For the past couple years, medical staffers at Clarkston Internal Medicine organized a Fitness Challenge health competition with a local insurance company.
The underwriters bowed out this year, but the medicos didn’t want to give up on the annual spring activity.
“It was so much fun, we decided to challenge the other offices here,” said Sara Beebe, biller at the 7210 N. Main Street practice. “We all worked really hard. It was really fun.”
They maintained a Fitness Challenge leader board, updating it each week during the month of May. It kept track of minutes of exercise of all types, walking, hula hooping, weight lifting, planking, etc.
“We were all watching it,” Beebe said. “This was a way to remind us to get out and keep our exercise routines up.”
Final results: Clarkston Internal Medicine, 1,537.52; Premier Pediatrics, 1,461.13; Associated OB/GYN, 986.5; and Dr. Santarossa’s Office, 1,307.13.
MVP trophies went to Dr. Bashar Okka of Clarkston Internal Medicine, Dr. Mark Thomas of Premier Pediatrics, Crystal Terneses of Dr. Santarossa’s office, and Tarah Cummings of Associated OB/GYN.
All participants celebrated with an ice cream social, June 5.
