WE MADE IT!

WWKS Team and Topeka Champion

We are excited to be on the road again, traveling to our second community workshop.  Snow stopped us once, but Kansas weather permitting, we have finally made it! This trip has already been an adventure.  One tank of gas, a goose egg and a missing cell phone later, we arrived in Topeka, in time to enjoy a healthy lunch at the Black Bird Cafe. (They serve grapes as a side option! Love!) 

Topeka Champion, Misty Jimerson, has convened an amazing group.  Represented at the WorkWell KS workshop were Auburn Washburn (USD 437), Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kanas, Community Resource Council,  Seaman High School (USD 345), Shawnee County, Shawnee County Health Agency, Shawnee County Department of Corrections, and the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.

This group challenged the WorkWell KS facilitators, pushed each other to think beyond their current work, and brainstormed some fantastic ideas to help build cultures of health at their worksites.  We look forward to see what the future holds for Topeka with these worksites leading the way in the community for health and wellness. 

See you in Pittsburg!
