Terri A. │ Case Manager │Christian Health Center – Louisville

Terri, a case manager for Christian Health Center in Louisville, has been an active participant in the wellness program.

During the #MyFive Challenge this year, she was able to save an additional $30 per week, for a total of over $300 extra savings.  Terri said that staying away from fast food was the biggest factor allowing her to save money, so participating in that challenge helped her physical health as well as her financial health.  Terri offers this advice to anyone looking to improve their financial well-being: focus on your 401(k), contributing as much as your budget will allow.

           Terri says that participating in the wellness program keeps her accountable, improving her nutrition and increasing her time spent on exercise.  During the Spring Step Challenge, even though she was not walking the hospitals because of the virus-related restrictions, she still averaged over 10,000 steps per day!  She has also discovered over the last couple of years that eating hummus almost daily resulted in a “drop” in her cholesterol levels.
