Avera McKennan Community Weight Loss Challenge

Thank you for your interest in the Avera McKennan Community Weight Loss Challenge. A formal challenge will not be held in 2010, but Avera McKennan is happy to offer several options which individuals, groups and companies can use to pursue healthy lifestyle change. Below are some offerings to consider.

Health Coaching

Allows you to work with a trained health professional in defining and achieving your individual or group health goals. For more information, please e-mail Corporate Health Services or call Amy at 322-3866, or Lacey at 322-3871.

Classes

Individuals, families or small groups: Seek out free or low-cost classes you can attend together, on topics like gardening, healthy cooking, health, and wellness activities! There are classes offered year-round at Avera McKennan, HyVee, and through other community groups like the Parks and Recreation Department. Pick an evening each week or a special Saturday to get together to learn something new, try out a new activity or just take a spin on the bike trails!

Weight Loss Programs

Seek out information on programs in your area. The Avera McKennan Fitness Center offers a spectacular weight loss group as well as activities for every fitness level, from Boot Camps to aquatic workouts. Another great option is the Avera Center for Medical Nutrition. Avera Center for Medical Nutrition is proud to offer the OPTIFAST and OPTITRIM programs, which are physician led weight loss programs designed to enhance healthy living.

Companies & Employees

If you would like to conduct a weight loss or health initiative at your place of business, we encourage you to ask your leaders to contact Avera McKennan Corporate Health at 322-3862. Many area businesses already use Corporate Health services and our specially-trained team can help you make your workplace wellness goals a reality!

Thank you again for your interest in Avera wellness offerings, and best of success in building your healthy lifestyle!
