Livingston County Health Center's Adult Wellness Program - "It's A New Day"

The Livingston County Health Center offers a 10 week “It’s a New Day!” wellness program two times a year for adults who would like to get educated about improving their level of health and lose a few pounds along the way. 

The program focuses on two of the more important aspects of a healthy lifestyle:  nutrition and activity. It’s not a “diet” but rather a comprehensive program that emphasizes a healthy lifestyle approach to weight management by integrating fitness, nutrition and the behavioral aspects of eating.  Through this program, participants will experience an enhancement of their quality of life.

Each participant completes a Health Survey, Wellness Screening and attends an individual consultation, after which, educational/support will be offered for the next ten weeks. 

The Wellness Screening component of the program includes a heart health screen including measurement of blood pressure, cholesterol, lipids and glucose and body mass index to determine risk for heart disease.  Participants meet individually with a health center RN to review screening results and set individual goals for improvement.  Each week, participants weigh in and educational classes are held every other week. 

The goal for the participants completing the program is to lose 2% of their body weight by the end of the program and/or have established a regular activity/exercise routine of three times a week for at least 30 minutes a day.  The program will continue to follow up on participants, offering a subsequent wellness screening and evaluation of continued progress after the program ends.  

There is a minimal $13 charge to cover blood testing.  Those who attend the health center’s Adult Wellness Clinic can bring their blood test results and the fee to participate will be waived. 

The current session is now full and meetings begin February 24th.  If you are currently enrolled you can check our calendar for the dates and times of the meetings.
