Give a Little of Your Sole: Walking for Community & Health
Note: This article is over 60 days old, and may contain information that is out of date, or has been superseded by newer information.
Part of Capital Health Plan’s commitment to its members is commitment to the community. One perfect avenue is participating in the sponsored walks and runs of charitable organizations. The walks help raise funds for important causes and promote health. They are a great way for CHP to invest in the community and bring friends and family together. CHP senior management has partnered with staff to form the CHP Walking Team—employees willing to give a little of their sole.
Get in Stride Yourself.
You’re invited to join the CHP team or form a team of your own. During the past year, this walking prescription has benefited our employees while serving others. If a daily fitness walk could be put in a pill, it would be the most popular prescription in the world. Major research shows the benefits are numerous and the risks low. Walking strengthens your heart, lowers blood pressure, helps to reduce body fat, and improves blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Stop by and see us at the events listed below!
