The Healthy Team event is designed to improve individual health through a series of tests and healthy activities over the course of three months.
The teams are pre-tested by staff at GriffinHospital to get a base line score. They then have the opportunity to accumulate points for a series of healthy activites before returning to Griffin for post-testing and a final score.
