Congratulations to the Richford Simply Health Class!
Graduation, May 2012.
RHNSCNY offers the Simply Health Wellness program periodically throughout Broome, Tioga, and Delaware Counties. Simply Health is designed to help participants live healthier lives through better eating habits, increased physical activity, and stress reduction. Classes are typically held once a week for nine weeks. The Simply Health program draws from the expertise of area health, nutrition, and fitness professionals. Participants receive incentives, including pedometers and stretch bands, to encourage continued activity outside of the classroom.
As of January 2013, RHNSCNY has held 32 Simply Health programs throughout Broome, Tioga, and Delaware Counties. Of the over 500 participants in the program, 71% have graduated. Of graduates, 83% showed improved health indicators, including weight loss, lower blood pressure, or smaller waist measurement. 75% of graduates self-reported improved behavioral chances, including an increase in exercise or improved eating habits.
