Stride into Spring with WellStar HealthStart’s New Walk This Way® Program

This April, Walk This Way® is stepping onto WellStar facilities to help team members enhance their overall health and physical activity levels by accumulating steps each day. This fun, 12-week walking program will be available to all WellStar team members at no cost regardless of whether you are a current HealthStart participant.

Beginning April 2, take your first step by logging on to www.wellstarhealthstart.org to sign up for the challenge. You will receive a t-shirt for participating and will also be mailed a personal digital pedometer and log-book. Beginning the week of April 16, you will be encouraged to log on to the HealthStart website to record your steps. There will be opportunities throughout WellStar to get involved in organized group walks. During the 12-week program, HealthStart participants can earn their Behavior Modification points by logging their daily physical activity on the HealthStart website.

Participants who log an average of 3,000 steps per day between April 16 - July 8 will receive one entry into the grand prize drawings. Logging additional steps per day can earn participants additional entries to be eligible for the prizes. The following incentives will be available:
