We're having a (Southwest) family intervention! Our parent clinic, Southwest Family Physicians, started a healthy living initiative, and we decided to meet their efforts with a weight loss challenge!

...final weigh-in on February 4th...

Nine of our employees are taking the challenge for 90 days, with final weigh-in on February 4th. The whole clinic is supporting the effort, and we've made healthy changes all around.

We're asking pharmaceutical representives to bring more health conscious meals when they provide them, and our management is ordering nutritious lunches for our staff meetings. SWFP has implemented a clinic-wide 'No Candy, No Soda' policy, and it's (awesomely) been quite the easy transition! We encourage you to push for this type of policy in your workplace to help support anyone and everyone trying to make positive change of habit.
