Healthy Hearts Nurtured by Love ❤️

Back in February 2022, we asked Terry Petruska, Chief Clinical Dietitian at Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital-Westborough, for a heart-healthy recipe, and she shared "Healthy Banana Bread" with us. Terry confessed that her husband does most of the cooking, but she likes to bake for him. “For all that he does for me, I make this for him," Terry says. A healthy heart is not only nourished by wholesome food but a good dose of love as well!

Thanks to Pridestar Trinity EMS and Haverhill Fire Department Local 1011 🚑🔥 for a hands-on mock cardiac emergency drill at Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital-Bradford!

This realistic training scenario included a cardiac episode in the rehab pool and a secondary simulated slip-and-fall incident — designed to challenge teamwork, communication, and quick decision-making under pressure.

Two weeks after a tabletop training exercise, this full-scale drill brought everything together. Teams collaborated, executed the plan, and then regrouped to debrief, highlight successes, and identify areas to strengthen.

Training like this ensures that we are all ready to provide the highest level of care when every second counts. 💪
