NIEHS celebrated its annual Health and Fitness Week May 22-25 with an expanded array of activities thanks to a dedicated planning committee and group of volunteers. New events included an in-line skate party and a golf outing. Returning favorites included the Rogathon five-kilometer run and one-mile walk, a table tennis tournament, basketball shootout and 3 on 3 tournament, jump rope and Hula Hoop competitions, and Frisbee and football tosses. Representatives of health insurance and wellness organizations also exhibited in the Mall.
