ACCEHW sponsoring ‘Walking Wednesdays’ in May

The Advisory Committee to the Chancellor for Employee Health and Wellness (ACCEHW) is partnering with the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and the Healthy Charlotte Council to promote healthy living throughout Charlotte.

The Healthy Charlotte Council is focused on helping Charlotte become nationally recognized for its health initiatives and robust health services industry. Its goal is to achieve a top 10 ranking in the American Fitness Index within the next five years. The Charlotte Chamber’s Healthy Charlotte Council is partnering with Everybody Walk! to encourage citizens to adopt healthier lifestyles.

Walking Wednesdays is an ACCEHW event to encourage members of the campus community to walk for 30 minutes or more every Wednesday during the month of May.

Departments/units interested in organizing a group to take a 30-minute walk on May 6 can meet ACCEHW members at the Cone University Center Plaza at 12:30 p.m. Units can organize their own walks on Wednesdays, too. Participants are requested to email Celia Thompson (celia@readyfitness.com), a chamber representative, with a report on their groups (number of walkers and minutes walked).
