Active Choices is a new program that CareWell Services of Southwest Michigan will be offering to Barry and Calhoun counties in February. This is a telephone based support program to encourage regular physical activity. The unique delivery allows for continued accountability and personalization, as well as adaptability when the weather does not cooperate. The facilitator will assist you in choosing activities that fit your lifestyle. You will have support every step of the way to overcome barriers and celebrate successes. You will receive pertinent information to keep you on the right track. Best of all, the six month program is being offered free of charge!
