Wellness expo promotes healthy living The 2007 MUSC Health and Wellness Expo, sponsored by Piggly Wiggly, offered MUSC faculty, staff and students the opportunity to learn more about becoming fit and healthy and staying that way. Numerous organizations and companies from  throughout the Lowcountry set up booths offering healthy food products and fitness demonstrations.   “In spite of the bad weather, we had about 475  attendees, of these, 289 were employees, 150 visitors, and the remaining students,” said Annie Lovering, R.N., Employee Health and Wellness Program director. “There  was a wide variety of information and screenings. The expo had a feeling of professionalism, and attendees seemed to enjoy themselves.”   Lovering thanked Harper Wellness Center staff Michael Desrosiers, Mary Ellen Lenhardt, Howie Schomer, Benita Schlau, Tami Varn, and Jim Tomsic for their hard work in making this year's expo a success.     Friday, Jan. 26, 2007 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
