I've talked a lot about the Kansas Arthritis Program and, specifically, things that I do as the Epidemiologist and Evaluator for the program.
Today, I'm going to veer a little bit from what I do to share something really exciting: our first YouTube video!
Currently, one of the community-based programs that we are promoting for people with arthritis and also those with other chronic diseases is Walk with Ease. Walk with Ease was developed by the Arthritis Foundation to help people start walking and stay committed to walking or other physical activity throughout the year. The self-directed version of Walk with Ease (which we mainly promote) is done on your own with the help of a guidebook.
Since starting promotion of Walk with Ease less than a year ago, we've already had almost 400 people sign up to participate in the self-directed version!
It's super exciting and it's been wonderful to see the progress we've made (because all of the marketing materials and program infrastructure, including an online registration page, we made from scratch!)
So, click here to see our YouTube video on Walk with Ease, starring my colleague and very good friend, Missty!
(I tried to embed it in this blog, but I guess it's not possible on here ... or I'm experiencing technical difficulties ...)
