Choose Well: More than 4.5 billion steps logged during first quarterly challenge

The first Choose Well quarterly challenge was a success with more than 4.5 billion steps logged by nearly 41,000 caregivers throughout Providence St. Joseph Health and its partner organizations. If you logged your workouts/steps at least once March 12-18 and at least once March 19-25, you earned thousands of points toward your health incentive on your Choose Well account, powered by Virgin Pulse.

Heard during and after the challenge:

  • “Our team had five dedicated guys that have remained faithful to this challenge and our team. We refuse to lose a challenge and were able to keep each other accountable. On a very positive note, in a short period of time between the five of us, we have lost nearly 50 lbs. This proves a very nice point that a team can really make things happen.”
  • “Hard work, no cheating, getting up at 3:00 in the morning and out in the moonlight. Bring the same inspiration to always do my best at work and do my best to thank others. Surrounded myself with other workers who have the same mind set. Keep moving when you’re sore and tired.”
  • “Feeling great and having fun! Let’s keep it up!”
  • “I might not have the most steps, but I have been walking more than normal.”
  • “My office mates started 20 min power walks at noon.”
  • I am going to miss this challenge. 3 days to go. I WILL KEEP ON TRUCKIN!
