Financial Wellness
Physical fitness is just one important aspect of overall well-being. The health of your finances can impact not only your bank account, but your health and your relationships. Take advantage of the many free workshops being offered this month through the 5th Annual Financial Education Conference to help you address any personal finance concerns that may be creating stress in your life.
Wednesday, April 7 is National Start! Walking Day. Physical inactivity doubles the risk of heart disease, which is our nation's number one killer. Use this day as a starting point toward adopting a heart-healthy work style. So, lace up those sneakers and Start! walking.
