As associates of UC Health University Hospital, it is very important to support the mission of our organization which is to be of service to those in our community and beyond. Becoming part of the Go Vibrant challenge is one way the PYP’s are taking personal responsibility for our own health as well as the health and well-being of the Greater Cincinnati area.

Academic health systems are often some of the region's largest employers and are often the most recession-proof, keeping the health and vitality of a community more stable during times of fiscal uncertainty. Additionally, academic health systems are often involved at a grassroots level with health initiatives and street-level outreach within their communities. They often drive those initiatives, helping to increase the health of a community at large.

Academic health centers are also most often some of the nation’s most noticed in terms of public relations. Ongoing discoveries, new methodologies and treatments currently being pioneered within UC Health are highly visible indicators of our overall community’s health and vitality.

The PYP’s team is proud to represent UC Health in the 10 in 10 Go Vibrant challenge and we look forward to completing the challenge with success. Even if our goals fall short or our expectations are not met, we feel we have learned and will continue to learn from our experiences. We have tested our limits, we continue to make sacrifices, and we are learning the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Most importantly, that it is not just about a healthy body…it is about a healthy spirit.

Go PYP’s, Go Vibrant!
