Points Tracking

Points will be awarded to individuals based on their participation in various health, wellness and fitness activities, such as receiving a wellness assessment (blood pressure, waist circumference and weight), working out at the center, joining a community walk/race, or even donating to a food drive. Each point you earn for yourself also adds to your city’s point total.
