Thriving Through Winter

The Winter STREAK Wellness Program is a FREE 12-week community program designed to promote wellness by encouraging participants to increase physical activity, eat healthy and reduce stress. It is a fun and effective way to increase your health and well-being during these cold winter months.

What Is the Goal?

Complete a STREAK in any form or fashion to string together daily, consistent healthy habits over time. WellSpan Health and its community partners have created a series of workshops, bingo cards, a wellness guide (Spanish version) and a resource library  to support you on this journey. Engage at any level and use the tools available to you so you can STREAK through the winter months.

Who Can Participate?

This challenge is open to everyone. Invite your spouse, partner, coworkers and friends to participate with you as you STREAK through the winter!

When Do We Start?

Winter STREAK runs Monday, Jan. 8 through Friday, March 29, 2024. You can join at any time during the program dates to qualify for prizes.
