Fort HealthCare Community Challenges

As our mission states, we are working every day to improve the health and well-being of our community. We know that this is difficult, so we’ve developed fun, interactive wellness challenges to give our communities the tools they need to make important lifestyle changes. Every challenge offers:

• A set number of weeks to push yourself to form new, healthy habits, typically eight weeks.
• Awesome prizes like gift certificates, fitness equipment, or passes to health clubs.
• An online system for tracking individual or team progress.
• Educational articles to teach WHY we should form new habits and HOW to do so EVERYDAY.

Virtual 5K Series

During the summer of 2020, we started the Fort HealthCare Virtual 5K Series! The free series includes several different “races” held one time per month during different seasons. Participants complete a “virtual 5k”—meaning, they walk or run 3.1 miles on a course that they choose or complete by treadmill. Once completed, participants submit their time and are put on a virtual leaderboard that tracks their overall place compared to all participants.

Slimdown Challenge

The 2020 Slimdown Challenge is revving up for the upcoming holiday season! This FREE challenge runs November 17th-December 29th with the theme: “Health for the Holidays.” It’s no secret that 2020 has been a challenging year for most, and has been full of changes, anxieties and the “new normal”. One thing that hasn’t changed is Fort HealthCare’s commitment to our communities’ health, and making sure that our communities and partners feel supported during this tumultuous time. Through this pandemic, we know that maintaining overall health is more important than ever, and that daily physical activity should be part of that plan.
