Wellness Message from Shana Hansen Healthy Employees = Healthy Agency The C3 Wellness committee remains committed to the overall wellness of our members. We welcomed the services of Kelly McBride in late November. Kelly is a certified personal trainer, weight loss specialist with Cross Fit training. Kelly will be available an hour a day twice a week to anyone who enters the center during her stated hours. We continue to offer weekly yoga sessions. Yoga remains as our highest rated activity by the attendees and we look forward to continuing these services in the New Year! The overall goal of this project is to help Mississippians become healthier. With this initiative we strive to increase wellness education, improve health, reduce illness, improve productivity, reduce medical costs, reduce absence from work as well as strengthen the partnerships within our complex. We strive to motivate employees to work together as well as challenge each other to become healthier employees. In summary, we are very pleased with our progress to date. We are very excited about the New Year’s activities and challenges. We will continue offering educational Lunch and Learns, a personal trainer, yoga, healthy cooking and dance/step classes. We are proud of what we have accomplished this quarter and we want to continue to motivate our employees to participate in all aspects of the C3 Wellness Center as we well as strive to be healthier people. The C3 Wellness Center will hold a “New Year New You” sign- up day in January for new members and new employees. We will also promote all activities and have a sign up for New Year challenges. Kelly McBride, our new personal trainer, will also be What’s Your Story? Would you like to tell your story? We would love to hear it! Submit a bio to be included in next quarter’s newsletter.
