Witness to Wellness Award – Evan Markham
Congratulations to Evan Markham! Evan is the new Witness to Wellness Award recipient in the Get Fit Club.
Evan’s inspiration for a healthier lifestyle was prompted heavily by his close friends. He picked up a golf hobby. Evan states, “That led me into getting back into playing basketball.” Then, he began looking for other outdoor activities, and he added playing pickleball. Evan stated, “This was great, because it’s not a particularly strenuous activity, and I began playing it with my dad.”
Evan said he accomplishes his goals by trying his best to stay consistent. He has daily water goals, meal preps weekly lunches, and he sets fitness goals on his Apple watch. Evan states, “His workouts go a lot more smoothly with a workout partner.” So, getting his coworkers involved with the cardio, like running, use of the stationary bike and using the treadmill has been beneficial to everyone. Evan encourages others to find your favorite version of cardio, do that and to find a gym that you enjoy. The atmosphere makes a big difference in the experience. He goes on to say the fitness facility reimbursement program has been awesome. “It’s great knowing that the membership is almost completely covered by MCH.”
The Witness to Wellness program recognizes employees who are dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle. Evan works for CHC as a Payer Integrity Specialist. He was nominated because he changed his lifestyle to include “being more active.”
