The Glens Falls Hospital has launched a new health campaign just in time for swimsuit season!
The Health Promotion Center of Glens Falls Hospital started 'Good Move' this week -- a campaign focused on encouraging the community to take proactive steps toward good health by making one 'Good Move' at a time.
The goal of the program is to help individuals and families make healthier eating choices, increase activity and use preventative care. Beginning this week, posters, billboards and messaging will be placed throughout the Glens Falls community carrying various healthy ideas for everyday life.
Some of the healthy suggestions are:
- walking your kids to school
- snacking on a piece of fruit
- exploring a nearby park
- visiting a local farmer's market for fresh produce
- and talking to your doctor about healthy choices that are right for you and your family.

The All-American Soap Box Derby will continue as a local tradition as the racing event enters its second decade and welcomes a new director, Lisa Wells. The event was in danger of being cancelled if new leadership couldn't be found, so Wells comes as a breath of fresh air to many local kids, parents and event supporters in the community.
In addition to leading a Girl Scout Troop, Wells was motivated to volunteer as race director by her 11 year old daughter, Bethany, who won the stock division in Glens Falls in 2012. Bethany went on to compete at the national All-American Soap Box Derby championships in Akron, Ohio with racers from all over the country. In Akron, Wells and her other two children, Ann-Marie and James, volunteered on the national race support staff while her husband, John, focused on racing.
