Livingston County Health Center's Adult Wellness Program - "Weight Loss and Wellness"
The Livingston County Health Center offers a 10 week “Weight Loss and 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 Weight Loss & Wellness 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 receives an individual consultation, after which, educational support will be offered for a ten week session.
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 $15 charge to cover blood testing.If you are interested in being a part of the next session of Weight Loss & Wellness, call 646-5506 to speak with Program Coordinator Anita Perry, RN.
