The drive through the Flint Hills was full of ups and downs.
(Ba-dum, ching) No, literally, the ups were the beautiful scenery, making some
lovely friends during a pit stop in Neodesha, and the gorgeous scenery. The downs were the number of bars on our cell
phones, the scarcity of rest stops, and Elizabeth’s driving. (I’m just kidding Elizabeth... sort of.)
We arrived in Pittsburg, KS and were excited to see gorillas
everywhere! Not real giant furry guys,
but posters, signs, statues, as well as the names of menu items in restaurants!
The entire community showed their local college, Pit State, tons of love. It is always exciting to see community pride
across the state.
Keeping with our tradition of eating locally, we stopped at
Sweet Greens, Soup and Salad Bar, for a very quick lunch before our workshop.
(Fantastic food and lots of healthy options!)
The Pittsburg WorkWell KS Workshop was held at the Pittsburg Area
Chamber of Commerce. Champion, Betty Harrison, had convened an amazing
group. The City of Pittsburg, Family
Resource Center, Guest Home Estates, Mosaic and Via Christi Hospital-Pittsburg
were all present and brainstorming exciting ways to help each of their
businesses develop a culture that supports employee’s healthy behaviors. It was clear they value their employees, the
health and wellness/well-being of those employees, and want their work
environments to reflect this.We have enjoyed our time with this very engaged group.
You have all given us some great ideas and we
look forward to continuing our work with you!
