Nearly 100 employees of
Saint
Anne's Hospital have
signed up for the Fifth Annual Fall
River Fitness Challenge as of February 3, 2011, according the
Vice-President of Mission and Community Partnerships Susan Oldrid who is
heading up the Hospital's employee wellness effort. "In addition,
we've had over 500 employees who have completed a wellness survey,"
she noted. Results of the survey will help to plan future wellness
activities. For the moment, however, all of the focus is on supporting
employees who have chosen to participate in the four-month Challenge
event that will offer numerous opportunities to learn about nutrition
and to engage in fitness activities. Cardiac rehab nurse Dixie Tavares
has mapped out the number of steps required to travel among different
parts of the hospital, and diabetes nurse educator Rose Marie Couto will
be offering a method for employees to track their progress on goals.
Fitness Challenge coordinator Annemarie Sharkey was on hand to describe
the free Challenge events and new winter
market that participants can take advantage of. Click
