SOMC believes a lifetime of wellness begins with our youth. Partnering with the Sports Motion Athletic Trainers/ Wellness Coaches, we have developed health information aimed at school age children. Upon request, members from the Community Health team can provide information and/or presentations focused on eating right, moving more, and tobacco prevention. Our Mission: Nutrition, Rethink Your Drink, and iDon’t.iWon’t visuals and material will provide eye opening evidence of what unhealthy habits can do to our bodies.
Healthy Habits
Members of the Community Health team can provide a mindfulness presentation that can help bring awareness to your life. The program is filled with information to help with stress management, coping mechanisms, ways to use mindfulness, and self-care techniques. Please call 740.356.2552 for more information.
Mindfulness Presentation
Healthy Habits is a course offered by SOMC to help our community members adopt healthy life-style changes. This comprehensive program focuses on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, mindfulness, and more. Each session is conducted as a mini-support group and participants share ideas surrounding the weekly topic. The program helps adults achieve and maintain healthy lifestyle choices through educational materials, engaging onsite sessions, and group support at the worksite and other places throughout the community. For more information, please contact Community Health at 740.356.2552.
Vaping and Juuling 101 Presentation
SOMC has developed an informational presentation about the new popular trend that has taken country, especially the youth, by storm. The program discusses Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), how they work, associated risks, their composition, JUULs, and targeted marketing. For more information, please contact Community Health at 740.356.2552.
Rethink Your Drink
Do you ever wonder what’s really in that cup? Southern Ohio Medical Center can help you better understand if your beverage selection deserves a passing grade or needs an upgrade.
This program helps people of all ages realize the impact of sugar sweetened beverages on their health. A Soda-briety Challenge is also available for groups.
Mission: Nutrition
You’ve probably heard, “you are what you eat”, but have you ever thought how much physical activity it takes to burn off that slice of pizza? Southern Ohio Medical Center is committed to help our communities ‘Eat Right’ and ‘Move More’ so that we can ‘Stay Healthy’. This program will direct learners of all ages that it’s ok to occasionally have a treat to eat, but that there is work to do after snacking!
