Team UAMS Gets Moving with the #ShowUsYourMoves Challenge

By Yavonda Chase

| In the month of February, UAMS had its first challenge for wellness.

The Show Us Your Moves UAMS challenge used the hashtag #showusyourmovesuams on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The challenge encouraged employees and students to post a photo on social media tagging the Get Healthy UAMS page and using the hashtag.

“I was really pleased with how many people participated in our first wellness challenge,” said Natalie Cannady, UAMS Wellness director. “I hope that even more members of Team UAMS lace up their sneakers for our upcoming challenges.”
