Whole Self Challenge at Lake Region Healthcare

Community invited to join to group bike ride on Monday

 

[Fergus Falls], Minn. — October marks the Whole Self Employee Challenge at Lake Region Healthcare!  It commemorates the two year anniversary of Phatty Nattie’s and LRH joining forces while encouraging employees to look at Wellness in a “whole self” way versus just physical activity.

 

There are numerous activity incentives throughout the month that we hope will carry over in to employees daily routines.  Employees will be rewarded points throughout each week for completing activities that will better themselves as a whole. Some of the activities include biking/walking to work, trying the new salad bar in the cafeteria and taking 10 minutes of quiet time for themselves each day. This year, we are working towards a common points goal. If we reach our goal of 5,000 points, we plan to celebrate the success of our employees and their continued commitment to wellness.

 

LRH has also been designated as a Bicycle Friendly Business! In celebration, the Whole Self Employee Challenge will be kicked-off with a group bike ride . We welcome the community to help us celebrate. No need to have a bike as we will have Trek Bikes and helmets available for use.  Meet at The Health & Wellness HUB (Mehl Center) on Monday, October 6th at 5:30p.

 

Please feel free to contact Natalie Knutson or Karoline Gustafson at 218-736-8451 for more information!
