The Medical
Center Launches Healthy Kids Club
The Medical Center wants
to help you keep your children and grandchildren safe and healthy. To do this, we are pleased to introduce Healthy
Kids Club. Healthy Kids Club is a
membership program for children grades kindergarten through sixth grade. The goal of Healthy Kids Club is to provide
assistance to parents and teachers in educating children on the importance of making
healthy lifestyle choices. Activities and programs offered by Healthy Kids Club will focus
on increasing physical activity, teaching balanced nutrition and encouraging safety.
Children can join The Medical Center
Healthy Kids Club by stopping by the Health & Wellness Center
located in Greenwood Mall and completing a simple application form. At the time of joining, the staff of the Health
& Wellness Center will obtain the child’s weight, height and
body mass index. The child will be given a
Healthy Kids Club t-shirt and an activity log. Once
the child completes the activity log, he or she can earn gifts including items that will
promote physical activity such as jump ropes and Frisbees.
Activities will be planned throughout the year for the members of Healthy
Kids Club. There is a one-time membership fee
of $5.00 to join Healthy Kids Club.
