Walking the public health walk

A big thank you to all the Annual Meeting attendees who participated in this year’s APHA 2016 Steps Challenge!

Overall, registered participants walked or ran nearly 2.5 million steps! The winners of this year’s challenge, which was sponsored by Centura Health, are Jessica Schwiesow of Auburn, Alabama, who took top spot in the runners category with 75,103 steps, and Eveleen Sng of Oxford, Mississippi, who took first prize in the walkers category with 77,041 steps.
