Interesting
conference. Supervisors will coordinate

schedules and conference events. Check
with your supervisor during the first week in
October for your schedule.
New Customer Service Branch
At long last—we opened our new customer service branch in Myrtle Beach. This branch office
will serve the middle portion of the East Coast. Joey Jameson, our long-time customer service
assistant manager in Akron, is the new director of the Myrtle Beach location. We welcome all
our new associates in Myrtle Beach!

Just a Reminder . . .
 The new card key system for the main office in Salt Lake
Get Your New Key
City will be activated on July 1. Stop by Jenna Gellar’s
Cards!
office to pick up your new card. If you don’t have your new
card by the 1st, you won’t be able to get into the building!

 The Mobile Blood Bank is coming this month! It’s that time againtime to roll up your
sleeves and donate blood. Take your vitamins and eat well for the next too weeks so you can
participate. We want to meet or beat last year’s record of 573 pints donated.

Dental Benefits
After long negotiations with our health care provider, we were able to
reinstate dental benefits as part of the regular plan. Effective July 1,
employees will not have to pay a monthly premium for dental benefits for
themselves. TMG will pay premiums for all full-time employees. Employees
who wish to continue paying premiums for dental benefits
for family members will continue paying monthly
premiums for only their dependents. As a
compromise to paying employees’ dental premiums,
the deductibles for office calls and services will increase
by 10 percent. However, in the long run, employees will be
paying less for dental benefits.

Heart Attacks: What You

 Heart Attacks: What You Should Know

Heart Attacks: What You Should Know

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, about 1.1 million Americans have a heart
attack each year. About 40 percent of heart attacks are fatal. Because heart attacks often happen about
one hour after symptoms first start, people typically can seek medical care.

What is a heart attack?

A heart attack is caused by coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD occurs when the coronary arteries
narrow, which decreases blood supply to the heart. A blood clot usually forms, which terminates blood
flow. When this occurs, a person is having a heart attack. If not treated immediately, permanent muscle
damage can occur, or the person can die.

What are the signs of a heart attack?

Some of the main signs of a heart attack include the following:

 Uncomfortable pressure, pain, squeezing sensation, or discomfort in the center of the chest,
typically lasting more than a few minutes.

 Pain or pressure in the chest, upper abdomen, neck, jaw, or arms.

 Lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, or nausea.

 Heartburn or indigestion.

 Increased or irregular heart rate.

 Shortness of breath.

How can you reduce the risk of a heart attack?

Some factors, such as age and history of heart disease in a family are uncontrollable; however, you can
take steps to reduce the risk of having a heart attack. Some of these steps include the following:

 Stop smoking cigarettes. Cigarette smoking dramatically increases the risk of heart attacks.

 Lower your blood pressure. High blood pressure forces your heart to work harder, which
increases the risk of a heart attack. The optimal blood pressure is 120/80. To prevent or
control high blood pressure, do the following:

o Lose extra weight.

o Become physically active.
o Follow a healthy eating plan, including reducing sodium intake.
o Limit alcohol intake.

 Heart Attacks: What You Should Know

 Reduce high blood cholesterol. High blood cholesterol causes your arteries to become
narrower, thus slowing down or blocking the flow of blood to your heart. To reduce high
blood cholesterol, do the following:

o Eat healthy foods.

o Get plenty of physical activity.
o Lose extra weight.

 Work toward a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases the probability of a heart
attack.

 Lead a physically active life. Physical activity helps lower your blood pressure and helps
control high blood cholesterol. Increasing your physical fitness increases overall health,
which can minimize the risk of a heart attack.

 Manage diabetes. Diabetes damages blood vessels, which leads to heart diseases. Diabetics
must adhere strictly to doctor’s orders to control the diabetes. Some guidelines for diabetics
include the following:

o Eat at regular times each day.

o Take prescriptions as directed and at consistent times each day.
o Check your blood sugar level every day.
