MEXICO — River Valley Healthy Community Coalition will host a Worksite Wellness Roundtable from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 13, in the Community Room at the Oxford Federal Credit Union, 225 River Road. The event was scheduled for Jan. 12.

This is a chance to hear the latest wellness ideas, the science behind them and share concerns or challenges work sites may anticipate.

It is also a chance for work sites to ask questions, share any successes and challenges they may be encountering while creating a healthier workplace.

Featured speaker is Willow Sherwood, executive director of WELCOA Faculty, Wellness Council of Maine.

“It probably comes as no surprise that recent research shows that sitting all day at work is damaging to our health,” Sherwood said. “The Wellness Council of Maine will talk about policies and tips that you can use to get your workforce moving throughout the day. From stretching and simple exercises, to policy changes and computer downloads, you’ll get useful information that will help you and your employees get up and move and the great news is that it won’t cost you a thing.”

Carl Costanzi, 5210 Let’s Go! program coordinator, will give a brief overview of how “5210 goes to work.”

Just for fun for those who arrive by 11:45, there will be a demonstration on how to use muve.com for short, spur of the moment workouts for health and happiness at the work site.

A healthy light lunch will be served. RSVP to Carol Emery, HMP manager, at 364-7408 or rvhcc@gwi.net.
