What Does “Being Active” Really Mean?

Being active doesn’t mean intense workouts or fancy gym equipment.

It simply means moving your body more than you did yesterday:
🚶 Walking around the block
🧹 Cleaning the house
🌱 Working in the yard
🛒 Parking farther away at the store

If your body is moving, it counts.

Challenge a friend or family member to move with you this week—and keep each other accountable!

We are incredibly proud to recognize a Douglas native, Ben Lingenfelter, for the powerful work he is doing to raise awareness for congenital heart defects (CHD) — the most common birth defect in the United States, affecting nearly 1 in every 100 children.

Ben is the founder of the Miracle Child Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to advocating for children and families impacted by congenital heart disease. On February 11, he will take his message to the Georgia State Capitol, where he has been invited to speak for CHD Awareness Day, helping educate lawmakers and the public about the importance of early detection, access to care, and continued research.

As your local healthcare provider, Coffee Regional Medical Center is proud to stand beside community leaders like Ben, whose passion, courage, and commitment are making a difference far beyond our city limits. His journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when compassion meets purpose.

We encourage our community to follow, support, and uplift his mission as he continues to be a voice for children with heart conditions and the families who love them.

Together, we can help strengthen hearts — right here at home. ❤️
