Floyd County Names Walkabout Winner

(Floyd County PR) The Floyd County Working on Wellness (WOW) Program recently awarded its Walkabout Australia winner.

Teri Hollifield, an employee of The Forum, was awarded a gift certificate for dinner, compliments of Outback Steakhouse.

In November, the Floyd County Wellness walking program sponsored a Walkabout Australia. Each week a different Australian city was highlighted, with walkers turning in their mileage each week along with answers to a bonus question worth extra miles about that week’s city. Participants enjoyed the challenge and look forward to “walking through” different countries next year.

“It’s a great incentive to walk and learn a little about other places along the way,” said Wellness Committee Co-chair Linda Harris.

Floyd County’s WOW program was established in 2005. Since its inception, over 30 wellness programs have been created. This wellness program has proved to be a great investment, improving the quality of life for employees participating in the programs. The wellness program has also been a recipient of two Association of County Commissioners of Georgia grant.
