Arkansas Blue Cross-Blue Shield and the
Arkansas Department of Health are battling each other and the
state`s low national fitness ranking in a three-month Fitness
Challenge.
Health Department Director Fay Boozman says a ranking of 47th is
NOT something to be proud of.
The Health Department and Blue Cross-Blue Shield have a combined
five thousand employees who are asked to exercise 30 minutes a day
at least three times per week to gain points for their team.
Governor Huckabee says the team with the most points wins
bragging rights and most importantly, better health.
Sharon Allen, president of Arkansas Blue Cross-Blue Shield, says
she hopes employees will start down the road to better health.
