Don't miss Health Happening '08
Get ready for Health Happening '08, the School of Medicine's health and wellness fair to be held Friday, March 28 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Health Happening '08, sponsored by the Wellness Council, will be held in the first floor atrium of the McDonnell Pediatrics Research Building and is free to all School of Medicine employees. Attendees will receive giveaways, prizes and health information.
In addition, School of Medicine specialists, including physicians, dietitians and nurse practitioners, will be on hand to answer individual health questions. Representatives from Siteman Cancer Center will work with participants to evaluate their risk for five major diseases using its YourDiseaseRisk tool, and occupational therapists will provide information on office ergonomics.
Also on hand will be representatives from fitness centers with which the School of Medicine has discounts and a reduced-cost "farmer's market," selling produce from a local supermarket. Participants will get information on ways to manage their own health, learn to make good food choices from registered dietitians, get stress-reduction ideas and a free 5-minute back massage. The school's Bear Bikers cycling team will offer bike safety tips and recruit for their team. There will also be an opportunity to see how yoga and Pilates can work for you and to hone your golf swing via video feedback.
Plan to take advantage of the health and fitness offerings available at Health Happening '08. All School of Medicine employees are welcome.
