Just a reminder that a representative from Independent Health will be here today (February 28) and tomorrow (February 29) from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. in Grupp Fireside Lounge for individual consultations to receive a Healthy Weight Healthy Me Kit, and be weighed to obtain initial numbers. Consultations will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
After registering with Independent Health, participants will receive weekly emails with tips to help everyone stay motivated. A representative from Independent Health will return within four weeks to weigh participants and review progress, and again at eight weeks for a final weigh. Everyone who completes the program will be entered into a drawing for some fabulous prizes!
Please note that the college never receives individual health information.
