Creating a #HealthyMadison
Random Acts of Wellness
We've all heard of a Random Act of Kindness, when you spontaneously do a kind act to help someone else. This is the same idea with a twist - an unexpected act to improve someone's health and well-being.
Why? As Madison's community health system, we don't just want to be there for you when you're sick; we want to help our community be healthy. It's why we're partnering with organizations like Hy-Vee to encourage people to live healthier and happier lives. We're creating a #HealthyMadison one random act of wellness at a time.
Commit your own Random Act of Wellness
Help us create a #HealthyMadison - it's easy! Here are just a few ideas to get you started.
- Take your friend (and their dog) out for a walk
- Bring in a healthy salad to share at the office
- Help your neighbors tend to their garden or give them some of your garden goodies
- Donate some nutritious items to a local food pantry
- Secretly pick up the tab for someone else at your fitness class
- Organize a lunchtime stroll with your co-workers
