2023 Rhode to Wellness Challenge
October 15 – November 11
Join the 4-week Challenge leading up to RI World Diabetes Day!
Every year people across the globe celebrate World Diabetes Day. This year, residents of Rhode Island will celebrate on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Warwick. We extend a warm invitation to healthcare professionals and colleagues to participate in a cost-free morning filled with helpful, eye-opening, and enlightening presentations, discussions, and Q&A sessions. Plus, leading up to RI World Diabetes Day, join us for the four-week Rhode to Wellness Challenge, an initiative designed for participants to focus on a different area of wellness each week.
This four-week challenge leading up to RI World Diabetes Day inspires Rhode Islanders across the state to focus on a different area of wellness each week. The 2023 Rhode to Wellness Challenge launches on October 15 and runs through November 11.
Participants of the Challenge will choose a goal each week to Recommit to Wellness. Activities are recorded in their virtual or hard copy “calendar” and submitted to be entered into a raffle for giftcard prizes!
