Copley at Stoughton’s dietitian Deb Moriarty gives some advice to keep your heart pumping healthy and strong year-round.

First of all, it is important to be aware of all the key risks of cardiovascular disease. Remember that knowledge is power. The key risks include but are not limited to: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, being overweight, poor dietary habits, not being physically active, consuming excessive amount of alcohol and sugar and family history.

Below are some simple “heart conscious” changes you can make to your diet starting today:

Copley at Stoughton is a private nursing home in Stoughton, one of the last in the state, according to Steven Tyer, its administrator. The 123-bed facility provides long- and short-term care and rehabilitation services, and has been in existence since 1994. Its majority owner is the Goddard Foundation, which was created with the assets of the former Goddard Memorial Hospital in Stoughton. We spoke with Tyer for this story.

Q. What makes Copley at Stoughton so unique?

A. It’s a standalone, one of the last locally owned and managed in the state. Most places are owned by giant corporations, but selling has never been an issue here. Goddard is solvent, and very committed to this. I came from a corporation, Wingate Healthcare, and was COO for years. Working here is harder than any job I’ve ever had; we’re doing it all on our own, and we’re very successful at it.
