Elizabethtown College’s Employee Wellness Team is holding its annual kickoff event on Wednesday, Sep. 9 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the KAV.
Health and wellness stations with information on women’s health, cardiac health, sleep disorders and healthy weight management and nutrition will be among the multiple different information stations available to visit from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
There will also be biometric screenings, free skin cancer screenings and flu shots for $18 and $22, respectively.
A light breakfast will be offered for all attendees at 8 a.m. and President Carl Strikwerda and Gail Bossenga will be holding a healthy lunch and discussing skin cancer, sleep disorders and stress management at 12 p.m.
Thanks to a grant from Capital Blue Cross, all Wellness Kickoff attendees will be entered in a drawing to win a FitBit. Also, everyone who completes the online Capital Blue Cross Health Assessment will be entered in a grand prize drawing for one of the following prizes: a day at the Spa at Hotel Hershey, a golf outing, an iPad, two nights at the shore (room only) or a $300.00 cash prize.
New for this year, there is a team incentive. If employees come to the Wellness Kickoff as a group and complete the online health assessment before Oct. 31, the department with the highest percentage of completed health assessments will receive a healthy breakfast on the date of their choosing.
