Wellness Champions - Congratulations Matchup "Losers"

UNM Community Wellness

Employee Health Promotion Program encouraged participation in a competition called “The Matchup” from September through December 2011. This program challenged individuals to decrease weight with the encouragement of a team and cash rewards. The Matchup participants had three months to lose as much weight as possible to compete against other large employers throughout New Mexico and Arizona for a $10,000 prize. Even though UNM participants did not win the overall prize, we believe they received a greater gift, a healthy lifestyle change. Read the full article to see who were the top five Matchup "Losers."
