Healthy Habits Virtual Wellness Challenges
Wellness University invites you to form or join a department team or participate individually in a series of wellness challenges that encourage you to form and maintain at least 2 healthy habits while supporting your overall well-being. Studies show that it takes several weeks to adopt a healthy habit, and while using the GoKP platform, we can easily make it possible, together.
Take the first step, and make sure to registered in GoKP at kp.org/gokp. Review the challenges below and commit to being part of at least one or all.
