 Bon-Ton
Stores help raise $107,350 for American
Heart Month
MILWAUKEE – The Bon-Ton Stores exceeded its
goal of raising $100,000 for the American
Heart Association during February by $7,350.
As part of the campaign, up to $20,000 of
the goal came through texting and social
media interaction and the rest was generated
through the sales of Community Days coupon
books online and at all the company’s retail
stores.

 The
big freeze
The
term "Arctic Freeze" conjures up uninviting images of
blowing snow and biting cold temperatures. In medicine it gives
patients an easier, safer and more effective way to treat atrial
fibrillation, a common and potentially deadly heart condition.
There are 400,000 new cases diagnosed in the United States every
year.

 The
earliest diagnosis
Damien
Chavez has a special heart. The active 5-year old can light up a
room with his smile and is already charming the girls in his
kindergarten class. But what’s really incredible is how his tiny
heart cleared a giant hurdle.

 Blood

High
cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease,
which will affect half of all men and a third of all women at some
time in their lives.

 What
a feeling
Helen
Kraklow has danced her way to health and the
Miss Milwaukee Jr. crown. |

 Heart
of gold
Kilian
Hintz got a second chance at life when he was just 17
years old. For Harry Schrap, it came at the age of 69.
Each received a transplanted heart after his own was
irreparably damaged by a viral infection. |
Beer with benefits
Surprise!
Savoring a beer might be just what’s needed as part of one’s
health regime. But, the caveat emphasizes, it’s a tactic only in
moderation. |
 The
first 24
One day
last March, Blake returned from his daily six-mile walk
feeling a little sick. "I was going to have dinner, but
I wasn’t really hungry. That should’ve been the tip-off
to me that something was wrong," he says. "I felt like I
had a bad case of heartburn, so I went to lie down. That
didn’t help, and when I stood up, I felt light-headed
and faint."
