Expanded 2010 Day of Wellness Opportunities with Methodist Hospital

The Group Health Benefits Committee is delighted to offer an expanded schedule of 15 dates for the Day of Wellness with Methodist Hospital, including 6 dates at East Texas locations such as Texarkana, Tyler, Longview and College Station.  Methodist Hospital Wellness Staff will be taking the Day of Wellness “on the road” to each of these locations, so that participants will receive the identical program at all locations as would be offered at Methodist Hospital in Houston.

Register for a Day of Wellness with MethodistHospital

The Day of Wellness with Methodist Hospital is the entry point into the Center for Clergy Excellence Group Health Benefits Wellness Program for employee/dependent spouse participants of the Group Health Benefits Program of the Texas Annual Conference.  Eligible employee/dependent spouse participants in the Wellness Program can receive up to $1,000 in cash incentives as they achieve their wellness goals (please see Incentives in Wellness Program Information Packet below). 

The Day of Wellness begins with cholesterol, weight and blood pressure screening followed by a nutritious breakfast (you will need to fast starting at midnight - water and black coffee or tea are permitted). Dress comfortably in exercise or casual clothes. 

During the day you will participate in six informative and experiential sessions (three in the morning and three in the afternoon with a delicious, nutritious lunch in between):

1. Receive 1 to 1 personal coaching on your Health Risk Appraisal including cholesterol and target Body Mass Index (BMI)
2. Learn balanced nutrition and weight loss using your own “deck of cards”
3. Build muscle tone with strengthening exercises (no machines – just flexible bands)
4. Taste a variety of Super Foods – your palate will be pleasantly surprised with these nutrition “superstars”
5. Relax and stretch muscles with gentle flexibility exercises
6. Learn stress triggers and practical ways of managing stress

Registration for the Day of Wellness is limited to 36 – 40 participants.  A $175 registration fee must be submitted with each registration form to guarantee the participant’s registration.  If you are a TAC employee/dependent spouse participant of the Group Health Benefits program, your registration fee will be refunded to you upon your completion of the Day of Wellness. For other participants, the cost is $175 per person.
