YOUR HEALTH
Retiree, volunteer fit and full of life and a spirit for giving BWell Staff Writer
A
fter retiring in 2005 after working for 32 years as a staff secretary in the Kern High School District, Shirley Hill continues to keep her plate full. “People tell me, ‘You are always on the go.’ And I tell them, ‘Don’t stop moving — that’s what keeps me going,’” said Hill, 71. And she doesn’t stop, and always has something to do in the morning, afternoon and in the evening. This energetic soul keeps busy volunteering as an officer with the Order of the Eastern Star; a treasurer for the local NAACP chapter; an officer and member of the choir at Cain Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church; and most recently, she started man-
ning the information desk at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital several hours a week. Shirley is so passionate about giving back to her community that she’s even influenced friends from her church to volunteer at the hospital. It’s one of her favorite places because she gets to meet new people who come through the hospital’s doors. Plus, she gets more exercise by walking the stairs as much as possible. “I get up with the attitude, ‘I’m going to feel good today,’” Hill said. Her routine may vary depending on each day’s schedule, but Shirley tries to get up in the morning while it's still cool to walk. She usually strolls for 30 minutes to an hour. If the weather is bad, she’ll even walk around inside her home. Please see HILL / PAGE 2
