It’s About You

During one of my workouts, I mentioned to my training partner that the pace of entries for this year’s New Albany Walking Clas-sic was astounding.

I indicated that registrations were running (walking?) ahead of last year’s pace by over 100 percent, and that if he had friends he

wanted to see participate, he should make them aware of an impending sellout.After our workout, as we went through our cooldown routine, he turned to me

and said, “Phil, are you insane. You know that people always wait until the last minute to register for races, and rule of thumb dictates that the longer you wait

to register, the higher the entry fee. Don’t you realize that you are losing lots of money by selling out so early?”

I feel that often, people do not understand the philosophy and mission behind what has now become the largest walk of its kind in the country. The New Albany Walking Classic does not have a goal: Let’s make money. Rath-er, we want to provide a venue within which people can walk for health and/or competi-tion. And we want to accomplish our mission by charging the lowest entry fee necessary to

conduct the Walking Classic and, at the same time, providing our participants with the best perks of any run or walk in the country.

We are able to accomplish our mission for two reasons. One, the Walking Classic is a grassroots effort organized and conducted by volunteers. We have no offices, corporate phones or paid race leadership. Second, we have very generous and caring partners led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, our Presenting Sponsor. Our sponsors are extremely integral to our success.

On Sept. 8, walk on – and be sure to thank our volunteers and sponsors. Their goal is to make the Walk all about you.

Healthfully,Phil HeitEvent DirectorNew Albany Walking Classic

Race SponsorsWithout great sponsors, the New Albany Walking Classic would just be considered “another race.” But the Classic is not just a race – it is an event. It is ongoing. It provides participants with the best value of any similar event held anywhere in the country. And most importantly, the Classic provides a venue for ongoing training through the New Albany Walking Club, with the mission of promoting health through walking, whether for competition or for recreation.

When people picture New Albany, many picture its architec-ture, attention to de-tail and white fences.

While these features are visually evident, New Albany’s best trait as a community is the friendly nature of residents who freely share their talents.

This combination of engagement, warmth, beauty and connectivity recently stood out to earn New Albany recognition as the No. 1 central Ohio suburb.

On any given day, this close-knit com-munity may celebrate an

event, gather at the local farmers’ market in Market Square, plant something in the community garden, cheer on one of the school district’s sports teams, witness a world-renowned performing artist or even attend the New Albany Community

a former U.S. president.Life in New Albany is anchored by the

Village Center, our social, educational and cultural core. This pedestrian-friendly area is home to restaurants, coffee shops, government offices, the library, the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts and, soon, the New Albany Cen-ter for Community Health. Ground will be broken for this facility later this year, with completion of the project expected in 2014.

At the Center will be a blend of person-alized medicine, health-related fitness and community activities that will help make New Albany a national model for healthy communities. Partners in the project in-clude The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Healthy New Albany, a local

organization that has or-

ganically connected thousands of people through its initiatives.

homes in our Village Center to grand es-tates offering pristine views, New Albany combines the style and sophistication of modern life amenities with the charm of the country. You can see it in our neigh-borhoods, our roads and our landscape, which includes 1,500 acres of public and private green space and more than 77 miles of leisure trails and sidewalks.

The New Albany-Plain Local School District’s 200-acre learning campus is unique in that all school activities and grade levels are synergized into one loca-tion. District leaders benchmark with the nation’s highest-performing schools, and New Albany High School consistently ranks among the best public schools in the United States.

More than 97 percent of students ad-vance to college, but district leaders under-stand that academics is just one facet of pre-paring students for post-scholastic success. This is why other educational focuses in-clude developing ethical, self-directed and intellectually curious citizens of the world.

The New Albany Business Park was lit-erally an idea in a cornfield just 15 short years ago, but it has blossomed into a 3,000-acre business park with three highway interchanges, dual-feed electric power and a state-of-the-art municipal broadband net-work that can save users as much as 30 percent off their fiber-optic needs. Our shovel-ready, technology-ready campus and our ability to expedite the planning

process by engaging all of the proj-ect partners continue to earn praise from site selectors, developers, con-tractors, facilities managers and op-erations teams.

Because we move at the speed of business, our park now represents more than $1.3 billion in commit-ted private investment and more than 12,000 jobs – not a small accomplishment for a communi-ty with 8,000 residents. Business partners include Abercrombie &

Services, Tween Brands, The Lim-ited, AEP, Accel and Bob Evans.

No matter the department, New Albany’s city staff is com-mitted to a high level of customer service. Our police officers rou-tinely conduct vacation checks for residents and coordinate a vast array of community outreach. Our Public Service crews also adhere to green efforts and sustainability, with more than 75 percent of the fleet us-ing bio-diesel fuel.

Summer and autumn are great seasons to visit New Albany, with major events such as the Taste of New Albany, Peloto-

-ing Classic, New Albany Classic & Grand Prix taking place in August and Septem-ber. If events aren’t your style, you could simply take a walk or bike ride on our lei-sure trails, many of which wind through our picturesque neighborhoods.

Just be prepared to fall in love and want to stay.

No one knows women’s hearts like Ohio State.

“We have made great strides in the last 10 years but too

many women are still dying of heart disease,” says

Martha Gulati, MD, MS, FACC, FAHA, director for Women’s

Cardiovascular Health and Preventive Cardiology and

Women’s Cardiovascular Health and an associate

professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Sarah Ross

Soter Chair in Women’s Cardiovascular Health at The

Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “It is still the

number one killer of women, but it is preventable.

“Awareness is the key to women preventing heart disease

in themselves.” Dr. Gulati notes. “In terms of prevalence

today, approximately 42.7 million American women have

cardiovascular disease.

An overwhelming number of women still worry more

about breast cancer than cardiovascular disease when

in fact at age 40, your lifetime risk of developing breast

cancer is one in eight while cardiovascular disease is

one in two.”

As daunting as these statistics seem, there is hope.

Although there are factors such as age, gender, race or

genetics you can’t change, women can lower their risk of

heart disease dramatically just by leading a healthy

lifestyle. Dr. Gulati is passionate about educating women

about what they can change; smoking cessation,

maintaining a healthy weight, lifestyle changes and

heart healthy diets.

Ohio State’s Women’s Heart Center develops

personalized, preventive heart care plans for

every patient. We’re not just treating heart

disease in women, but preventing heart

disease in women. Make an appointment

A forthcoming major addition to New Albany’s offerings will re-flect the community’s steadfast focus on health and wellness.

The New Albany Center for Community Wellness is set to break ground this summer and is scheduled to open up shop in 2014 in the city’s Village Center, across the street from Village Hall. The one-of-a-kind project – com-bining fitness, community activities and person-

Health Care CentralNew Albany’s ambitious wellness center is unlike any other

alized medicine into one 54,000-square-foot building – is a joint effort of the city of New Albany, Healthy New Albany and The Ohio State University Wexner Med-ical Center.

“Everything that happens in the com-munity from the perspective of health will emanate from the … wellness center,” says Healthy New Albany founder Phil Heit.

The city owns the building, with OSU leasing more than 70 percent of the space. About 7,000 square feet of first-floor com-munity space will be overseen by Healthy New Albany.

Clinical applications – most of them OSU’s, with some being administered by Nationwide Children’s Hospital – will take up the second floor.

OSU’s brand of personalized health care, which will play a major role in its offerings at the center, is called P4 Med-icine: Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory. It boils down to custom-ized health assessments for every patient using all of the many resources available to OSU, placing a heavy emphasis on pre-vention as opposed to rehabilitation and on connecting a patient’s health and well-

ness goals to the fitness options available to him or her.

“Currently, there is no process like the P4 Medicine assessment, consultation and progress measurement,” says Larry Lewel-len, vice president of care coordination and health promotion at Wexner Med-ical Center. “More importantly, there is no single place which integrates all of the services based on personalized goals and assessment results.”

Offerings may range from orthopedic surgery recovery to cancer prevention, and will also include expert consulta-tions, a medical fitness center for physical conditioning, educational programming, technology to engage via social network-ing and smartphone apps, primary care, sports medicine, executive health, and integrative medicine. There will also be a research component to better determine patients’ individual needs and ways to de-liver the necessary services, and to provide the community with the best new health assessments and program.

Nationwide Children’s will provide pediatric orthopedics, sports physical therapy, therapeutic massage, radiology and laboratory services, and health edu-cation programs.

On the first floor will be an OSU fitness center managed by Integrated Wellness

“The great thing about the center is it’s going to serve our entire community – it’s going to serve our residents, it’s going to serve the businesses in our business park.”Scott McAfee, New Albany Public Information Officer

Partners, which will include a small reha-bilitation pool. Discussions are ongoing to determine other uses of the community space, which could include a demonstra-tion kitchen, a multipurpose activity room and health-related retail. Indoor and out-door activities will be connected via stra-tegically designed pedestrian walkways.

“The great thing about the center is it’s going to serve our entire community – it’s going to serve our residents, it’s going to serve the businesses in our business park,” says New Albany Public Information Offi-cer Scott McAfee. “It’s really going to be a destination place for anyone who lives or works in our community.”

The project is a $12.5 million invest-ment, and though the building is owned by the city, its partnerships with OSU and Healthy New Albany will keep the proj-ect from being a burden on taxpayers. The city will sell bonds to build it, but the leas-es will pay them off, and building person-nel will not be a cost issue either.

“We’re not hiring staff to manage this facility,” McAfee says. “The activities in-side it are going to be managed by Healthy New Albany.”

Though it will be months yet before the center is ready to open, it’s already having an effect on the area. A 30,000-square-foot building filled with a mix of retail, office and medical space is slated to go in near-by, with Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers already announced as one of the tenants.
