10% Off Weight Loss in June; student discounts too

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Date: June 2013
Time:
The Governor has declared June to be "Obesity Awareness Month" in the state of South Carolina.

Here is a handout with some overweight and obesity statistics for our State (these are 2010 stats, but very similar to more recent stats): http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/stateprograms/fundedstates/pdf/South-Carolina-State-Profile.pdf .

To turn this around, it is going to take concerted efforts on all levels: individuals, families, groups, employers, communities, insurers, providers, the State, and the Nation.

So, we at the MUSC Weight Management Center are doing what we can by providing our MUSC family and the rest of the Lowcountry with the most trusted, professional, and proven weight loss programs. Not only have our weight management professionals been providing evidence-based weight loss programs since 1974 (NEARLY 4 DECADES), but we offer financial incentives:

1. 10% off to anyone who enrolls during Obesity Awareness Month (June 2013)!
2. MUSC students (and spouses/domestic partners) will receive an additional discount!

Call, email, or visit us online for more information about our programs or to get scheduled for a FREE program orientation. Our website has lots of information about us and our programs, as well as helpful tools, tips, and patient stories.

Don't pass up this wonderful opportunity! Together, we can begin to turn this health problem around.

Whether you have a little or a lot to lose.

Time: 4pm-7th inning of the game

The silent auction will begin when the gates open at 6 pm and will conclude in the 7th inning.

The RiverDogs need volunteers to monitor the auction tent throughout the game, keep an eye on items and bids, and answer questions people may have about how the bidding and close-out process works.

As a thank you, the RiverDogs will give all volunteers a volunteer t-shirt and "doggie dollars" that can be used like cash inside the stadium.

Lost - FitBit pedometer

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

It seems that I lost my FitBit Ultra pedometer a week ago this past Monday. Please see the website above to see what this pedometer looks like.

I most likely lost it on one of the MUSC buses traveling from Lockwood to campus or somewhere between IOP and the Library. If you happen to find it, please contact me at the above email address. I know it must be ever so lonely just sitting somewhere not getting steps.
