16th ANNUAL HEALTH WALK GETS COUNTY EMPLOYEES MOVING   

Anoka County Health Walk

Anoka County’s 16th annual health walk held May 13 had more than 120 participating employees. Anoka County Commissioners Rhonda Sivarajah and Robyn West, human service committee members, put on their walking shoes and joined Government Center employees on a walk around the city of Anoka while satellite county buildings hosted walks in their neighborhoods, too.

"Exercise offers so many benefits," Sivarajah told employees. "Regular physical activity helps to reduce your risk for many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes and high blood pressure."

Pictured are: Keith Reilly, Teresa Schieffer, Rhonda Sivarajah, Karla Lian, and Rachel Mahon Bosmon, one of the walk leaders.
