Mass in Motion Springfield

Live Well Springfield is a Community Movement to support healthy eating and active living. LWS works to influence policy, systems, and the environment that will increase access to and utilization of healthy food and physical activity options for residents in Springfield, MA.  Policy focuses include: Complete Streets to make it safer in the city for all modes of transportation; improving physical activity and nutrition in Pre-K and K-12 environments to prevent and reduce chronic disease and obesity; and smoking prevention among youth.  Other projects include a mobile farmer’s market and partnerships to improve the built environment in places where people live, grow, work, and play.
In instances involving treatment of edema due to liver pathologies, Lasix is used in the initial dose of 20-80 mg. In the case of acute renal failure, Lasix injections are recommended. Injections can be administered intramuscularly or intravenously.
