Hike Your Favorite Spots with Wellness at Work!

In May, you shared submissions of your favorite local hikes—and the Wellness at Work team was inspired! 

Based on your recommendations and their collaboration with the Personify Health team, a brand-new Personify Health step challenge is available this month that includes many of your favorite hikes. Get ready to lace up your shoes and join us as we explore the breathtaking trails of Southwest Virginia together—virtually AND physically! 

"Carilion's Favorite Hikes" Challenge runs Thursday, Sept. 18 – Thursday, Oct. 2. You’ll visit destinations like Buffalo Mountain Preserve, Sharp Top and Cascade Falls, to name a few. Learn fun facts about these local favorites while you track your steps! Challenge invitations were emailed, starting Sept. 8. You can also check your Personify Health account for details.
