Hey Triangle employers, are you up for a challenge? A wellness challenge that is. Gather 2-10 co-workers and get a team on board with the Live Healthy Triangle: Partnering for a Healthier Community Challenge. This 100-day challenge is a low cost way to get employees motivated in a team centered weight loss and physical activity program that can help them make positive changes for life.  

This event, presented by Rex Wellness is scheduled to take place January 20, 2011 – April 29, 2011. Sponsorship is provided by the Greater Raleigh Sports Council, the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, and the Live Healthy America Foundation.

With North Carolina a top state in obesity rates, this program is sure to be a great addition to your wellness program. To learn more about the program and how your company can participate, contact Alison Barnwell at abarnwell@raleighchamber.org or call the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce at (919) 664-7070.

We've developed a medical management component to aid our clients with various aspects of wellness program maintenance.
