What have you done lately….to make yourself proud?
NHS Coventry is launching a new campaign to encourage people to be Proud of taking the first steps to get healthier. Our Proud of Myself campaign, is part of the Proud of my City pledge to get ready for the 2012 Olympics.
We want to help as many people across the city to get over their own personal hurdles to a healthier lifestyle – whether that’s stopping smoking, getting the right treatment in the right place at the right time, or opting for a healthier diet and more exercise – we can help you live healthier, live longer.
Whether it’s taking part in a fun run or adjusting your eating habits, check out the wealth of information via the "Proud of Myself" portal.
Please see the below links for some of the various ways NHS Coventry can help you to get healthier.
