The employees of Levi Hospital participated in the Blue & You Fitness Challenge that began March 1 and concluded May 31. Participants were asked to be physically active as many days as possible during the challenge and to log the duration of their physical activity, as well as the type of activity on the Blue & You Fitness Challenge site. Participants received points based on the length and type of activity.
In order to stay on track and successfully complete the challenge in three months, team members were encouraged to exercise at least three times per week for 10 of the almost 14 weeks. The winners of the contest are first place, Kristen Birmingham; second place, Brenda Cooksey; and third place, Charlie Buxton. Gift cards were among the prizes received for the competition.
Participation in the program increased from last year's challenge and the hard work was noticed. Pat McCabe, president and CEO of Levi Hospital, attended a ceremony held June 21 at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock, where the winners of the 2016 Blue & You Fitness Challenge were revealed. Levi Hospital received an award for the increase in participants, as well as increase in the number of hours of exercise logged during the challenge. To encourage Levi Hospital employees to work towards a healthier lifestyle year round, "Wellness Works," a worksite wellness program, was launched July 1.
