SCAD – Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Posted on by

Two local Moore County women share their stories of their personal experience with SCAD.

Julia Brokmeyer, a past guest on our show, and well known in our community as the founder of Moore Choices, and Katie Wylie, a nurse practitioner for Pinehurst Medical Clinic’s Gastroenterology Dept. both suffered heart attacks within one year of each other. Both ladies are young mothers without a history of heart disease, high cholesterol or excessive plaque, yet they both endured a type of heart attack referred to as SCAD. It is not a well know type of heart attack and their insights are valuable to all.

SCAD is…
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. In a nutshell, during SCAD, a sudden tear occurs within the layers of one or more arteries to the heart. This tear blocks blood flow and causes a heart attack. Unfortunately, SCAD may also lead to cardiac arrest and sometimes death. SCAD is the #1 cause of a heart attack in women under age 50 as well as the #1 cause of a heart attack in women who are pregnant and new mothers.

Their personal story lends a great hand to better understanding this type of health risk, and their new friendship and shared experiences will create a long time bond between these two fine ladies.

Callie McIntyre Host

THE ARTS IN MOORE COUNTY SCHOOLS, with CALLI MCINTYRE

Posted on by

“It was a pleasure to have Calli McIntyre host this week’s show. Calli was a past guest in Sept. 2017. I offered her the chance to host her own show because I knew she would excel. I don’t think this charismatic young lady, who is a junior at Pinecrest, ever met a challenge she didn’t wrap her arms around. She organized the show, the synopsis, the guests and the content without any help from me. She achieves everyday. I’m very proud to present Calli’s show.” – Bill Sahadi This week’s segment of All Things Moore County includes a conversation about the arts in Moore County schools. Featured guests, Pinecrest theatre educator, Adam Faw, and Pinecrest senior and stage manager, Megan Bankos, are interviewed by Calli Brielle McIntyre, who is Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen 2018 and Bill Sahadi‘s protégé. As you will see and hear, Moore County schools are filled with talented artists from all corners of the county. In fact, across the state, Union Pines, Pinecrest, and North Moore are referred to as the “Holy Trinity” of theatre departments. Adam and Megan give a preview about upcoming shows and also important information on how people can give much needed donations to these amazing programs. https://pinecrestplayers.weebly.com/

PENICK VILLAGE – Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Posted on by

CEO Jeff Hutchens, COO Carolyn Hendricks & CDO Hunter Wortham talk all about Penick Village, located behind the Weymouth House in Southern Pines.  www.penickvillage.org, https://www.facebook.com/PenickVillage/

From the founding of Penick Village to the challenges and rewards of today, these three committed individuals, with a combined 55 years of experience, cover the premise and philosophy of this iconic Independent & Assisted living Family based center.

From their website:

Penick Village has a distinct, multi-dimensional approach to keeping our residents healthy and happy. Our vision is based on an uncompromising commitment to deinstitutionalizing the aging experience. What does this mean? In its simplest terms, we strive daily to provide a welcoming home to our residents and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Mission Statement: “We are a family creating a loving community by making each day great for one another.”

 

 

As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, this mission along with our vision of deinstitutionalization, is of great importance to the organization and influences each and every decision made. Both our vision and mission include our residents, their families, and our co-workers while also encompassing all elders in our community.

We’ve recently adapted the philosophy of “Making Today Great,” a mission to encourage our residents and staff everyday to enhance the health and wellbeing of every member of the Penick family through stewardship and service.  Around campus you will see employees wearing green buttons as a daily reminder of our heartfelt pledge to our community.

THE ROAD TO PINEHURST – NEW BEGINNINGS

Posted on by

Tom & Felicita Stone started their journey to Pinehurst almost 3 years ago.

As a retired police officer in the Miami area and an avid golfer, Tom scratched an itch and came to Pinehurst to see

what all the fanfare was about in 2014. Felicita works remotely in the telecommunications industry and travels abroad extensively.

With their two children grown and out on their own the timing seemed right.

This loving couple talk about their sojourn; the bumps in the road and their experiences in finding their final landing area for a 2nd home in Pinehurst. Their observations about Pinehurst are valuable reminders to many of us who live here and call this area home.

Real Estate broker, Christian McCarthy, who assisted the Stone’s on their journey, and who lent her heart and soul to their effort, joins us to share her impressions about the Stone’s and to lend her unique take and perspective.

 

CALLI BRIELLE McINTYRE

CALLI BRIELLE McINTYRE – MISS MOORE COUNTY’S OUTSTANDING TEEN

Posted on by

Calli Brielle McIntyre is a high school honor student at Pinecrest High School and the reigning Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen in the Miss North Carolina Scholarship program.

She is an accomplished dancer, actress, singer and community activist. Calli leads with her heart and her ‘old soul’.

Her Platform for this coming year is Food Allergies. She has written a book, The Anteater that Couldn’t Eat Ants, to drive her point home. Her own peanut allergy, discovered early on, gave her the impetus to write this book as an 8th grader!

Currently she is working with State Representative Jamie Boles to help pass House Bill 520 to require restaurants to more properly prepare for occurrences of food allergies in their established place of business.

Her resume of theatrical accomplishments, spanning 11 years, and her leadership role as Founder/Director of Crowning Purpose, Inc. www.crowningpurpose.org speaks to her passion, her grit and her heart.

As you’ll hear, Calli is fearless, confident, gracious, articulate, loving, disciplined and focused. In 9 years of hosting All Things Moore County, I am hard pressed to recall anyone of her age more impressive or endearing.
