Kudos! January Wellness Champions

EDWS sponsored a 12-week fall “Slim to Fit” Challenge for individuals and teams. The top winners were announced at a special holiday gathering in December.

The winners of the individual category were: first place, Chris Ely; second place, Lynette Forte Reid; and third place, Gwendolyn Ann Kearney

A group of staff and faculty from the School of Public Health won the team category, shedding 35.5 pounds over 12 weeks.  The five team members took walks together during the lunch hour on most work days and supported each other in making healthier decisions, such as bringing fruit to work for  snacks rather than higher calorie options.

The team members were Maggie Tolan, Kim Renee, Ramsey-White, Lynette Forte Reid, Esther Singh and Denise Gouveia.

EDWS also recognized the School of Public Health team as the most spirited in the fall competition!
