How Well Do You Know Stroke?<br />
Know Stroke health and wellness fairs were organized<br />
at each of the three offi ce sites. Blood pressure screening<br />
was available and Canadian Blood Services (CBS) offered<br />
free blood typing. A total of 82 employees were screened.<br />
Employees who were screened could enter their names<br />
for a chance to win a prize. Congratulations to Vivian Ryan<br />
who won an iPod nano ® .<br />
During the lunch break, Jon Brent and Louise Cocchetto<br />
(CBS volunteers) shared their personal stories of how<br />
blood donations saved their lives. Their inspiring stories<br />
reinforced the importance of giving blood and the fact<br />
that people in the Windsor-Essex community are always<br />
in need of life-saving blood from generous donors.<br />
Windsor Learn to Run participants are smiling as they accomplished meeting<br />

approximately 17% of those<br />

of their high blood pressure<br />
and were asked to make<br />
a follow-up appointment<br />
with their health care<br />
provider or seek immediate<br />
medical attention.<br />

Learn to Run<br />
WTW committee members at Chrysler<br />
Headquarters initiated a Learn to Run (LTR)<br />
clinic, which blossomed into an invitation<br />
to all employees at the three offi ce sites<br />
and WAP. Approximately 30 employees and<br />
family members registered for this 9-week<br />
clinic. These fun, inspiring classes happened rain or shine<br />
and a great bond among participants was formed. LTR is<br />
coming again this fall... back by popular demand.<br />
