“Live Healthy Iowa” participation prizes awarded by Veterans Memorial Hospital during Family Wellness Fair set for May 11

Veterans Memorial Hospital has announced they will again be awarding prizes to all those in Allamakee and northern Clayton counties that participated in the Live Healthy Iowa 10 week wellness challenge in 2016.  That challenge has recently come to an end for this year.  Prizes for all participants will be awarded during the hospital’s annual Family Wellness Fair which will be held on Wednesday, May 11, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the hospital.
Veterans Memorial Hospital supports and encourages the Live Healthy Iowa state-wide wellness program for all individuals in this area for wellness motivation and support.   This web-based program offers all participants a personal tracking page that allows everyone to keep their own results right in front of them at all times.  It also gives professional support including weekly motivational emails and unlimited access to recipes, workouts and other health information, all easily accessible on the Live Healthy Iowa website.
 For the last four years, Allamakee County won the community participation prize for the number of residents enrolled in the program and will hopefully be able to claim that title again for a fifth year.
In order to claim your participation prize at the Veterans Memorial Hospital Family Wellness Fair, Live Healthy Iowa participants are asked to present their access card at the receptionist desk during the fair.  Personalized participant access cards can be found by going to the Live Healthy Iowa website at www.livehealthyiowa.org and under the participant’s “my dashboard” tab, clicking on the “access card” graphic at the bottom right of that dashboard page.  The card can then be printed and brought in to redeem the prize.
