Hunter's Ambulance Featured in Journal for Emergency Dispatchers

November 28, 2010

Meriden, CT's Hunter's Ambulance was recently featured in The Journal for Emergency Dispatchers. It is a fact that happy, healthy dispatchers make fewer mistakes and their minds and bodies are sharper. Hunter's Ambulance Service instituted the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge, with some twists such as participants receiving $1 for each pound lost.

Their pedometer and journal program promotes tracking activity through the amount of steps employees take as well as what they eat. Points are earned for eating fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts, and drinking 64 ounces of water per day. Each week the person with the most points wins a personal parking space for the week and the choice of an Eat This, Not That book, a Subway gift card, or a Biggest Loser Cookbook.

Hunter's also arranges for an employee health fair; guest speakers on healthy cooking, eating, and living; weekly exercise DVD classes; walks; and free seminars on disease prevention topics like breast cancer, diabetes, and cholesterol. Michael Loiz, telecommunications coordinator, said the activities promote health awareness and encourage camaraderie. "It allows departments that don't normally interact the opportunity to have fun together!"
