Good afternoon, Elmira!

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those 100 staff members that completed the 'Four Pillars of Wellness' Challenge! Over the past weeks, they have embraced movement, nutrition, mindset, and recovery—not by subtracting, but by adding meaningful practices to their lives. Some of our prizes included a Magic Bullet blender, wireless earbuds, polarized sunglasses, a fitness tracker and much more!

We hope that YOU might join us in our future wellness challenges and activities! Be sure to check out our monthly wellness newsletters for more information! You could be a winner too!

Stay Healthy Elmira!
