BPUB Teaches Community About Health

BPUB is always looking for ways to give back to the community, and one of the ways it does so is through the annual BPUB Connects to Wellness event.

This event is held in partnership with HEB and features stations dedicated to fitness, healthy eating and pharmaceutical advice. This year, we once again went back to HEB #5 on Paredes Line Road. HEB provides a great deal of support to all the activities. There was a chef at the Tasty Connections station, which features a live cooking demonstration of a healthy dish, as well as a nutritionist/dietician. There also was a member of the pharmacy team at the Healthy Connections stop to answer questions about medicine and provide useful tips. The Active Connections station was led by a BPUB employee who got people moving to a fun chair Zumba routine.

Each stop, which is run by BPUB volunteers, has a special giveaway, including pill cases, pedometers and reusable bags. And each time you go to a presentation, you can enter your name for a chance to win in our raffle. This year’s prize was a Fitbit to track all of the healthy progress.
With another year in the books, BPUB and HEB are looking forward to doing this again next year!st updates.
