Last year, as part of the network’s Corporate Wellness program, the MediSys Health Network partnered with the Fitbit Corporation to offer employees the opportunity to purchase fitness trackers at a discounted price and improve their health as part of the network’s Corporate Wellness Program.
The response has been overwhelmingly positive to this initiative! Since the inception of the program, over 170 employees and family members took advantage of this offer and purchased Fitbit trackers. Participants had the opportunity to enroll in fitness challenges and games such as most steps taken, most stairs climbed, and most calories burned. These friendly challenges were established to motivate employees to live a healthier lifestyle through exercise.
The results of the challenges were tallied.
MediSys employees walked an amazing 99,268 miles (or the equivalent of four times around the earth). They climbed over 150,00 flights of stairs and were active for over one million minutes.
The MediSys Health Network would like to congratulate our top five “steppers”
| Peter | Tung | 5,718,851.00 |
| Lauren | Shore | 5,401,663.00 |
| Marjorie | Baker-Hall | 4,562,246.00 |
| Naomi | Sergeant | 4,080,580.00 |
| Hollita | Coppin | 3,929,843.00 |
These results affirm the MediSys Health Network’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of our employees. It also demonstrates how excited members of the MediSys were to join this program and participate in the fitness challenges.
