Wellness Program
The Pikeville College Wellness Program kicked off during the fall 2007 semester with the first official event, “Steptember.” The event was quite successful with 96 employees participating on 24 walking teams.
As a result of the numerous requests to continue walking on into the fall, “Walktober” was rolled out during the month of October. This event was a strong follow-up with 14 teams of 56 employees walking for a healthier tomorrow.
All ideas for wellness events are welcome. Please e-mail Human Resources with your ideas and requests.
