Employer blood testing
Local organizations offer free or reduced-price blood testing for their employees. If you have been encouraged by your HR department to register for a blood chemistry, PSA, blood count or HgbA1c test through HRRMC, please call us at (719) 530-2057.
Health coaching
We all know we need to eat healthy, exercise and reduce stress, so why don't we do it?! A health coach works with you to create a healthy eating and active living plan that works for your lifestyle. We all have unique motivations for improving our wellness. A health coach can help you identify your motivations and move you closer to health. Health coaching can also take your current healthy living goals to the next level.
Tai Chi
A number of different Tai Chi classes are offered year-round. Most classes are progressive so it's important to note start dates of new sessions rather than beginning in the middle of a program. For more info, contact the Wellness Department.
