Sarah said… - Welcome to WEGO Health, JA! I'm always excited to see new faces in our community of Health Activists. What brings you to visit with us? We have a heap of groups, I'm particularly fond of the Women's Health and the Fit groups but you'll see me all over the place interacting with other health activists.
Wanted to encourage you to take a moment and participate in our What Kind of Health Activist Are You quiz. It's easy to do, quite accurate (from everyone I've heard) and since you're already a WEGO Health member, it'll help you fill out your profile!
If you ever have any questions, feel free to drop me a line, I'd love to be helpful!
Be Well,
Sarah
