Making a difference in the world is the heartfelt passion of many. However, we all make a difference, not just out in the world, but in our own lives with every thought, word, and move we make for good or ill. Every moment we have the choice to live in love or fear, to share or keep to ourselves, to eat well or poorly, to exercise or not.
Angela Stoltzenburg of Lincoln is making a difference through her passion for community health. As director of Community Health Collaborative (CHC) for the ALMH (Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital) Foundation, Angela is essentially encouraging people to make healthy choices.
