WOW Wednesdays and Terrific Tuesdays. Once a month we offer a program with a volunteer health professional with a presentation or screening, which counts as ½ hour paid training time for any employee who attends. Light refreshments and small door prizes are offered at these events.
Beginning In 2007, in conjunction with the Tour de Georgia, the Floyd County Wellness Program inaugurated the “Warren Strickland Spirit of Inspiration Award”. This award is given to the handcyclist who most inspires the other cyclists. It is highly regarded and awarded annually at the hand-cycling race in Floyd County.
