90 DAY WELLNESS CHALLENGE.....

Wellness is a healthy MIND, BODY and SPIRIT.  As healthcare providers sometimes we get so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves.  The 90 Day Wellness Challenge is an individual challenge for the doctors, nurses, midwives and staff of our Maternity Department.  One is not competing against anyone, there are are no prizes!!

 Each month we will do weights, blood pressures, blood sugars.  We encourage all women to have pap smears, everyone to have dental and eye exams.  We encourage men to do monthly testicular checks and women to do self breast exams.  We encourage everyone to walk 30 minutes/day, eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day, stop smoking, keep alcohol and kava in moderation and practice meditation and/or relaxation exercises for 5 minutes a day.  Each week I will pass out healthy recipes and health tips.  A small record book was given to record progress.  We hope everyone has fun with the challenge and we all striving for healthy minds, bodies and spirits!!!!!
