Family Health Manager (FHM) is an online tool available on the FirstLight Health System website that can help you manage your overall health, get you connected to local resources, and is a platform to explore health improvement options.

One component of the FHM is the Health Risk Assessment or HRA.  This is a self-administered, confidential assessment where you answer various questions about your health from 10 different categories including:  sleep, nutrition, activity, well-being, medical, pain, alcohol, stress, smoking and weight.  The assessment gives you an overall health score out of 100.  You are also able to see how you scored in each of the 10 categories individually and access resources related to those categories.

Take the *HRA today to get your personalized health score!

*This is also one of the components of the Health Milestones Challenge.

WellnessFirst just finished up a 4-week wellness program for kids at Trailview School grades 3-6.  Throughout the weeks kids were able to try a variety of activities such as stilts, pogo sticks, jump ropes, hula hoops, yoga, and exercises using elastic bands.  The group also had a great nutrition lesson each class from Danna Woods. RD, LD.  Kids learned about whole grains, how to choose a healthy snack, the benefits of buying local produce, and sampled a groovy green smoothie containing fruits and spinach (and yes! they loved it!)

The kids got a give-a-way each week that they could use to be healthy at home.  They received: a jump rope, water bottle, a pedometer, an elastic band and lots of info on physical activity and healthy eating.

FirstLight partnered with Mora Community Education to provide this program.
