Did You Know We Are A Green Facility?

 
All exterior walls and roof systems were sealed and insulated with a new technology that offers complete coverage, free of voids, and meets or exceeds Energy Star certifications. This application was also applied to the underside of the entire roof surface, as well as concrete walls in the basement area, to ensure the most efficient, controlled environment possible.

All Windows and door glazing’s are argon gas filled with low E glass having a U-factor of 0.27 and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25, all of which meets Energy Star certifications.

Our owner, Michael J. O’Connell, MD, has committed to the installation of LED lighting throughout the buildings interior, which will substantially reduce consumption of electrical power.

The solar system that was installed includes an array of 90 PV solar panels that provide a substantial portion of the buildings consumption of electrical power. This PV solar system will also feed power back to the local utility grid during the building’s idle hours. We have also installed an array of five hot water solar panels that will substantially supplement the building’s use of domestic hot water.

The HVAC system was designed to provide the most efficient and sustainable controlled environment possible. We have purchased and implemented the use of high efficiency natural gas fired boilers, air handlers, and cooling equipment. Additionally, the building was situated on the lot so as to gain the most exposure
to the sun and for maxium efficiency usage of the solar systems that were installed.

SFFH is Presenting Sponsor of SMA 5K Run/Walk

SalmonFalls Family Healthcare of Somersworth is thrilled to be the Presenting Sponsor of the 1^st Annual St. Mary Academy 5K Run/Walk in Dover, to be held on Saturday, April 13^th at 9:00 am.

As St.MaryAcademy’s mission states, it is “a Catholic faith community dedicated to the education and growth of children in an atmosphere of peace, justice and love.” The academy is celebrating its centennial with events like the 5K run/walk, the Alumni Gala and Auction, which offers one year of free tuition to one lucky winner, and more.

SalmonFalls Family Healthcare strives to promote a healthy lifestyle for its patients and the community. The health care providers educate families about preventive care, smart food choices and exercise habits, so sponsoring an event like this that encourages physical activity was a natural fit. Claire Menard, a pediatric nurse practitioner at Salmon Falls, takes it one step further by promoting 5210 Healthy NH, a program that fights childhood obesity, with her patients and with the schools in surrounding communities. “I am thrilled that SFFH is sponsoring the 5K race/walk for St Mary Academy!  The event encourages community participation in a fun, fitness activity and this corresponds nicely with our 5210, healthy lifestyle campaign.  On a personal note, I am very happy to support  an event at the school my children attended.”

Salmon Falls has just re-located to 7 Works Way in Somersworth, right in front of the WorksFamilyHealth & FitnessCenter.

The SMA 5K Run/Walk will begin and end at St.MaryAcademy, located at 222 Central Ave. in Dover, NH.  The certified race course will lead participants through Historic Dover and the Dover Community Trail. There will be chip timing, and tech t-shirts will be available for the first 125 registrants.  Registration is only $20 or $25 for day-of.  Sign up at https://milleniumreg.com/sma-5k.

Vitimin D: The Facts by Dr. D
