Welcome To The Ashtabula County Medical Center Wellness Site

Ashtabula County Medical Center received a grant in 2007 from the Greater Cleveland Healthcare Association to establish an Employee Wellness Program. This Wellness Program has encouraged all employees, along with their family and friends, to seek a healthier life-style . We encourage all employees to join and participate in the programs offered to them. When we work on these programs together, it makes it so much more fun and productive.

Shape Up & Go! 2012

http://www.shapeupandgo.org/

Shape Up & Go! is a fun 12-week, team-based fitness, pedometer steps, and/or weight loss competition for ACMC employees.

You are invited to form a team of coworkers and compete with other teams to exercise the most hours, lose the most weight, and/or walk the most steps.

Shape Up & Go! is designed for employees of all fitness levels. We’ll provide you with tools and resources to easily set goals, track your progress, and motivate your coworkers.

All participants will receive and have access to...

• Printed competition logbook

• Online team tracker system and nutrition tracker

• Weekly exercise and nutrition tips

No registration fee.

Are you ready to begin making healthy lifestyle changes? If you participated in either or both of the previous sessions, keep the momentum going and sign up again! http://www.shapeupandgo.org/

The Steps to Join:

1. Recruit Your Team (Individuals can sign up too!) Team captains register online at www.shapeupandgo.org and use our online system to recruit a team (5-11 members including the team captain). Captains will lead their teams in the 12-week challenge to increase physical activity, lose weight, and eat healthier.

2. Get Ready To Compete: The company-wide competition begins on Monday, January 30, 2012. Sign up online.

3. Get Set To Move: Teams may choose to compete in one, two, or all three competition divisions. Results will be based onaverage weight loss per team member, average hours of total exercise per team member, and average total pedometer steps per person on the team. Each division will have its own separate team standings.

4. Go! Employees will record their daily progress online or in the printed logbook. Team standings will be published online every two weeks. To protect your privacy, if you choose to participate in the weight loss division, no other participant will ever be able to see your individual weight.

5. The Payoff: The reward of meeting your goals and the fun of working together with coworkers to pursue a healthy lifestyle.
