Exergaming

I would like to simply recognize all those medical students, dietitians, and nurses involved in the "Exergaming" program throughout the year, a program in which students interact one-on-one with local community children once a week at the Riverplex to teach the value of regular exercise, healthy lifestyle choices and preventative health.  The beauty is seeing how positively the children respond to having this mentor in their lives.  Despite a hectic schedule these individuals still find time to give back to the community in a creative and positive manner, and should be recognized for this altruism and humanism in medicine!
