The Healthy Church Challenge 100-day weight loss competition was an idea that manifested 100 days later in the form of smiling faces on Sunday, June 17. The challenge put regional churches in a weight loss competition. The team with the largest percentage of weight lost won prizes to purchase exercise equipment for its congregation.
The winners were announced at the 19th Annual Juneteenth Freedom & Heritage Festival in historic Douglass Park by a representative from BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, sponsor of the Healthy Church Challenge.
Barbara Jackson was shocked and ecstatic after she was called to the stage to receive a first-place $500 gift certificate for losing the most weight during the Healthy Church Challenge 100-day weight loss competition.
Jackson, a member of One Way Church of God in Christ, lost 32.2 pounds, followed by second place winner Anita Banks of St. Andrew A.M.E. Church, who lost 29 pounds. Marcus Maxwell Ross, a member of Mt. Sinai M.B. Church, lost a total of 27.6 pounds. (All participants who attended each monthly weigh-in received an additional 2 lb. credit at the final weigh-in on June 9.)
“Winning was a milestone for me. I knew I wasn’t in this Challenge by myself,” said Jackson, still feeling euphoric several days later. “It was competitive, but I was wholeheartedly committed, committed to the endeavor like everybody else in the competition.”
Brenda Thornton said she’s still “pumped” after learning that her church, Fullview M.B. Church in Bartlett, Tenn., won first place, which included a $5,000 gift certificate to the Sports Authority and nutritional counseling from Baptist Memorial Health Care. She also said she was “shocked, excited, overwhelmed and happy for the whole group.”
“Winning is a good motivator,” said Thornton, who stayed the course until the competition ended. “I had told a church member that this was a 100-day run, but it’s going to be a lifetime run for me.”
The second place winner, The Healing Cathedral Christian Church, received a $2,500 gift certificate to the Sports Authority as well, followed by third-place winner St. Andrew A.M.E. Church, which received a $1,500 gift certificate.
Hundreds of Mid-Southerners from 36 churches participated in the weight loss competition and many of them participated in The Obesity Summit as well at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis, which preceded the Healthy Church Challenge announcement of winners.
Internationally renowned fitness expert Donna Richardson Joyner keynoted the Summit along with Rosalind Kurita, policy advisor to the Tennessee Department of Health. More than 275 people interested in losing weight and preventing the onset of obesity listened intently as Joyner and Kurita encouraged participants to eat healthy and exercise. Joyner followed her talk with a five minute light workout with participants as they stood at their table.
The Healthy Church Challenge was sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, along with Baptist Memorial Health Care, News Channel 3, Hallelujah 95.7 FM, Tri-State Defender, and the Juneteenth Freedom and Heritage Festival.

First Expansion Outside of California for the State’s Highest-Performing Large, High-Poverty Public School System
Today, Aspire Public Schools was approved by Tennessee’s Achievement School District (ASD) to open and operate charter schools in Memphis beginning in August 2013, marking the first time California’s largest charter management organization is expanding outside the state. Currently, Aspire is one of the largest charter organizations in the nation and the highest-performing large public school system serving low-income students in California. Aspire presently operates 34 schools in six cities, serving 12,000 students
“We’re humbled by the confidence that the Achievement School District has placed in our organization. We look forward to earning the trust of the community and partnering with families to prepare their students for college success,” said Aspire’s Chief Executive Officer James Willcox. “At Aspire, we understand that there is no greater responsibility or honor than to partner with families to help achieve their dreams for their students. We are committed to making sure that our schools meet the unique needs of Memphis students and their families and look forward to all that we can accomplish together.”
Aspire is expanding in order to serve more students with a high-quality, public education as Memphis is home to 80 percent of the lowest-performing 85 schools in TN. Like Memphis City Schools, Aspire is focused on its own Teacher Effectiveness Initiative and has partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to design and implement innovative teacher effectiveness strategies with the goal of ensuring that each student has access to a highly effective teacher and teachers are supported to reach their full potential as educators.
Recent research from Mathematica Policy Research and the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) at the University of Washington Bothell found that Aspire accelerates student achievement faster than comparable schools and that Aspire is among the top-performing charter organizations in the country. For the last three years, 100 percent of graduating Aspire seniors wereaccepted to four year colleges or universities.
“We are thrilled that Aspire is joining parents, advocates, education organizations and local elected officials that are collectively working to ensure that all of our students have access to a high-quality public education,” said Kenya Bradshaw, Tennessee’s executive director of Stand For Children. “With nationally-recognized, proven school operators coming to Tennessee, our state will become a model for what is possible for all public schools for years to come.”
This year, in what is believed to be the first time in the country for any charter management organization, Aspire will graduate students who have attended its schools for the entirety of their K-12 education. Eight students who enrolled in Aspire’sfirst school, Aspire University Public School (now Aspire Vincent Shalvey Academy), located in Stockton, CA, as Kindergartners in 1998, will graduate from Aspire Benjamin Holt College Preparatory Academy (alsolocatedin Stockton)on June 8, 2012.
“Congratulations to Aspire and the families of Memphis on Aspire’s charter approval,” said Todd Ziebarth, vice president of state advocacy and support for the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. “As the charter movement marks its 20th anniversary this year, it is of special significance that Aspire, the country’s first-ever charter organization and the first to graduate students who attended their schools from Kindergarten to 12th grade, is expanding outside of California for the first time.”
Aspire has been previously recognized by the United States Department of Education and the well-regarded management consulting firm McKinsey & Company for its high-quality schools and unique academic approach. The United States Department of Education recently awarded a $3 million Investing in Innovation (i3) grant to Aspire in order to further develop technology systems to support teachers. This follows Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s announcement of a $6 million grant to Aspire to expand their high-performing network of public charter schools. In 2010, Aspire was named one of the world’s 20 most improved school systems by McKinsey & Company and was just one of three school systems in the United States to earn this recognition.
About Aspire Public Schools
Aspire Public Schools is a nonprofit organization that currently operates 34 high-performing, open-enrollment public charter schools serving 12,000 students in underserved communities across California. Aspire is one of the highest-performing public school systems in California, delivering a rigorous “College for Certain” education to students in grades K-12. An unrelenting focus on college preparedness led to 100 percent of graduating Aspire seniors being accepted to four year colleges or universities in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Aspire offers a high-quality education in six cities throughout California: Los Angeles, Oakland, Stockton, Sacramento, Modesto and East Palo Alto.

New BlueCross Health Institute White Paper reveals reform will increase coverage, but won’t improve access to care, outcomes
Despite reform, minorities in Tennessee will continue to have less access to health care services and poorer health outcomes in general than other Tennesseans, according to the latest study by the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Health InstituteSM.
The study entitled Health Care Reform: the Impact on Minority Populations in Tennessee looks at the barriers to care for minorities that will persist despite the expanded coverage and services that health care reform promotes.
“What we’ve found through this study is that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will most likely have a favorable outcome on access to insurance coverage,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Steven Coulter, president of the institute. “However, it will not necessarily translate to actual access to medical care for several reasons.”
One of the purposes of the PPACA is to reduce or eliminate the disparity in coverage by race that currently exists. However, as the research finds, minority populations in Tennessee tend to be concentrated in geographic areas where health care facilities are already operating at capacity. This increased demand for care will lead to longer wait times at those doctors’ offices accepting new patients. In particular, access to care in the west and east regions will be of greatest concern.
Favorable and unfavorable areas for minority care in Tennessee can be tracked by county, or down to ZIP-code level, through the new Health Care Access Index developed by the Health Institute. To see a short video about the study, click here.
This is the third report issued by the institute, a division of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, designed to provide decision makers a fact-based, intellectual framework for public discussions on health care policy matters. The report is available on the Tennessee Health Institute section of the BlueCross website.
Future research topics and presentations of the Tennessee Health Institute will focus on health care reimbursement variations, risk adjustment, and best-practice answers regarding the health status of Tennesseans.

The hair care industry is a lucrative business with consumers who care about the health of their hair and their hairstyles. In the African-American community more individuals are returning to chemical free options for their hair, such as loose natural styling and hair locking services. A local hairstylist is hosting the 1st Annual Naturals in the City Hair and Wellness Expo in Memphis, TN in July of this year.
Takeisha Berry-Brooks is the owner of A Natural Affair Beauty Lounge and founder of Metamorphosis Natural Hair Care Systems™ and is the host of the expo. The 1st Annual Naturals in the City Hair and Wellness Expo for professionals and consumers who want to learn more about natural hair care techniques, natural hair care products and holistic ways of healthy living are invited to attend this event on Saturday, July 28, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event will be held at Esplanade Memphis, 901 Cordova Station, in Cordova, TN, off of Germantown Parkway and Macon Road.
“I want to make sure that not only men and women are empowered, but educated in the choice that they’re making to go natural,” said Berry-Brooks, a natural hairstylist for 12 years. While most women are transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, some are clueless in versatile styling options and correct products choices for their hair type, she said.
“When I decided to pursue natural hair care, I had a lot of goals for myself,” said Berry-Brooks, whose full-service, natural hair care salon specializes in transitioning women from relaxed hairstyles to more of a natural, chemical-free look. “I knew putting on an expo in Memphis would be different and out of the box.”
According to industry trends, more than 250,000 businesses in the United States are classified as beauty salons. Berry-Brooks says the Expo is an opportunity for business owners in the tri-state area to sell themselves and push their brand.
The Expo will include entertainment, natural hair seminars, wellness seminars and vendors marketing their products and services. Consumers also will be introduced to natural skin care products, henna tattoos and healthy food options.
A crowd of 500 or more people from as far as Nashville, Jackson, Miss., Little Rock, and Jackson, Tenn., are expected to attend, Berry-Brooks said. Special guests, naturalists and wellness entrepreneurs are among those scheduled to appear.

Today, the Saint Francis Hospital Heart & Vascular Center became the first hospital in Tennessee and one of the first in the nation to use a newly approved medical device to open narrowed coronary arteries, even in heart disease patients with diabetes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved this new device –– the Resolute Integrity Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) from Medtronic.
The Resolute Integrity DES is the first and only heart stent to be FDA approved for treating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who also have diabetes. Remarkably, the new device has been shown in a global series of clinical studies to yield consistently strong performance in CAD patients with and without diabetes. Approximately one-third of all patients[i] –– an estimated 300,000 people in the United States alone[ii] –– who receive a stent each year have diabetes.
“The Resolute Integrity Drug-Eluting Stent represents a significant advance in the interventional treatment of coronary artery disease,” said Basil Paulus, MD, Medical Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Saint Francis Hospital. “The device’s indication for CAD patients with diabetes in particular really distinguishes it from the alternatives.”
Caused by a buildup of fatty deposits, or plaque, in coronary arteries, CAD is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death in the United States, killing almost half a million Americans each year.[iii] Research shows that people with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk for CAD and two- to four-fold higher CAD morbidity and mortality rates.[iv]Historically it’s been difficult to treat CAD patients with diabetes because they tend to have smaller coronary arteries and persistently elevated blood-sugar levels, which can increase the rate of procedural complications and long-term safety risks.
A stent is a tiny mesh cylinder designed to prop open a narrowed artery. A drug-eluting stent is coated with medication that is designed to prevent the artery from narrowing again; the drug elutes from the stent and into the arterial wall.
More information about the Resolute Integrity DES is available online at www.medtronicstents.com.
Saint Francis Hospital-Memphis is a 519-bed full service hospital located at 5959 Park Avenue in Memphis, Tenn. The hospital has been recognized for excellence of care by United Healthcare, CIGNA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and Aetna. In 2011, the American Heart Association presented the Gold Performance Achievement Award to Saint Francis for Heart Failure and Cardiovascular Disease in their “Get With The Guidelines” program. Offering a wide array of medical services, Saint Francis is noted for its many Centers of Excellence, including its Center for Surgical Weight Loss, Sleep Center, Chest Pain Emergency Center, Heart & Vascular Center, Surgical Services, Diabetes Center, and Women’s Center.
Saint Francis Hospital serves as an academic training site for University of Tennessee Surgical, Family Practice, and Psychiatric Residents. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the nation’s oldest and largest hospital accreditation agency.

The first and only general aviation terminal in the world to achieve a LEED® Platinum certification was designed by the Chattanooga team of Allen & Hoshall. Today at an event hosted by The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority, it was announced that the Fixed Based Operation (FBO) General Aviation Terminal managed by Wilson Air Center received the coveted certification. This prestigious award was given by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
LEED, an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the USGBC’s leading rating system for designing and constructing the world’s greenest, most energy efficient, and high performing buildings.
The CMAA FBO General Aviation Terminal is a fine example of Allen & Hoshall’s commitment to quality architecture and engineering. “Our team at Allen & Hoshall is delighted that our work has garnered national attention and a LEED Platinum certification for the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority’s general aviation terminal,” said Rick Boeving, AIA, Vice President. Boeving is architect of record for this project.
The team of Allen & Hoshall also designed and managed the construction project for the CMAA’s Aircraft Hangar Building, which achieved LEED GOLD certification.
Glen Heath, Vice President, Allen & Hoshall, served as the project manager. “The 9,000 sq. ft. aviation terminal is a project that we take pride in. This was a team effort, and I commend the team at Allen & Hoshall for their high-quality performance, contribution to the project, and the LEED Platinum certification,” said Heath.
Other members of the Allen & Hoshall staff and team who worked on General Aviation Terminal and Hangar include: Norman Sneed, Kyle Adams, Michel Lebel, Stevie O’Neal, Adam Coats, James Simpson, Jeremy Scallion, Jason Needham, Rob Herd, Watson Consulting Engineers, Kersey Wike and Artech Interior Furnishings in Chattanooga.
The CMAA FBO General Aviation Terminal was designed to achieve LEED certification for energy use, lighting, water and material use as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies. LEED verifies environmental performances, occupant health and financial return. It was established for market leaders to design and construct buildings that protect and save precious resources while also making good economic sense.
“The strength of USGBC has always been the collective strength of our leaders in the building industry,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council. “Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection and the central role of the building industry in that effort, the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority demonstrates their leadership through their LEED certification of its FBO General Aviation Terminal.”
For over a decade, Allen & Hoshall has designed and overseen construction projects for the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. John Naylor is the Vice President of Planning and Development with CMMA and is very pleased with Allen & Hoshall’s quality of work. “The Allen & Hoshall team led by Glen Heath, PE, and Rick Boeving, AIA, has exceeded our expectations for this project, bringing the buildings which were not only beautiful but within a very tight budget and time constraints,” said Naylor. “Their professionalism, technical expertise and client service is exceptional.”
