Pender Community Hospital is excited about losing! The Biggest Loser Challenge has 38 employees making up the five teams that are involved in the 22-week weight loss challenge. Dee Moeller, Employee Health Coordinator and the Wellness Committee have developed a plan to encourage and challenge each other along the way. "We all needed a boost to get us through the holidays without gaining weight so we thought we would start the challenge now and continue it through March" said Moeller. "Each person takes more accountability for their diet and exercise regime when they know their team members are counting on them to stay focused." Trisha Kinnaman, Physical Therapist and Wellness Committee member noted, "The ultimate goal is to make life-long changes in our diet and exercise routines, improve our health, and have fun along the way."
