Biggest Loser
Steps recently assisted the MN Department of Transportation’s District 8 with their version of the Biggest Loser. After 12 weeks, 40 participants lost a combined weight of 515 pounds! Over half of the participants have signed on to continue the program into June.
Opportunities for Funding
Steps to a Healthier Willmar is offering small grants to local businesses for employee wellness programming. These grants will be awarded to Willmar employers that are interested in improving the health of their employees and encouraging healthy behaviors.
The small grants are intended to improve healthy behaviors among staff at Willmar worksites. The funds can be used to assist with the organization of a wellness committee, enhance existing wellness program plans, implement a health program or challenge and develop wellness policies. The funds can be used for programs or programming in the areas of physical activity, healthy eating, weight management, tobacco cessation or improving self care of chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes.
