strong> from Dr. Donovan, saw the<br />
amazing work our staff do when touring programs, and took time to talk<br />
one-on-one with parents from his district whose children are served by<br />
<strong>Melmark</strong>. He received thank you cards from students in Classroom 13<br />
and adults at the Meadows for his work as an elected official. Both<br />
Representative Hackett and Andrews commented on how amazing our staff<br />
were in working with the individuals. Andrews said, “It is amazing, I take<br />
my hat off to them.”<br />
As I mentioned at the All Staff meeting, the importance of educating our<br />
elected and appointed officials is critical. This is one of the main reasons we<br />
invite them for tours, to see the work happening every day. It often makes<br />
sense to the legislators when they see real life examples of services being<br />
provided, and allows a more detailed discussion when issues come up that<br />
could impact those services.<br />

Representative Hackett<br />
I thank each and every one of you for working so diligently each day. We<br />
do not set up tours or contrive situations, we just let legislators observe<br />
the amazing work you do, and they are clearly impressed. So the next time<br />
you see me touring lawmakers, stop to say hello and keep up the great<br />
work. What you are doing is making a difference, not only in the life of the<br />
individual you are working with, but also helping to influence policy at the<br />
local, state, and even national level.<br />

March is National Nutrition Month<br />
Beginning or maintaining a healthy lifestyle contributes to your overall health and well being. Practicing good nutrition and<br />
engaging in a healthy lifestyle means making plans, and choices. It means choosing to integrate healthy eating habits along<br />
with physical activity into your schedule. Here are a few tips to getting started towards achieving a healthier you.<br />
Start with a plan for lifelong health. Focus on the big picture-achieving overall good health, not just short-term weight loss.<br />
Set healthy and realistic goals. You are more likely to succeed in reaching realistic goals when you make changes step-by-step.<br />
Start with one or two specific, small changes at a time. Track your progress by keeping a food and activity log.<br />
Balance your plate with a variety of foods. According to the Academy of Nutritionists and Dieticians, half of your plate should<br />
be filled with fruits and vegetables, about one fourth with lean meat, poultry or fish, and one fourth with grains. To round<br />
out your meal, add fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt or cheese. The Food pyramid is a good way to learn about comprising the<br />
majority of your diet to support optimal health, energy and weight.<br />
Know when you’ve had enough to eat. Quit before you feel full or stuffed. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to get the<br />
message that your body is getting food. When your brain gets this message, you stop feeling hungry. So, for fast eaters, slow<br />
down and give your brain a chance to get the word.<br />
Snack smart. Include snacks as part of your daily calorie allowance and limit portions to one serving. Plan for nutritious<br />
snacks to prevent between-meal hunger. Keep portable, healthy snacks in your desk, backpack, or car.<br />
Find your balance between food and physical activity. Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and<br />
fitness. It helps control body weight, promotes a feeling of well-being and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Pick activities<br />
you like and do each for at least 10 minutes at a time. Aim for a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes or more each week of<br />
moderate activity such as brisk walking. If you are currently inactive, check with your doctor concerning increased physical<br />
activity.<br />
Is it right for you Everyone’s lifestyle plan is different. When incorporating foods from all five food groups into your plan,<br />
make sure they also fit into your budget and lifestyle, and more importantly that you will enjoy eating them.<br />
What are the Bar Codes on<br />
the Menu in the Eatery<br />
They reveal the nutritional<br />
information on the foods served for lunch.<br />
The bar codes are linked with a free app<br />
for Android and iPhones, that you can use<br />
to track your daily food intake.<br />

nutritional information of your daily diet.<br />

Pain in your Back<br />
An estimated 75 – 85% of Americans will experience some type of back pain during their lifetime.<br />
Symptoms of lower back pain can vary based on origin and cause. Pain may be dull or sharp, in one<br />
area or radiating. Muscle spasms and leg pain including numbness and tingling may also occur. Lower<br />
back pain can result from overuse, strain, injury, aging, herniated disk, compression fracture, illness, and<br />
congenital defects.<br />
Chronic back pain is often associated with reduced muscle<br />
and nerve function in the lower abdominals. Improper body<br />
mechanics and non-traumatic causes are often preventable!<br />
Using correct posture, lifting mechanics and strengthening the<br />
lower abdominal muscles will aid in preventing and treating<br />
lower back pain.<br />
Take a look at the core musculature:<br />
When exercising, it is important to concentrate on the<br />
Transversus Abdominis, a deep muscle of the abdominal<br />
region that acts like a corset for the trunk. A strong transverse<br />
abdominal muscle will help to stabilize the spine protecting it from injury.<br />
Exercises for the TrA (Transversus Abdominis):<br />
Muscles of the Core<br />
1. Planks 1. Place your elbows on the floor underneath your shoulders. Toes on the floor with legs hip width<br />
apart.<br />
2. With a straight back, lift your body off the floor and pull your belly button into your spine.<br />
3. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds.<br />
4. Rest for 30 seconds and repeat 3-4 times.<br />
1. Bridges 1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, approximately hip distance<br />
apart.<br />
2. Press your feet into the mat and squeeze your butt as you lift your hips up off the mat.<br />
3. Hold the Bridge position for 5-10 seconds.<br />
4. Maintain Neutral Spine as you come back down to the mat.<br />
5. Repeat 10 times.<br />
1. Stability Ball<br />
knee tuck<br />
**Advanced**<br />
1. Begin in an all-fours position with your torso on the ball and hands and feet on the floor.<br />
2. Walk your hands forward until your feet come off the floor, and the fronts of your thighs or knees are<br />
on the top of the ball in a straight arm plank position.<br />
3. Pull your belly button to your spine; make sure that your stomach does not sag.<br />
4. Slowly bend your knees towards your chest. The ball will roll forward as your knees tuck under your<br />
torso and your hips lift toward the ceiling.<br />
5. Straighten your legs and body, rolling the ball back till you are in a straight arm plank position.<br />
6. Repeat 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets.<br />
General Prevention of lower back pain and injury:<br />
Written by Desiree Gaunt,<br />
Coordinator of Physical Health<br />
• Maintain proper posture when sitting, standing, lifting and lying.<br />
• Lift weighted objects using your lower body to power through extension and<br />
support the weight.<br />
• Strengthen your core muscles by concentrating not on your ‘show me<br />
muscles’, but the TrA<br />
• As always, exercise regularly including cardio, resistance<br />
and flexibility components!
Holiday Egg Safety Tips<br />
If you are planning to decorate Easter eggs this year or if you are<br />
preparing hard-boiled eggs for your Passover seder, please see the<br />
tips below to keep you and your family healthy.<br />
1. Use one set of eggs for decorating and hunting and another set for<br />
eating. To be really safe, use plastic eggs for your Easter egg hunt<br />
instead of real ones.<br />
2. Keep everything clean. Wash utensils, countertops and other surfaces that come in contact<br />
with the eggs. This includes washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water.<br />
3. Coloring Easter eggs can be fun, but if you’re planning to eat the eggs you dye, please make<br />
sure to use only food-grade dyes.<br />
4. Keep hard-boiled eggs intended for eating in the refrigerator until the last possible minute.<br />
Eggs should be stored at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.<br />
5. Under no circumstances let anyone eat eggs that have been unrefrigerated (whether at room<br />
temperature or outside) for more than two hours. This includes hard-boiled eggs used as part<br />
of the Passover seder.<br />
6. When preparing hard-boiled eggs for an egg hunt, be on the lookout for cracks in the shells.<br />
Even tiny cracks can allow bacteria to contaminate the egg. Eggs that have any cracks should<br />
be discarded.<br />
7. Keep track of time to ensure that the hiding<br />
and hunting don’t exceed a cumulative two<br />
hours. And remember, the eggs that are found<br />
must be refrigerated right away or discarded<br />
if the two hour limit is exceeded.<br />

National Eye Health Month: Eye Safety Tip<br />
Protect your eyesight with these tips for eye-healthy nutrition, lifestyle,<br />
and preventive care.<br />
1. Get the Best Nutrients for Good Vision<br />
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Regularly eating these foods can help lead to good eye health:<br />
• Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards<br />
• Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish<br />
• Eggs, nuts, beans and other non-meat protein sources<br />
• Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices<br />
2. Kick the Habit for Better Eyesight<br />
If you smoke, here’s another good reason to quit tobacco. Smoking has been linked to an increased risk of cataracts,<br />
optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration. If you’ve tried to quit smoking before and relapsed, give it another shot.<br />
3. Wear Sunglasses for Good Vision<br />
Too much UV exposure increases your risk for cataracts and macular degeneration. When choosing sunglasses, be safe<br />
as well as stylish. Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. Polarized lenses work well to<br />
help reduce glare when driving.<br />
4. Use Safety Eyewear at Home, at Work, and While Playing Sports<br />
If you work with hazardous or airborne materials at work or home, wearing safety glasses or protective goggles can<br />
protect your eyes from injury, vision loss, and blindness. Certain sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse<br />
also carry the risk for eye injury. Wearing eye protection such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles<br />
with polycarbonate lenses can shield your eyes from a flying puck or swinging lacrosse stick.<br />
5. Look Away From the Computer for Good Eye Health<br />
Staring at a computer can strain your vision. Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition that occurs from<br />
frequent computer use. Studies suggest that nearly 90% of people that use a computer at least three hours a day suffer<br />
from some type of visual problem or complaint. It can cause:<br />
• Eyestrain<br />
• Blurry vision<br />
• Difficulty focusing at a distance<br />
• Dry eyes<br />
• Headaches<br />
• Neck, back, and shoulder pain<br />
6. Protect your eye health by taking the following steps:<br />
• Make sure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up to date and adequate for computer use.<br />
• Position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down<br />
at the screen.<br />
• Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed.<br />
• Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.<br />
• Remember to blink often, which can help prevent dry eyes.<br />
7. Visit Your Eye Doctor Regularly<br />
Everyone, even young children, should have their eyes examined regularly. This is particularly important for good eye<br />
health as well as overall health. Regular, comprehensive eye exams can help you protect your sight and make sure that<br />
you are seeing your best.<br />
