(DES MOINES, Iowa) The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is taking part in a national health program designed for individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions or mobility limitations.
“14 Weeks to a Healthier You” is an online program that helps participants get moving and make healthy choices.
“This is an exciting program because it is so inclusive,” said IDPH Brain Injury and Disability Program Manager Maggie Ferguson. “It takes into consideration a variety of limitations, so virtually anyone can find an activity and nutrition plan that works for them.”
The program is free. Participants register online. Each week participants receive articles, tips, reminders, alerts and features to help track nutrition and activity are included, and access to wellness coaches is available.
