To prepare university faculty and staff for the start of Active U Autumn, MHealthy is hosting free health expos Thursday at Pierpont Commons and Oct. 6 at the Michigan Union.
“These events are a fun and easy way to get all your health-related questions answered in less than 20 minutes,” says Colleen Greene, MHealthy wellness coordinator. “In one place you can watch a live chef demo to learn about eating healthier, get a free flu shot, talk to a fitness or stress management expert, and sign up for Active U Autumn.”
MHealthy “Tailgate” Expos include (some activities are not available at all locations):
• Live chef demonstrations
• MHealthy staff offering tips and information on nutrition, exercise, stress, ergonomics, alcohol management and tobacco treatment
• Flu shot clinic (present your U-M health insurance card to avoid a co-pay)
• Food samples
• Michigan Student Assembly’s MFarmer’s Market (Michigan Union location only)
• Giveaways and games
• Grand prize drawings for athletic equipment and gift certificates
• Registration stations for Active U Autumn and Big House Big Heart Run/Walk
• Water stations (bring your own water bottle)
