To mark the start of the spring season, the fourth annual Shamrock Shuffle is being held on Saturday, March 18, 2017, two days before the vernal equinox. The days are getting longer, the flowers will be poking their heads out of the ground soon and there’s no time like the present to get up, get out and get moving with Speare Memorial Hospital’s family-friendly, 5K health walk/fun run.
Entertaining the crowd again during registration will be Irish step dancers from Féileacán Irish Dance Academy. They were a big hit at the event last year and really stepped the day off full of Irish cheer and good luck.
Put on your green and join us at the starting line at the Plymouth Regional High School on Saturday, March 18, 2017. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and the starting gun will go off at 9:00 a.m. The race will wind its way through the streets of Plymouth, NH.
The event is not officially timed, as our focus is to encourage community members to take steps toward a more active lifestyle. Be sure to cheer on the participants as they pass by your home or business.
The registration fee is $10 per person. Children age 5 and under are free, but must be registered. Proceeds from the event will support Speare’s community outreach and health education programs. The first 150 registered walkers and runners are guaranteed their requested shirt size and the first 300 finishers will receive a Speare Shamrock Shuffle medal. The event will take place no matter rain, sleet, snow or shine.
**Please Note** If you register in advance, you can check in and pick up your packets from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. in the Speare front lobby, on Friday, March 17th.
Thank you to our generous Pot O’ Gold sponsor Medical Reimbursement Specialist of Bristol, NH for helping make this event possible.
Whether you are participating or cheering from the sidelines, it’s sure to be a fun morning full of Irish cheer in downtown Plymouth.

POLST-trained facilitators are often physicians, APRNs, social workers or nurses responsible for developing plans of care for residents of long-term care facilities, home health, or hospice. Without an emphasis on the importance of ACP discussions and qualified facilitators, completion of the POLST form runs the risk of repeating the failures of past standard AD efforts that have focused only on form completion.
POLST was implemented statewide in New Hampshire in 2013 and we are offering training to health providers who want to be certified as POLST facilitators for colleagues and staff in their organization and community.
The course focuses on communication skills— initiating POLST conversations, assisting in making informed end-of-life decisions, and learning techniques to create POLST plans. The successful implementation of a POLST program must be complemented by professionals who have developed the necessary communication skills to initiate advance care planning discussions that help individuals establish medical and non-medical goals of care.
