ERHA promotes fitness among staff

THE Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA), under its wellness co-ordinator Astra Bennett, is encouraging its staff to invest in their health and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

On June 29, over 40 ERHA staff members and their family members participated in a staff wellness walk to the scenic Bamboo Cathedral in Tucker Valley, Chagaramas.

Guided by experienced physical instructors from the Defence Force, the group hiked the 300m stretch through the rainforest to the tracking station dish overlooking the bay.

With fitness in mind, strength and endurance exercises were incorporated along the route. The celebration began at the 27-point marker when the finish line with the words “Challenge Completed” was in sight.

The group then participated in an aerobics session in front of the World War II bunker, before the easy trek downhill.
