Philip Health Services - 12 in '13
The hospital developed a 12-month wellness initiative to help people learn to make small, manageable changes in their daily health habits. Participants learned to adopt one new health habit each month in 2013. Every month, participants received information about a particular health habit, which was broken down into three levels: first step, moderate move and life changer. A small incentive gift was offered each month for motivation, and stations were made available for participants to privately check weight, body composition and blood pressure.
