COVER STORY ANNUAL HEALTH CARE ISSUE

ENGAGED & EMPOWERED

SUPPORTING PEOPLE TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH

TRAILBLAZER: Callyn Groff and The Arc of Lexington staffer Pete Giblin began taking short walks on a local bike path. Callyn came to enjoy hiking and walking so much that he started Club 72 to encourage people to hike the 72 local trails in the The Arc Lexington area.

The Engaged and Empowered Program is a wellness-based initiative for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) that both engages and empowers people with I/DD to take charge of their health. The program was created by The Arc Lexington.
