Wellness at Work Kicks Off Move More Month!

Employees took advantage of sunshine and socialization on April 1, National Walking Day. 12 walks were led by Wellness at Work supporters and champions system-wide!

According to the American Heart Association, walking at a brisk pace for 150 minutes a week can boost mood, improve sleep and reduce the risk of heart disease.  1 in 4 U.S. adults sit for more than 8 hours a day; walking helps counteract the effects of sedentary behavior.
