This year HealthyU Employee Wellness Program has created the HealthyU Team under the Move & Improve program. As a member of the team, you can easily track your physical activity and see the total physical activity in which the team has engaged. There will be monthly prize drawings for members of the team who meet their physical activity goals. You do not need to join the HealthyU Team to participate in the Move & Improve program.

Move & Improve is an Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems program with the goal of increasing physical activity on a daily/weekly basis to improve personal fitness and wellness. Choose the physical fitness goal that’s right for you and record your physical activity online. If you meet your fitness goal for eight of twelve weeks, you’ll be entered into a prize drawing. It’s a real win-win: Join and have the chance to win prizes simply for improving your wellness.
