|  | | Despite the rain on Wednesday, April 5, Emory employees joined thousands across the country to celebrate National Walking Day. This annual event sponsored by the American Heart Association is a call-to-action to increase physical activity by starting with a 30-minute walk during the workday to promote fitness and well-being.
Although many walks had to be moved indoors or rescheduled for an alternative date, National Walking Day was still an enjoyable activity for the hundreds of employees who participated. Walks were guided by Wellness Champions, members of Emory Healthcare leadership and other employees dedicated to health and well-being. Each walk offered something special and some were downright creative! | Read More |

Supported by Healthy Emory, this is the second outdoor walking path to be installed at Emory Healthcare to promote physical activity at the work place. The design of the walking path takes staff around the facility, utilizing existing sidewalks, parking lots and an off-the-pavement track. The EJCH walking path consists of four directional paths: half-mile, three-quarter-mile, eight-tenths-mile and 1.4 mile walking opportunities. Each path is clearly marked with color-coded arrows and signage. Staff can select the path length based on how much time they have to walk. | Read More |
